男科学 NAN KE XUE – ANDROLOGY

Etymology: Gk, andros: man, logos: science: The study of the health of men.  Men do not always seek help for their health problems. All are aware of testicular cancer and erectile dysfunction, but it is not just about the male anatomy. Emotional and mental issues, such as depression and eating disorders are increasingly being recognized as important issues for the health of men. At FullCircle Acupuncture HealthCentre we care about the health of men, and we address all issues that concerns the male patient. As experienced practitioners of Chinese medicine we recognize what cases require biomedical care and quickly refer out, while continuing to care for our patient in all other areas.

SEXOLOGY IN CHINA

The best-known compendium on sexology in the West is perhaps the Kama Sutra from ancient Hindu practices dating back many centuries BC. It treats sexual practices as an esoteric art of sexual love between male and female. A less known in the West are the ancient Chinese sexology treatises dating back to 168 B.C. The texts were only discovered in 1973 at the Ma Wang Tui Han tomb in Changsa, Hunan Province, China. They are composed of more than 20 ancient Chinese sex handbooks from the beginning of the Han Dynasty c.206 BC, to the end of the Tang Dynasty c.907 AD.
