In fact, when a person is weak and sick to a certain extent, sexual intercourse is likely to miss a major event, and they really must "abstain from sex." According to the interpretation of traditional Chinese medicine, disease and sex are competing for dying "kidney qi".

The "kidney qi" of traditional Chinese medicine is actually the total energy of the body, which is recognized by traditional Chinese medicine as the foundation of life. There is a diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine called "housework to death", which is the result of "having him without me" in the process of competition between life and sexual desire for energy.

Therefore, in order to treat or preserve health, Chinese medicine does not seek "abstinence", but pays attention to "abstinence", especially for chronic consumptive diseases, such as tumors.

Medical interpretation

In fact, there is no mystery in medicine. Studies have proved that the spermatogenic cells of male testis will stop working quickly in the event of critical illness, reducing the production of sperm until the body recovers. As long as women's body fat is less than 10%, menstruation will stop.

Sperm, menstruation and sex are the icing on the cake of life. Life can only achieve the purpose of reproduction after self-protection, so that the body can instinctively and clearly perceive the importance of various organs.

Sex can and must give way to life. Even if you don't "give up" or "abstain from sex" subjectively, the problems that accompany diseases, such as infertility and menstrual stop, are actually "abstinence" for you in your body.
