Is moxibustion on the Shenque acupoint effective in treating premature ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation refers to a symptom of premature ejaculation in men during sexual intercourse. This disease is one of the most common sexual dysfunctions in men, and can cause other sexual dysfunctions such as impotence. The mental factors that lead to premature ejaculation include excessive fatigue and long-term depression. There are many ways to treat premature ejaculation, and moxibustion on the Shenjue point is a commonly used method to treat premature ejaculation. But is its treatment really effective? Let's learn about it together.

The patient relaxes his whole body, lies on his back or sits with his back leaning, fully exposing the Shenque point (located in the center of the navel). The operator (the patient can operate by himself when sitting with his back leaning) holds the moxa stick with the thumb, index and middle fingers of his right hand like holding a pen to write, so that the moxa stick forms a 45-degree angle with the skin, and the burning end of the moxa stick is aligned with the acupoint (the distance between the burning end of the moxa stick and the skin at the acupoint is about one inch). Moxibustion is performed for 15 minutes, until the patient feels the warmth at the Shenque point penetrates into the abdomen, and the skin at the Shenque point turns red but does not burn the skin. After moxibustion, the patient should immediately cover the Shenque point with the palm of his hand for a few minutes to avoid getting cold. Moxibustion can be performed once a day, and 30 consecutive days is a course of treatment (there should be a 10-day interval between two courses). Generally, premature ejaculation can be cured after 2 to 3 courses of moxibustion.

Shenque acupoint is also called "Nuzhong", "Qishe", "Xia Dantian" and "Mingdi". It is located in the middle of the navel in the abdomen. The upper part is Yang and the lower part is Yin. This acupoint is between Yin and Yang. Its location is special. It is known as "the origin of the innate", "the root of the acquired", and "the root of life". It has the effects of harmonizing Yin and Yang, warming and unblocking the meridians, strengthening the body and eliminating evil, restoring Yang and consolidating the body, and warming and nourishing the spleen and kidney. Its effect "reaches from Niwan to Yongquan", so it can effectively treat sexual dysfunction such as impotence and premature ejaculation. From an anatomical point of view, Shenque acupoint is the final closure of the abdominal wall during embryonic development. It has less subcutaneous tissue, high skin sensitivity, poor barrier function, good blood circulation, and strong permeability. Therefore, it is very suitable for moxibustion treatment.

The above is an introduction to how moxibustion can treat premature ejaculation. In fact, moxibustion on the Shenque point can treat premature ejaculation very well. However, if you have premature ejaculation, it is recommended to go to a regular tertiary hospital for a comprehensive examination and receive treatment according to the diagnosis of the hospital doctor. The phenomenon of premature ejaculation should be treated as early as possible to achieve the best effect. You should also have a reasonable diet and try to avoid staying up late. I wish you good health.
