I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 219 - 186: Prostate? Just a Minor Issue!

In fact, many minor ailments can be resolved using the Yin-Yang theory.

For instance, a common situation is getting a fish bone stuck in your throat while eating fish.

Swallowing rice or drinking vinegar doesn't help at all.

In the end, you have to go to the hospital.

Actually, you only need to take a fish bone from the same fish, burn it, and drink it with water, and the bone stuck in your throat will dissolve instantly.

For example, if you have a lump on your body, you can do Ginger Moxibustion without hesitation.

The reason lumps form on the body is due to sediment accumulation. Similar cases include breast lumps, which indicate an excess of Yin in the body.

If the lump hasn't yet impacted your life, you can use moxibustion directly on it to dissolve the lump.

Lumps are Yin in nature, whereas moxibustion is Yang. The conflict between Yin and Yang energies will resolve them.

Moreover, you need not worry about any issues with moxibustion, because in thousands of years, although people have heard of medicine causing fatalities, no one has ever died from moxibustion.

If you can cause a life-threatening condition to yourself with moxibustion, it would certainly be a one-in-a-million genius move.

Actually, these solutions are all about achieving a balance between Yin and Yang, combining them to achieve harmony.

The key focus is on balance!

This concept essentially permeates traditional Chinese medicine's approach to treatment.

Balance is critical at all times.

This theory originally came from the Daoist School.

Therefore, if a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine does not understand The Book of Changes or Daoist principles, and only understands the medical aspect, they may never grasp many simple approaches to treating diseases.

...

In the clinic, everyone marveled at the wonders of traditional Chinese medicine.

They didn't expect that everyone's hair could also be used for treatment.

However, when you think about it, it's not surprising. In acupuncture, the needles are also placed on the body; they aren't special needles, nor do they require medication. Yet after applying them to acupoints, the person feels better. This suggests that the body already possesses healing properties. Otherwise, why would acupuncture have any effect?

"Dr. Lu, what you're saying is too profound, I don't understand. Let's just focus on the consultation." The man chuckled.

Lu Jiu smiled, "What's your name?"

"Chang Qing," he replied.

"What's bothering you?" Lu Jiu asked.

"Well... it's a bit of an issue in that area," Chang Qing said somewhat embarrassed.

Lu Jiu immediately understood. "Alright, give me your hand, let me check your pulse first."

Chang Qing, feeling relieved, extended his hands.

Lu Jiu placed both hands on his pulse, observing the pulse condition while listening to the conversation of the Five Viscera.

"Ugh... it's so cold, Heart Fire, add some fire, will you?" Spleen Earth said.

"Add fire? The small intestine's fire is out because of you, how can I add more fire?" Heart Fire responded.

"That's not my fault; it's his overeating during social events, and I can't process it. Whenever he overeats, I warn him with bloating and discomfort, but he doesn't listen and continues to indulge. What can I do?" Spleen Earth explained.

"It means you're not giving a strong enough warning. Look, Hydronephrosis is inconveniencing him when urinating, and he went to the hospital. You need to make him feel very uncomfortable, understand?" Liver Wood interjected.

"But the medication didn't resolve the issue; isn't he still struggling to urinate smoothly?" Spleen Earth countered.

"Of course, that's because the medicine isn't addressing Hydronephrosis directly, so naturally, it won't help him. Your cold and dampness have seeped into us, and the medicine only works on the urethral area, not helping us drive out the cold and dampness. Once he finds medicine that can do that, we'll naturally help him recover," Liver Wood explained.

"Our functions differ. Regarding his overeating, all I can do is cause him bloating and diarrhea. Besides, who goes to the hospital for a stomachache?" Spleen Earth retorted.

"How will you know if you don't try?" Liver Wood challenged.

"I…" Spleen Earth began.

... 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Oh?

Middle burner cold and dampness lowers, causing Qi deficiency and blood stasis. With poor lower burner circulation, difficulties in urination arise.

In essence, it's a dietary issue.

Chang Qing appears to weigh about one to two hundred kilograms, with a particularly large belly. His facial features are a bit puffy, indicating signs of heavy dampness.

"Have you gone to the hospital for treatment?" Lu Jiu released Chang Qing's wrist after checking the pulse.

"Yes, I started with medication, which was effective initially, but things got uncomfortable again after two days. This went on for about a month. The doctor suggested surgery, claiming it could cure it, but mentioning the risks of surgery. If they accidentally damage the sphincter, it wouldn't be about not being able to urinate, but not being able to stop it. That scared me, so I didn't proceed, even though they assured me the risk was minimal, but what if…" Chang Qing said with a wry smile.

"Your issue isn't actually down there, but rather due to excessive eating, leading to an excessive cold-damp condition in the Spleen and Stomach. This cold dampness is moving downward. When the body gets cold, Qi becomes deficient. Deficient Qi causes sluggish blood flow, causing blood stasis. When the cold dampness reaches the liver and kidneys, it affects the small intestine. With insufficient small intestine fire, it can't separate the clear and the turbid, further hindering your spleen and stomach transformation. Your Qi and blood transformation diminishes, while cold dampness increases, blocking the lower burner. That's why your urination is sporadic, sometimes not even possible."

"Do you understand? Essentially, it's not an organ issue. From my perspective, your organs have no issues at all. Surgery is completely unnecessary. If they accidentally damage the sphincter, it'll truly be an irreparable situation. For the rest of your life, you may have to rely on a catheter. Ultimately, the choice is yours, but from my perspective, surgery should absolutely not be an option." Lu Jiu stated.

Chang Qing's eating habits shaped his condition of a strong stomach and weak spleen. The stomach is responsible for receiving and the spleen for transformation. If you ingest too much, the spleen won't transform it proportionately. Beyond its capacity, it'll even transform less.

Over time, the strong stomach and weak spleen persist, causing endless cold and dampness generation in the body. Cold dampness, being Yin, inevitably moves downward.

The stomach, being Yang Earth, overpowers the kidney, leading to a weakened kidney Yang. The kidneys govern urination. With weakened kidney Yang, urination becomes difficult.

Thus, many prostate issues are fundamentally energy-related, not organ-related.

Even conditions like prostate enlargement or prostatitis share the same root issue.

"So, Dr. Lu, could you prescribe me medication?" Chang Qing, not quite comprehending the traditional Chinese theories, understood that he couldn't risk the surgery. If traditional Chinese medicine could solve it, he'd prefer taking medication.

Lu Jiu smiled, "Don't worry, it's not a big issue. Two or three doses should suffice."

Chang Qing's eyes widened in surprise, "Really?"

Lu Jiu got up and went to the medicine cabinet. "But there's a major precondition for complete recovery: you can't overindulge in eating and drinking moving forward. Remember, if you feel bloated or have an upset stomach after overeating, that's your spleen and stomach signaling an overload. Next time, eat less."

"In your current situation, it's better to be underfed than overfed, understand? Of course, if you really can't control your appetite, then there's not much I can do. I can adjust you once or twice, but no more than three times for the same issue. If you come to me after the third recurrence of the same ailment, I'm sorry, even if I can cure it, I won't."

Having treated many people, Lu Jiu's demands have become less strict.

In the past, with fewer patients, those who sought him for treatment had to change their lifestyle habits. However, as more people sought treatment, Lu Jiu identified an issue.

Many people's lifestyle habits weren't by choice. Some had to work night shifts to support their families, or had to entertain clients to survive, sacrificing health for a living.

To ask them to change is unrealistic; thus, Lu Jiu relaxed this rule quite a bit.

Of course, some people bring it upon themselves.

In such cases, Lu Jiu is adamantly uncompromising.

Chang Qing is reasonable, developed his condition from work-related socializing. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a matter of three times; if he returned after successful treatment, Lu Jiu absolutely wouldn't treat him again.

"Alright, alright, I'll definitely follow your advice." Upon hearing that Lu Jiu could treat him, Chang Qing's face lit up with more delight.

He secretly resolved not to indulge in eating and drinking recklessly anymore.

After all, prostate issues, affecting a man's dignity, truly felt shameful to him…
