Treatment of Obesity Combined with Erectile Dysfunction Based on the 'Brain-Heart-Kidney-Sexual Organs' Axis
Abstract：Erectile dysfunction (ED) has a high incidence in obese men, seriously affecting the completion of male sexual life and even male reproduction. The coexistence of obesity and ED is very common in clinical practice. Based on the 'Brain-Heart-Kidney-Sexual Organs' axis theory, the pathogenesis of obesity combined with ED is analyzed, and it is believed that deficiency of kidney essence is the fundamental cause, while phlegm and blood stasis in the sexual organs are the final link, and imbalance between the brain and heart runs throughout the entire process. Treatment involves improving kidney function and nurturing the original essence, consolidating the foundation and regulating the essence; resolving phlegm and removing blood stasis, unblocking the sexual organs; calming the heart and spirit, and promoting emotional well-being. Clinical treatment uses overall medication to strengthen the kidney and nurture the original essence, replenishing the kidney's essence and energy to consolidate the root and nourish the origin; adopts strategies to resolve phlegm and remove blood stasis, eliminating internal phlegm and blood stasis obstruction, restoring smooth circulation of qi and blood; implements measures to calm the heart and spirit, allowing the mind to be tranquil and the functions of the internal organs to coordinate, thereby restoring the normal function of the 'Brain-Heart-Kidney-Sexual Organs' axis, thus improving and rehabilitating the symptoms of patients with obesity combined with ED.
