Acupuncture & TCM Discussion Forum Weblog
Hi there,
Firstly, have loved this site - and now with added blog features is even better. I will definitely add you to my links once my site is up and running….
…But to my case study:
33 yo Male with a very red, inflamed foreskin, no visible discharge, but it is difficult and somewhat uncomfortable to pull back. He says there is occasionally an itchy sensation.
Apparently he is free of STD’s (he had check up 2 years ago and is monogamous).
He does suffer from Spleen weakness generally (Spleen qi xu), and has had chronic back pain since New Years. He is still a bit achy and gets tired so needs to lie flat on his back. That problem was the back muscles around lower sacrolumbar region (not Kidneys, nor spinal - although he does have a history of back complaints). He treated it with two acupuncture sessions, herbs, and massage of thousand flower oil, with application of salonpas patches. His lower abdomen has become more distended - it is not bloated as such, coz its quite flabby - looks like a beer-belly, except he doesn’t drink beer. His diet is very healthy (organics, wholefoods, mainly gluten-free), but the only diference he thought was that his intake of dairy had increased in the last two weeks (drinking glasses of milk, ice cream, cheese…).
There is yellowish coating on the back of his tongue, but not excessive in amount. Rest of the tongue looks normal (for him), but some indication of heat in the Upper Jiao also (red spots on tip of tongue). Teeth marks on side and cracks in middle - but these are always present (his chronic spleen qi issue)
Pulse is quite good. The only thing I could tell was a bit thready, but definitely not wiry.
He’s a little tired, with the back ache and a bit sick of not feeling ‘harmonious’ within himself since he hurt his back New Years Eve (he just got up from a chair and ‘bing!’ he was sore….)
What do people think?
My feeling is Damp-heat in the Lower Jiao. What points could we use to get rid of that inflammation? What herbs? Diet? etc….

Have you had any success with this patient yet? what treatment methods did you use?
if he has the red rash, yellow greasy coating on the root damp heat is definitly possible. Does he have any urinary tract symptoms (yellow smelly pee ?) Any spleen deficiency can cause dampness which can create heat in the lower jiao if it isn’t moving (stagnated heat).
Is there any more information about the rash ? red, itchy, …. any swelling ? burning ? redness indicates heat but not excess or deficient heat, itchiness generally points to wind but again what type of wind ?
if you can give some more information about your patient maybe we can put together a treatment plan for him.

I found your blog via Google while searching for Treatment For Chronic Low Back Pain and your post regarding aka Candida Balanitis looks very interesting to me. I could not believe the amount of quality material on this site. The site is extremely eyecatching and pulls the reader straight it, the articles are great quality and are very professionally written. I have seen too many of these sites where it looks like they pay an 8 year old to do the writing - Not this one. Your site is easily the best that I have seen in a long while.

back pain
If you have bouts of back problems, physical therapy management for low back pain may be the solution you need to restore your muscle strength while reducing pain.
