Pathogenic factors are also called etiological factors, and any cause that can disrupt the relative balance of the body and lead to dysfunction or disease is called an etiological factor. Because men have their own unique physiological and pathological characteristics, their etiology has certain specificity. In terms of Chinese medicine etiology, male diseases can be caused by factors such as “six external sexually transmitted diseases, seven internal injuries, inadequate endowment, external injuries, poisoning, strain, unhealthy lifestyle, age, phlegm and blood stasis”. When the six kinds of climate are too much or not enough, or “not its time but its qi”, “not its place but its qi” may cause the body dysfunction or disease, this time They are called the six evil spirits. Heat is a yang evil, most likely to hurt the essence and consume fluid, blood and sores, and male diseases are mainly in the lower jiao, so clinically, especially cold, damp and heat are the most common causes of male diseases. The seven emotions of happiness, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear and fear are the emotional reflections of the human brain on the stimulation of external objective things. Under normal circumstances, the seven emotions will not make people sick. When the emotional changes exceed the body’s normal range of adaptation, so that people’s qi disorder, the internal organs of the yin and Yang Qi and blood disorder, will cause disease, known as the “seven emotions internal injury”. Many male diseases are caused by the seven internal injuries, such as the onset of seminal cloud, the patient has a “pre-disease character”; venereal disease onset of “suspicion” “fear of disease”; always suspect their penis The patient’s anxiety after masturbation and so on. In terms of the occurrence of male diseases, especially with the seven emotions of anger, fear, thought of the three most closely related. 3.

The occurrence of male pathologies is closely related to physical factors. Whether it is congenital deficiency or acquired lack of nourishment, different types of physique can be formed, either favoring Yang deficiency, Yin deficiency, kidney deficiency, or spleen deficiency. These physical factors can cause the susceptibility of the body to certain disease-causing factors. In addition, the physical factors also determine the development trend of the disease. 4. External injury (1) front yin injury. Where the gun, gold blade, fall and kick, insect and animal injuries, surgery and other factors can damage the pubic apparatus, resulting in bleeding or stasis of blood.

The reason is that people have entered the modern civilized society, living in affluence, eating well, eating fine, excess nutrition, and reduced activity, resulting in such non-contagious epidemics. They are also called “diseases of affluence” because they rarely occur in poor societies and poor people. Defining these diseases as “diseases of affluence” or “diseases of modern civilization” is not conducive to the understanding of their causes nor to the attention of people to these diseases (there may also be people who use the terms “affluence” and “civilization”). “, “civilized” and proud!)
