Erectile dysfunction is the inability of the penis to consistently obtain or maintain an erection sufficient to complete satisfactory sexual intercourse for at least six months. In Chinese medicine, it is called impotence and is described as “impotence without lifting, lifting but not firm, firm but not long” in three different degrees. With the pollution of modern society, poor lifestyle, unreasonable diet, interpersonal tension, work pressure and increased anxiety, the etiology of impotence has changed considerably. Fear is one of the emotions in Chinese medicine, and people who are suddenly or chronically frightened will have clinical manifestations of fear of kidney injury. The further development of fear of kidney injury will lead to impotence. Fear, is a timid, fear of the psychological effect. That is a kind of mental extreme tension caused by the timid performance. Therefore fear in Chinese medicine is one of the five will manifestations. And long-term fear or sudden accidental panic, can lead to damage to the kidney, that is, as Chinese medicine says, “too much fear hurts the kidneys”. The kidney is the main reservoir of essence, the original source of vitality. Therefore, no matter what the cause of fear, are part of the kidney lesions. The understanding of fear hurting the kidney has been recorded in Chinese medicine for a long time. Su Wen Jiu pain theory said: “fear is the essence but, but the upper jiao closed, closed gas also, also the lower jiao swelling, so the gas under carry on.” Traditionally, fear of kidney injury refers to a series of clinical manifestations of kidney injury in a specific social environment, due to sudden fright that leads to rapid changes in emotions and excessive stress reactions of the body, which in turn leads to disorders of the body’s qi and kidney. However, in modern society, although the fear of kidney injury caused by sudden fright still exists, it is less common, and more common is the fear of kidney injury caused by chronic long-term fright. According to a recent survey: Chinese people are now under pressure, ranked first in the world, which is closely related to the rapid development of China’s economy, these pressures from work, further education, layoffs, economic, real estate, emotional and other aspects, people are always in the pressure of unemployment, broken capital chain, etc.. People under long-term stress are prone to anxiety, depression and other mood disorders, and the bad mood disorders of anxiety and depression can easily induce people’s inner fear, leading them to be in a state of chronic panic and fearful, like walking on thin ice. In addition, with anxiety, depression and other adverse mood disorders, it is easy to pay excessive attention to the subtle changes in the body, especially when the body discomfort, will induce excessive concern and worry, coupled with the excessive proliferation of health information and false propaganda, the lack of correct medical understanding, it is easy to lead to a long-term in a state of excessive worry and panic, such as a cup and a snake, worry about the sky. Therefore, in modern society, chronic fear of kidney injury is more and more common and dominant, while acute sudden fright caused by fear of kidney injury is less and less.
