Chapter 13 The body is the capital to conquer the world, andrology tips for healthy men (3)
The testicle is the most important sexual organ of a man. It can be said that it is the root of a man. The testicle will not easily cause pain. Once the testicle has pain, swelling and other symptoms, it means that there is an abnormality in the testicle.When you find that you have testicular pain, it is generally difficult to judge by yourself. Don’t be self-righteous and use drugs indiscriminately. You should seek professional diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible to avoid delaying the condition.However, many men are ashamed to seek medical advice, so they inadvertently delay the due treatment of testicular swelling and pain, resulting in aggravation of the condition.

In fact, testicular swelling and pain is a very common disease in andrology, and it is not a shameful disease.Sometimes, men can also cause testicular disease due to factors such as trauma, inflammation, and tumors.The degree of testicular swelling and pain varies from person to person.

[Nurse said] When I was studying, a male student had testicular pain. Because of shyness and embarrassment, he never went to the doctor.But all the roommates knew about the discomfort in his testicles, but he just didn't admit it.At the beginning, I slipped to a convenience pharmacy to buy medicine and applied it myself. Later, the condition got worse and worse, so I had to go to the pharmacy to buy medicine and apply it.

As a result, once the exam was approaching, his roommates panicked. It turned out that the male classmate had so much pain in his testicles that he could not even walk, and almost called an ambulance.But the male classmate refused to go to the hospital because of face.In desperation, I took a taxi, and a few people accompanied him to my grandfather's house overnight.Grandpa said that the classmate suffered from testicular swelling and pain, but the male classmate gave himself anti-inflammatory drugs. As a result, not only did it not relieve the testicular pain, but it aggravated the symptoms, making it difficult for him to walk.

Since my classmate lived in a university dormitory, my grandfather also knew that he had no conditions to make too complicated medicinal meals, so he told him two recipes, one is red dates hot drink, crushed red dates, soaked in water to drink instead of tea; the other is lotus seed water, Using raw lotus seeds with lotus hearts to make boiling water is also a substitute for tea.

After a while, the male classmate came to me alive and well, saying that everything was fine, and he wanted to treat me to dinner. Firstly, he wanted to thank me, and secondly, he wanted to bribe me so that I would not tell others the secret of his swollen and painful testicles.I took the opportunity to persuade him not to shy away from medical treatment, but to seek timely treatment when he is sick.

[Grandpa said] In addition to testicular swelling and pain caused by pathological factors, unhealthy living habits are also one of the culprits that cause testicular swelling and pain in men.Some men sit for a long time due to work or driving, which will cause great damage to the testicles and cause testicular pain.This is because the sitting posture of a person uses the two nodules of the ischia as the support point, and the scrotum can be easily suspended between the two thighs. However, maintaining the same sitting posture for a long time will cause the original fulcrum to sink, and the entire buttocks will sink into the seat , the padding and surface materials of the seat will surround and compress the scrotum. When the scrotum is compressed, the venous return will be poor, and the blood vessels near the testicle will become thicker. When the blood stasis is severe, it will lead to varicocele, and the patient will appear Heavy testicular descent, dull pain in lower abdomen.Therefore, both healthy people and patients should exercise more, walk around more, and avoid sitting in the same posture for a long time, which will cause testicular pain.

Gynecomastia, known as gynecomastia in modern medicine, refers to the unilateral or bilateral enlargement of male breasts after puberty or adulthood, and even presents gynecomastia.It is generally believed to be caused by male endocrine disorders.Due to testicular dysplasia or inflammation, injury, and tumor of the testis, the secretion of androgen in the body is reduced, and the liver function is abnormal, which leads to abnormal hyperplasia of breast tissue.Clinical medical research has shown that some men with prostatic hyperplasia will take estrogen and digitalis, reserpine, isoniazid and other drugs for a long time, and taking too much or taking too long may also cause male breast hyperplasia and hypertrophy.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that gynecomastia is often caused by stagnation of liver qi, stagnation of phlegm and blood stasis, or deficiency of liver and kidney, deficiency of yin and yang, etc.The method of treatment should be to soothe the liver and regulate qi, resolve phlegm and dissipate stagnation, or promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.Softens firmness and eliminates lumps, or nourishes liver and kidney, or warms and tonifies kidney yang.

[Nurse said] Thinking about it, it should have happened a few years ago. In that basketball game, there was a sudden heavy rain, and everyone was wet.After the friendly match, the boys all took off their shirts to celebrate, but there was only one male colleague who refused to take off his clothes when they were soaked.Everyone teased him that he must have some unknown mole or something. As a result, a sharp-eyed colleague vaguely saw the male colleague's chest bulge through his clothes.For obese men, it is not surprising that the chest position is slightly raised, but the strange thing is that this male colleague is very thin. Everyone was surprised. After asking, it turned out that the male colleague suffered from breast development.I went to the hospital before. The doctor gave him testosterone. He was fine during the test, but as soon as he stopped the testosterone, the symptoms came back and got worse. In addition, long-term use of testosterone has side effects, so he didn’t want to continue like this. The root cause of the treatment.

I advised him not to be discouraged, so I dragged him to find Grandpa.Grandpa saw that the situation of the male colleague was not serious, as long as he drank more Cassia water, the method was also very simple, as long as he used Cassia to make water and drink it instead of tea, he would be able to solve it for half a month.

Sure enough, a month later, the male colleague showed his upper body openly and sweated on the field, and the breast development was easily cured by this simple prescription.

[Grandpa said] Cassia cassia, also known as cassia seed, tastes sweet, bitter and salty, and slightly cold in nature. It has the effects of clearing the liver and eyesight, moistening the intestines and laxative.In traditional Chinese medicine, cassia seed is often used in the treatment of nebula, edema, constipation and other diseases.According to modern pharmacology, cassia tincture contained in cassia seed has obvious antihypertensive effect and lasts for a long time.Its alcohol extract has different degrees of inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, diphtheria bacillus, and pneumococcus.At the same time, cassia seed also has the effect of lowering serum cholesterol.Cassia offspring tea can reduce swelling and detoxify, inhibit estrogen in the body, and have obvious effects on treating gynecomastia.
