The main disorders in men include lowered libido, frequent seminal emission, impotence, early emission, no ejaculation, retrograde ejaculation, sexual urination, oligospermia, aspermia, unliquefiable semen, small testis, infertility (including that due to testicular varicosis) and prostatic hyperplasia. Among the main disorders in women are frigidity, no orgasm, leukorrhagia, irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, anovulation, tubal obstruction, infertility, and habitual abortion. Based on clinical observation over 30 years, the authors of this article improved their skills in point selection and treated altogether over 2000 cases with the above-mentioned problems.
