About Impotence

Impotence is a very common affliction. About 50 per cent of men between the ages of 40-70 are affected by impotence and yet despite this frequency, many men do not seek treatment due to inappropriate feelings of embarrassment.



Western Medicine View

The cause and therefore treatment of impotence varies greatly. Many men suffer from psychological impotence due to stress, performance anxiety, insecurities in the relationship etc. Conventional medicine tends to treat this with counseling. Medical impotence on the other hand, can be brought on by factors such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, excessive smoking and alcohol consumption, MS, drug side effects as well as direct problems with the penis function. Conventional medicine uses a variety of treatment methods from oral drugs, injections, and in some cases, penile implants.



Chinese Medicine View

Chinese Medicine is ideal for treating most causes of impotence due to its dual approach of healing mind and body.

The Chinese doctor will diagnose the state of the internal organs and the flow of Qi throughout the body, paying attention to small signs that are often missed using Western medical methodology. The doctor can quickly assess the causes of the impotence.

If it is mainly psychological, treatment will primarily involve balancing the emotions, reducing stress and strengthening the flow of energy to the sexual organs.

Physical impotence in Chinese medicine is primarily due to disorders of the Kidney, as this is where the Jing essence (essential to proper sexual function) is stored . Most cases of impotence are due to a form of Kidney Energy Deficiency, which is also aggravated by obesity, stress, smoking and alcohol.



Treatment Options

Acupuncture and Chinese herbs. A combination of Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine is highly effective at restoring balance to the Kidney function which will result in an increased sexual appetite and penile erection.
