What is Qi stagnation and blood stasis type orchitis?

Stagnation of Qi and Blood Stasis type orchitis is a diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), primarily characterized by testicular pain and functional disorders, often associated with emotional stress, anger impairing the liver, and liver Qi stagnation. Main symptoms include infertility after prolonged marriage, low libido, erectile dysfunction, inability to ejaculate during intercourse, low sperm count, and reduced sperm motility. Additionally, patients may experience depressive mood, distending pain in the chest and hypochondrium, and testicular swelling or pain. The tongue may appear dark red with petechiae, and the pulse is typically wiry or choppy. In treatment, TCM commonly employs methods to soothe the liver and resolve depression, as well as tonify essence and promote fertility, using corresponding herbal formulas. Patients with this condition should seek timely medical attention and undergo treatment and regulation under the guidance of a qualified practitioner.
