Excessive sexual activity in men can lead to a decrease in semen production

Some male friends have such troubles, every time they ejaculate, they feel that the amount is very small. In this section, we will give readers some knowledge about male reproduction. The normal amount of ejaculation is 2 to 6 ml each time. Most of the components of semen are prostatic fluid. It is impossible to estimate the amount of semen during normal sexual life because women also secrete fluid to lubricate the vagina. Only when doing an examination or masturbation can you have an intuitive judgment of the amount of ejaculation.

Most of the patients with oligospermia encountered in clinical practice are relatively young, mostly ignorant college students. They are all very scared because they suddenly ejaculate very small amounts of semen occasionally during masturbation, and the ejaculated substances are jelly-like or granular sticky substances, so they come to the hospital for treatment.

In fact, these patients have a common reason, which is that they masturbate too frequently. Although the normal frequency of sexual life has no clinical definition, it should not be too frequent, as long as you do not feel tired or exhausted. Generally, a young man in his twenties can do it about twice a week.

If you ejaculate too frequently, the prostate function in the body will not recover quickly, so the secretion of prostate fluid is less, and there will be less sperm or even no sperm. There is no need to worry about these symptoms. As long as there is no organic lesion after the examination of the reproductive system, there will not be a big problem. Pay attention to rest and maintenance and the frequency of ejaculation, and it will generally return to normal.

Traditional Chinese medicine generally believes that low sperm count and lack of sperm are caused by a deficiency of essence and blood in the human body. Traditional Chinese medicine says that "essence and blood have the same origin". Liver blood depends on the nourishment of kidney essence, and kidney essence depends on the continuous replenishment of liver blood. Liver blood and kidney essence support and transform each other. Both essence and blood come from the essence of water and grain digested and absorbed by the spleen and stomach. One part of the source of essence and blood is congenital, and the other part is acquired essence of water and grain.

Diji acupoint is an acupoint on the spleen meridian of the foot taiyin, and is also a Xi acupoint. In Chinese medical books, there is a description of Xi acupoints: "Xi means empty space, where qi and blood are deeply stored." This sentence describes Diji acupoint as a Xi acupoint on the spleen meridian of the foot taiyin, where the qi and blood of the spleen meridian of the foot taiyin are transported and distributed throughout the body. The spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation, and the body's water and grain essences and fluids are transported and transformed by the spleen. Therefore, massaging Diji acupoint has a promoting effect on the formation of semen.

Diji acupoint is located on the inner side of the calf, on the line connecting the inner ankle tip and Yinlingquan, 3 inches below Yinlingquan. So to find Diji acupoint, the most important thing is to find Yinlingquan acupoint first. Yinlingquan acupoint is located on the inner side of the calf, in the depression on the inner side of the tibia below the knee, opposite to Zusanli (or in the depression below the inner side of the tibia condyle).

Once a college student came to see me for treatment. He was evasive and embarrassed when he came to see me. At first, I didn't know why he came to see me. After repeated inquiries, I finally found out. It turned out that the amount of semen he produced during masturbation was very small, just a little on the toilet paper, which was much different from before. In addition, the shape of the semen had also changed. These times, it was granular and jelly-like, and very sticky.

I first did a semen routine test for him. The results showed that the semen volume was small, just reaching the lower limit of 2 ml, but there was no problem with other indicators. I comforted him with words and told him not to be so nervous. I asked him about his masturbation frequency. As expected, he had just started a girlfriend recently, so he masturbated more frequently. I asked him to control himself and participate in more extracurricular activities to divert his attention and not stay alone in the dormitory all day.

I did not prescribe any medicine, but taught him a method to massage the Diji acupoint to replenish kidney essence. I taught him step by step to find the Diji acupoint on the inner side of the calf, press the Diji acupoint with the tip of the thumb of one hand, and massage it clockwise for 30 to 50 circles, and then massage the entire calf for about 50 circles with the Diji acupoint as the center. Make sure that the trajectory of the circle passes through the Diji acupoint, and it is best to let the patient feel the heat in the calf. If you want to get a good therapeutic effect, it is recommended that you drink it before going to bed and within half an hour after waking up in the morning, and do it once each time.

I also told him to buy a massage hammer and tap the Diji acupoints when he was watching movies in the dormitory or had free time. The frequency did not need to be too fast, about 50 times per minute would be enough.

After a while, this college student came to see me because of a cold. He said that the method of massaging the Diji acupoint that I taught him last time was very effective and he no longer had low sperm count. He hoped that I could teach him massage to treat his cold this time so that he wouldn’t have to take any medicine.
