Abstract
Erectile dysfunction (ED) has been defined as the persistent inability to achieve and/or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse (>3 months). In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), ED is related with sexual indulgence, depression, congential deficiency and improper diet. The main pathogenic factors can be classified as liver stagnation, kidney deficiency, blood stasis and phlegm heat, and the main patterns are life-gate fire deficiency, emotional disturbance, heart-spleen deficiency and downward flow of damp-heat. Warm needling moxibustion, a method combining acupuncture and moxibustion, has the function of dredging meridians, warming meridians to expel cold, and reinforcing the vital essence. We have studied the therapeutic effect of warm needling moxibustion on ED.
