Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Hello all, A new patient has come to me, a young man (28) with erectile dysfunction due, his doctors say, to venous leakage. He has some high blood pressure also, hereditary; he says he would not have noticed except a routine doctors visit revealed it.He has signs of damp heat (red tongue, thick yellow coat; pulse is not too fast (about 85) but he is a serious athelete,it is fairly rolling and pushy in all positions. I am wondering if anyone has any experience or good questions about this condition. The venous leakage seems to imply spleen involvement, as it is about leakage of blood during an erection. Im wondering if Sp 1 used as it is with excess menstrual bleeding might be useful, along with points like Sp 9, Sp 10 CV 9, and probably some LV points, also LI11. (I am a very new beginner, please excure my huge unknowing!) This is the direction I intend to take, but Id really like any wisdom you can pass on! Thank you very much.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 You need to treat the condition via the pattern that you discern and not by the diagnosis given by the western doc. If you follow the western diagnosis you won't be as effective as you can be at best, or ineffective at worst. Douglas Knapp Doctoral Fellow, L.Ac.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 This does not change the fact that in order to be effective using TCM one must use the methods of diagnosis of TCM. Western alopathic medicines do indeed cause problems, but these problems, nonetheless, manifest themselves in the pattern of disharmony viewed when we observe our patient. Trying to treat a patient using using the Western ideas of what the herbs due dooms one to failure. Douglas Knapp Doctoral Fellow, L.Ac.
