Impotence

Impotence is a disturbance of the male reproductive function. This therapy is targeting fertility rather than strength of erection though stimulating the (TCM) Kidney functions can also stimulate the blood flow into the penis.

Points:

Ren 4 Guanyuan,
Ren 3 Zhongji,
UB 23 Shenshu

Prescription:

50 mg. of Vitamin B1, 5 mg. of testosterone propionate, or 500 cc. chorionic gonadotropin is injected into either of the above points alternating between the three.

Note: it is not known how "mg" (a measurement of weight) could be directly injected without putting this material into a wet medium measured such as "ml" or "cc". The source text does not provide this information.

Treat once every 2 - 3 days, 4 treatments to a course.

Notes:

The doctor should learn the cause and treat the patient accordingly, meanwhile explain to him so as to relieve him from worry.

Moxibustion may also be applied.

Acupuncture gives good results in the fertility clinic, though it is not an overnight phenomenon.
