Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Hi, I recently treated a young boy with cryptorchidism with success. I did some research in Chinese magazines before I treated the boy. It seems the consensus in China is that this is always a Kidney Jing issue, with blood stasis and should be treated as such. The boy often felt cold. The pediatrician was very reluctant to Chinese medical treatment and said surgery was the only possible solution. The testicle descended after six weeks of treatment- the pediatrician said it was pure coincidence. However, I did get calls from other pediatricians that wanted to know how the herbs had worked. This was the formula I used (after researching); lu jiao jiao 12 yin yang huo 9 ba ji tian 9 shu di huang 9 gou qi zi 9 san leng 6 e zhu 6 huai niu xi 6 wu zhu yu 9 bu gu zhi 9 ding xiang 3 li zhi he 9 chuan lian zi 9 regards, Tom. , " mands " <amandawaaldyk147 wrote: > > Hi, > > I am currently treating a young boy 1oyrs of age, with a left undescended testicle. > > I would like to hear your opinions on treatment of this condition, as only just recently > graduated. > > Case: > > History: febrile convulsion as an infant, did suffer numerous fevers as a child, last was > 2006 sept/oct (spring time).

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 When I was shadowing a teacher years ago, he worked with a small child, probably under 2 years old, with the same problem. He met a couple times a week and gentling manipulated the testicle to help it decend. He indicated they did this in China and it was all manual. Hope that helps. I'm not sure at 10 years old what the results would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
