Wang recently felt uncomfortable urination, some frequent urination, insomnia, sleeplessness, physical decline, penile erection is not as good as before, sexual life time is also shorter than before. He went to the hospital for a normal urine test, and the doctor prescribed several Western medicines without much effect. Feeling that he is a kidney deficiency, he went to the drugstore to buy some aphrodisiac pCms, the result is not only no effect but the erectile function is getting worse and worse. He is very confused, how to take the more drugs to improve erectile function of their erectile function is not good? At present, there are many varieties of proprietary Chinese medicines in hospitals and pharmacies. Due to the relatively small side effects and high safety of proprietary Chinese medicines, as well as the idea of traditional Chinese culture that traditional Chinese medicines treat the root cause, proprietary Chinese medicines have become the favorites of the Chinese people, and they tend to rush to them. However, due to the general public and some purely Western doctors do not understand the correct use of pCms, still in accordance with the way of taking Western medicine, read the instructions for the treatment of what disease on what pCms, the results in most cases counterproductive, and even doubt the effectiveness of Chinese medicine. The main reason for this result is due to the lack of understanding of the difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine thinking. Western medicine is mainly to identify the disease. First of all, the disease is diagnosed, and then the relevant treatment is given according to each disease. For example, if you are diagnosed with chronic prostatitis, you will be given antibiotics that target common causative agents and have a high concentration of drugs in the prostate. Chinese medicine is mainly based on evidence-based treatment. The first step is to determine which symptom the disease belongs to, and then according to the symptom to give the appropriate treatment, may be the same disease different treatment, may also be different diseases with the same treatment. For example, the same prostatitis, divided into dampness and heat, blood stasis, deficiency, kidney deficiency, according to the clearing of heat and dampness, blood circulation and blood stasis, tonifying the vitality, tonifying the kidney and astringent treatment of the different respectively given gentian laxative liver pills, blood chasing blood stasis pills, tonifying the vital energy pills, Zhi Bai Di Huang Pills, and so on. For the common treatment of prostatitis drugs on the market should also be clear whether it is the main diuretic, or the main stasis and according to the patient’s evidence candidates, so that the treatment will receive a good effect. For example, gentian diarrhea liver pill, from the perspective of Western medicine is the treatment of cholecystitis and other liver and gallbladder diseases. But its actual function is to clear the liver and gallbladder fire, clear the liver meridian dampness and heat, that is to say, belonging to the liver meridian dampness and heat injection evidence can be used gentian diarrhea liver pill treatment. For example, acute pyelonephritis, acute cystitis, orchitis, acute pelvic inflammatory disease, herpes zoster, etc. can be used. Even common male diseases impotence, premature ejaculation belonging to the damp-heat injection can also be used, and the effect is very good. Xiao Wang later came to the hospital for consultation, the examination found that his tongue was yellow and greasy, the pulse string slippery, consider the lower focal point of damp-heat, given gentian diarrhea liver soup and eight Zhengsan plus subtractions. Soon Xiao Wang’s disease was cured. Chinese medicine is mainly based on evidence-based treatment, with the same treatment for the same type of evidence and different treatments for different types of evidence, i.e., the same treatment for different diseases and different treatments for the same disease. You can’t look at Chinese medicine from a Western point of view. Although proprietary Chinese medicines are relatively safe, it’s best to use them under a doctor’s guidance.
