The Battle to Protect a Man's Virility: Penis Exercises, Massage for Priapism, and Folk Remedies for Elephantiasis

The simplest ways to exercise the penis are to consistently perform Kegel exercises and sitz baths, both of which improve blood circulation in the perineum. Additionally, some sexologists in China have developed a set of penile exercises; consistent practice will yield significant benefits. Lower Abdominal Friction: Before bed, place one hand on your lower abdomen below the navel and above the pubic bone, and the other hand on your lower back. While pressing on your lower back, gently rub your lower abdomen from right to left until you feel warmth. Inner Thigh Massage: Before bed, place both hands on your inner thighs and gently massage diagonally 36 times. Strengthening Penile Response: In the morning, before urinating, gently press the area about one-third of the way down the penis with your fingers, pushing it upwards. Then, feel the penis's response with your fingertips while simultaneously tightening your anus and pushing the penis upwards. Repeat this exercise for about one minute.

Priapism is a prolonged erection of the corpora cavernosa of the penis without sexual desire. If left untreated, it can lead to permanent impotence. In addition to medication, massage can be used: (1) Pressing Hegu and Quchi: Press Hegu and Quchi points on both sides with the index and middle fingers for 1-3 minutes, with a strong touch. (2) Pinching and rubbing Neiguan and Shenmen: Pinching and rubbing with the tip of the thumb for 1-3 minutes. (3) Pushing and rubbing Laogong: Pressing and rubbing with the pad of the thumb for 1-3 minutes, starting lightly and gradually increasing the pressure. (4) Pushing and pressing the spine: Pushing and pressing down along the spine from the high bone of the neck to the lumbosacral region 5-8 times. (5) Pinching and rubbing Neiting and Lidui: Pinching and rubbing the two points with the tip of the thumb, with a slightly stronger touch. (6) Pressing and rubbing Taixi and Sanyinjiao: Pressing and rubbing for 3-5 minutes until a sore and distended feeling is produced. (7) Rubbing Yongquan: Rubbing the Yongquan points on both sides with the thumb for 3-5 minutes. Patients with priapism should not avoid seeking medical treatment and should seek treatment as soon as possible.

There is a special type of penile swelling called "elephantiasis," where the skin of the penis and scrotum swells, thickens, and hardens like elephant skin. There are three main folk remedies for elephantantiasis: The first remedy: 60 grams of *Clematis chinensis* (透骨草), 30 grams each of fresh camphor leaves and pine branches, and 15 grams of ginger. Boil in water, and use the steam to fumigate and then wash the affected area. The second remedy: 60 grams each of fresh cypress leaves, fresh camphor leaves, and pine needles, and 30 grams of ginger. Chop and boil in water to fumigate and wash the affected area. The third remedy: 30 grams each of realgar and licorice root, and 60 grams of alum. Boil in water, and use the hot decoction to fumigate and wash the affected area. All three remedies are external fumigation and washing therapies, using warmth and medicinal vapors to open the pores and promote blood circulation.

Among penile diseases, there is a condition called Peyronie's disease, the main symptom of which is the appearance of cord-like indurations on the dorsal side of the penis. A folk remedy for this condition is as follows: Prepare 30 grams of tangerine peel, 18 grams of tangerine pith, and 24 grams of prepared Pinellia ternata. Grind them into a coarse powder, soak them in white wine for 7 days, filter, add 500 grams of distilled water, boil, cool, and then add 5 grams of potassium iodide. Take 2 grams of the decoction diluted with water each time, after breakfast and dinner.

Penile glans ulcers, also known as genital sores, can be treated with a herbal honey ointment. Preparation method: Prepare 10 grams of licorice and 100 ml of honey. First, decoct the licorice in water until it is concentrated to 20 ml, then add honey and boil, removing any foam. Specific operation: Clean the ulcer with saline solution, apply the herbal honey ointment, and apply it again after the liquid dries. Apply it a total of 7 times. The ulcer will shrink significantly on the third day. Penile cancer is also a common malignant tumor in men. Prevention details include: (1) Early circumcision for those with phimosis. (2) Reduce adverse sexual stimulation. (3) Early examination for penile discomfort. (4) Maintain local cleanliness and hygiene.
