How TCM Clears Pelvic Damp-Heat and Stops Blood in Semen for Seminal Vesiculitis

Some men feel a sense of swelling in the pelvic cavity after sexual intercourse and a burning sensation when urinating. In this case, many people will choose to avoid it because they feel embarrassed. But this may indicate that there is inflammation in the seminal chamber in the pelvic cavity, which is what we often call seminal vesiculitis. 

The typical symptoms of hemospermia and bulging are mostly related to the "pelvic dampness and heat" in the body. Regulating seminal vesiculitis in traditional Chinese medicine is never a simple fight against inflammation, but a combination of symptomatic conditioning of each person's constitution.

Today, I will tell you how to clear pelvic dampness and heat, stop hemospermia, and help the body return to a comfortable state.

Effect of Pelvic Damp-heat on Hemospermia 

In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, the "damp-heat" and "hemospermia" of seminal vesiculitis are closely related, mostly accumulated slowly by daily habits.

Bad eating habits: hot pot barbecue, love to drink a little wine, and cannot be separated from spicy and strong-flavored foods. These foods accumulated in the body will form "dampness and heat," sink into the pelvic cavity of the sperm chamber, slowly erode blood vessels, and then cause hemospermia.

Sexual activity is not abstemious: sexual intercourse is too frequent; they often stay up late, sit for a long time, and can use up the kidney gas that hurts the body. Kidney Yin is insufficient, causing empty fire, affecting the seminal chamber; and sitting for a long time can cause pelvic cavity blood circulation to become slow, damp, and hot, and it cannot be discharged smoothly, accumulating more seriously.

Emotions and accidents: long-term anger and too much pressure. TCM has said "liver-qi stagnation" for a long time will turn into fire and damage yin; even if only a slight bump in the lower abdomen, it may also lead to blood stasis in the pelvic cavity. Blood stasis superimposed on dampness and heat will make it more difficult to improve hemospermia.

Spleen and stomach problems: poor digestive function, eating greasy food, or diarrhea, which is a sign of weakness of the spleen and stomach. The spleen and stomach are key to the body's transportation and transformation of water and dampness; once the function is weakened, water and dampness cannot be discharged normally and, over a long time, will be transformed into dampness and heat, indirectly aggravating seminal vesiculitis.

TCM Targeting the Clearance of Pelvic Damp-Heat and Stopping Bleeding

Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to "one person, one formula" and does not use heat-clearing drugs casually, but treats symptoms according to specific symptoms.

Damp-heat type: This is the most common type, mostly related to improper diet. Typical symptoms include burning urine, distending pain in the perineum, reddish hemospermia, and, in some people, a bitter taste in the mouth and a yellow and greasy tongue coating.

The core of its conditioning is "clearing heat and promoting diuresis," commonly used in Bazheng Powder or Longdan Xiegan Tang. Among them, Phellodendron and gardenia can clear heat, plantain seed and Alisma can promote diuresis, discharge dampness and heat in the body through urine, repair damaged blood vessels, and remove dampness and heat in the pelvic cavity, and inflammation will naturally subside.

Blood stasis internal resistance type: Seminal vesiculitis is delayed for a long time, or people with a history of trauma are prone to this situation. The obvious symptoms are prickling pain in the perineum, aggravated pain when pressing, dark color of hemospermia, possibly with blood clots, and abdominal distension at ordinary times.

It focuses on "promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis," with Xuefu Zhuyu Tang as the basic prescription, with Salvia miltiorrhiza, red peony root, peach kernel, and other herbs to dredge blood vessels and improve pelvic blood circulation so that blood stasis can be unobstructed, inflammation can be absorbed by the body, and blood in semen will gradually stop. 

Spleen and kidney deficiency type: In addition to hemospermia, this kind of patient will be accompanied by soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, fatigue, loss of appetite, loose stool, and other symptoms, and the discomfort after sexual intercourse will be more obvious. This is because the spleen and stomach are weak, the kidney qi is insufficient, the body's resistance is reduced, and it is difficult to resist pathogenic factors.

This type needs to "tonify the spleen and kidney" with Shenling Baizhu San and Zuogui Wan. Codonopsis and Poria can strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach; Rehmannia and Cornus can tonify the kidney and replenish essence. Only by consolidating the body foundation can dampness and heat be eliminated and the conditioning effect be consolidated. 

Type of hyperactivity of fire due to yin deficiency: It is mostly caused by improper sexual intercourse and staying up late. The symptoms are bright red hemospermia, accompanied by dry mouth and throat, fever in the palms and soles, insomnia, and dreaminess.

The idea of this type of conditioning is to "nourish Yin and reduce fire," and Zhibai Dihuang Wan is selected. Anemarrhena and Phellodendron can reduce deficiency fire; Rehmannia and Ophiopogon can replenish body yin fluid, clear deficiency fire, and nourish the body. 

These formulas seem complicated, and doctors will adjust the medication according to each person's specific symptoms and follow professional advice.

Natural Herbal Therapy 

On the basis of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment, there is also a practical option—the Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill, a natural herbal therapy developed by Dr. Li's clinic. The most reassuring thing about it is that it uses more than 50 kinds of pure natural herbs, without additional ingredients, and is relatively mild.

On the one hand, it can accurately remove pelvic dampness and heat, and the selected houttuynia, dandelion, and purslane are high-quality herbs for clearing dampness and heat, detoxifying, and diminishing inflammation. 

Moreover, it has been clinically adjusted by Dr. Li's clinic for many years, and its compatibility ratio is more suitable for the constitution of patients with seminal vesiculitis, which can quickly penetrate into the pelvic cavity and resolve damp-heat stagnation.

On the other hand, hemostatic and blood-nourishing ingredients such as Chinese ganoderma and small thistle are added, which can mildly repair damaged blood vessels while clearing dampness and heat, help to quickly stop hemospermia, and will not damage the spleen and stomach like some powerful drugs. 

What's more, the Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill also follows the principle of "one person, one formula." Dr. Li will fine-tune the ingredients in the basic formula according to the different conditions of patients, such as excessive dampness and heat, obvious blood stasis, or weakness of the spleen and stomach, so as to make the conditioning more accurate.

External Treatment to Help the Body Speed Up Recovery 

In addition to oral medicine and natural herbal therapy, there are many external methods of traditional Chinese medicine, which can directly act on the pelvic area to alleviate discomfort.

Acupuncture therapy: Aiming at the acupoints related to the pelvic cavity, such as Sanyinjiao, Guanyuan, and Zhongji, through gentle stimulation, it regulates the qi and blood in the body, promotes the blood circulation of the pelvic cavity, and reduces the inflammatory reaction. Acupuncture therapy can reduce the feeling of perineal swelling and make urination smoother.

Acupoint application: Grind the traditional Chinese medicine into powder, mix it into a paste with wine, and apply it to the acupoints around the navel or in the lumbosacral region. The medicament slowly permeates through the skin, can play a role in dispelling dampness and heat without taking the medicament, cannot cause blistering and scarring of the skin, and is very convenient to operate.

Seminal vesicle massage: It needs to be performed by a professional doctor. The doctor gently presses the seminal vesicle area on both sides with his finger pulp. The force is mild and will not damage the body. This can promote the blood circulation of the seminal vesicle, relieve muscle tension, help to discharge the secretion of siltation, and help to alleviate the feeling of hemospermia and bulging.

Lifestyle Regulation 

Lifestyle habits during conditioning directly affect the progress of recovery, so we need to develop good habits.

Give up spicy, greasy food and alcohol for a while, eat more light vegetables and fruits, and drink more water to help the body get rid of dampness and heat. Avoid sitting for a long time and exercise moderately. You can walk and jog at ordinary times to promote the circulation of Qi and blood.

Work and rest regularly, and don't stay up late. Ensure 7-8 hours of sleep every day so that the body has enough time to repair; practice sexual abstinence to avoid excessive consumption of kidney qi. 

Keep a good mood and don't be anxious because of illness. A bad mood will aggravate liver-qi stagnation and affect recovery. They can relax their minds by listening to music and chatting, which is more conducive to physical rehabilitation. 

Conclusion 

Seminal vesiculitis requires symptomatic conditioning of TCM, taking medicine according to the will, and developing good habits during the conditioning period. In this way, the damp-heat in the pelvic cavity can be cleared more quickly, and the hemospermia can be stopped. 

Take good care of your body, and it will naturally give good feedback.
