Abstract:
[Objective]To summarize Professor PENG Yu's academic experience in treating male diseases from the perspective of ministerial fire.[Methods]Based on a thorough understanding of the pathogenesis of male diseases and their clinical manifestations,this study systematically summarizes the impact of ministerial fire on male physiology,the pathological characteristics of ministerial fire hyperactivity and its relationship with male diseases,and the principles and methods for treating male diseases from the perspective of ministerial fire.A typical clinical case was also presented as proof.[Results]Professor PENG believes that ministerial fire plays a crucial role in maintaining the growth,development,maturation and functional expression of male reproductive organs,thereby exerting a positive impact on male physiology.However,under pathological conditions,the hyperactivity of ministerial fire is characterized by its interaction with Yin deficiency,stimulation by sovereign fire,mutual disturbance with damp-heat,and the formation of phlegm and blood stasis.These pathological changes can induce some male diseases.In terms of treatment,emphasis is placed on nourishing the kidney water and purging the kidney fire,clearing the heart fire and purging the liver fire,resolving damp-heat,and dispersing phlegm and blood stasis.Specific therapeutic principles and formulas are established based on the unique pathogenesis of each male disease.In the typical case,the patient was diagnosed as a pattern of disharmony between the heart and kidney.The treatment involved clearing the heart fire,purging the kidney fire,nourishing the kidney water,and regulating the spleen and stomach,and was treated with modified Zhibai Dihuang Decoction combined with Nianmo Decoction for over one month,resulting in marked symptoms control.[Conclusion]Professor PENG Yu is adept at analyzing the pathogenesis of male diseases from the perspective of ministerial fire hyperactivity.He focuses on the treatment of male diseases with Yin-nourishing methods,using concise and flexible medication adjustments,thus providing new insights for the clinical differentiation and treatment of male diseases.
