What are the symptoms of male infertility?

The method to judge infertility is very simple. If a man and a woman have normal and regular sex life without separation and do not take any contraceptive measures for more than two years without getting pregnant, it is a problem of infertility. The main symptoms of male infertility include soreness in the waist and legs, decreased sexual ability, and frequent urination for a long time. These symptoms are related to the function of the kidneys. In addition, there are diseases such as scrotal or low back pain.

Male infertility refers to a couple who have lived together for more than two years without taking any contraceptive measures and have not conceived. The female's examination is normal, while the male's examination is abnormal. If a couple has lived together for more than two years after marriage and has not conceived without taking any contraceptive measures, there are reasons on the female side and there are also diseases on the male side. If it is a disease on the male side, the common causes are: congenital deficiency, insufficient kidney essence; insufficient kidney qi, weak sperm gate or kidney essence depletion, uncontrollable slipping, or excessive sexual intercourse, kidney failure to store sperm, or emotional tension, imbalance of essence and qi, etc. In short, the cause of the disease is related to the kidney, kidney essence, qi deficiency, and even kidney yang deficiency, kidney yin deficiency, and kidney yin and yang deficiency.

The following are some common clinical types of male infertility:

① Male infertility due to deficiency of kidney yang. Symptoms include pale complexion, listlessness, fear of cold and cold limbs, sore waist and weak legs, low libido, clear and long urination, frequent or frequent urination at night, pale and tender tongue, moist white fur, and weak or fine pulse.

The main treatment methods are warming the kidney to assist yang, nourishing the kidney and benefiting the kidney. Medication should not be biased. Those who treat yang should seek yang in yin, and those who replenish yin should seek yin in yang. While replenishing the kidney, attention should also be paid to the concurrent symptoms: if there is concurrent qi deficiency, add qi-replenishing products, if there is blood deficiency, add blood-nourishing drugs, if there is damp-heat, use heat-clearing and damp-removing drugs, and if there is blood stasis, use blood-activating and stasis-removing drugs. Commonly used prescriptions include: Jinkui Shenqi Pills or Yougui Pills with modifications for kidney yang deficiency, Zhibai Dihuang Pills or Zuogui Pills with modifications for kidney yin deficiency, Dabuyuan Decoction with kidney warming and yang strengthening drugs for both kidney yin and yang deficiency, Bazhen Decoction with kidney-tonifying drugs for combined qi and blood deficiency, Ermiao Pills with kidney-tonifying drugs for combined dampness and heat, and can be combined with acupuncture, massage, and qigong to improve the efficacy.
