Abstract:
The pathogenesis of varicocele infertility is complex, and currently, there is no specific drug for clinical treatment, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has certain advantages in improving clinical symptoms of patients and improving sperm quality. Based on the theory of deficiency and stasis in TCM and modern related research, we believe that static blood blocking collaterals is the initiating factor of this disease, and kidney essence deficiency is the immanent trend of this disease. The pathogenesis and treatment method of this disease are studied on the basis of "soil theory". Guilu Tongqu Decoction is a formula developed by our team based on "soil theory" for the treatment of varicocele infertility. It is a modified version of the classic formula Zuogui Pill , which has the effects of tonifying the kidney, nourishing essence, and promoting blood circulation for removing blood stasis. Its clinical efficacy is good. At the same time, based on our team's extensive clinical practice, we propose three treatment strategies for varicocele infertility, namely, the combination of systemic and local treatment, the combination of radial and symptomatic treatment, and the combination of TCM and surgical procedures. These methods can effectively improve the overall therapeutic effect and provide a reference for the treatment of varicocele infertility with TCM.
