Objective. To investigate the clinical efficacy and possible mechanism of electroacupuncture in the treatment of premature ejaculation. Methods. 50 cases of premature ejaculation patients who met the diagnostic criteria were randomly divided into 2 groups with 25 cases in each group. The observation group was treated with electroacupuncture, and the control group was treated with Longdan Xiegan decoction. The treatment period was 4 weeks. Ejaculation latency (IELT), sexual satisfaction score of patients, sexual satisfaction score of partners, testosterone test, and drug safety assessment were performed in all 4 groups before and after treatment. Results. IELT was prolonged in all groups after treatment, the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). At the same time, the IELT of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group after treatment. Life satisfaction scores of patients and spouses in 2 groups were improved after treatment compared with before treatment, the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). After treatment, the satisfaction scores of patients and spouses in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). Before treatment, there was no significant difference in serum testosterone levels among all groups ( P > 0.05 ). Serum testosterone levels in all groups were decreased after treatment compared with before treatment, with statistical significance ( P < 0.05 ). After treatment, the serum testosterone level of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). During the treatment, the adverse reactions in each group disappeared after treatment, and no obvious abnormality was observed in the safety indicators. Conclusion. Electroacupuncture can improve the symptoms of premature ejaculation, which may be related to the regulation of serum testosterone by acupuncture.
Objective. To analyze the application effect of Jiawei Sanyu Shengjing decoction combined with high ligation of the internal spermatic vein in male infertility patients with varicocele (VC). Methods. 106 male infertility patients with VC treated in our hospital from December 2018 to March 2019 were selected as examples. According to the length of stay, they were divided into the control group and observation group, with 53 cases in each group. High ligation of the internal spermatic vein was performed in both groups. On this basis, the observation group was treated with modified Sanyu Shengjing decoction, and the therapeutic effects of the two groups were compared. Results. The effective rate of 94.34% in the observation group was higher than 79.25% in the control group ( P < 0.05 ). After treatment, the serum index level and sperm deformity rate in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the semen density and sperm activity were higher than those in the control group ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. The treatment of VC male infertility with modified Sanyu Shengjing decoction combined with high ligation of the internal spermatic vein can effectively improve the number of sperm and reduce the density of semen.
