Homeopathic Medicines & Treatment for SPERMATORRHOEA

or involuntary loss of semen

#Phosphoric acid. [Ph-ac]

This remedy corresponds to the chronic effects of loss of seminal fluid, while Cinchona is
more suitable for the acute effects, such as emissions on three or four consecutive nights,
weakening the patient greatly. Under Phosphoric acid the whole system is weakened; the
legs are weak, and there is burning in the spine worse at night, the genitals are relaxed,
the scrotum and testicles are flabby, the penis has no power of erection, or the erection
are imperfect and the semen escapes too soon during coitus. Formication or a sensation of
crawling on the scrotum is also sometimes present. Impotence when the sensibility of the
part is excessive, and the semen is discharged shortly after or even before erection. There
is a sudden relaxation of the penis during coitus due to exhaustion rather than to
spasmodic action, as under Nux vomica. Hughes regards Phosphoric acid as probably the
most useful remedy for spermatorrhoea in the materia medica, but much depends on the
potency used, as the lower ones often fail. There is dragging in the testicles, and above all
the mental condition is important; the patient is distressed on account of the culpability of
his acts, and is anxious about the future of his health or else perfect indifference is
present. It is never to be used when general irritability is present,and probably many
failures are owing to its misuse in this particular. Phosphorus has impotence preceded by
over-excitation of the genital organs. It also has discharge of prostatic juice during a hard
stool and frequently involuntary seminal emissions. Picric acid has disturbed sleep from
erections and too frequent seminal emissions. Spermatorrhoea, with great desire, followed
by great prostration. King, in his work on spermatorrhoea, advises the higher potencies as
the lower ones are apt to aggravate.

#Gelsemium. [Gels]
Characteristic of Gelsemium are frequent involuntary emissions at night, with relaxation of
the organs; the whole system is relaxed and emissions occur from the slightest exertion or
excitation. There are no lascivious dreams, and it is particularly the remedy in cases
arising from masturbation. Dioscorea has atonic seminal emissions; there is a passive
state, and the patient will have two or three dreams a night, with emission of semen and
the day following will feel very weak about the knees. Farrington advises it first in the 12th
and then in the 30th potency. Eryngium aquaticum. General debility, seminal emissions
without erections. Digitalis has also involuntary emissions during sleep, without dreams,
followed with great weakness. Baehr recommends Digitalis 3rd trituration in
spermatorrhoea and claims that it usually suffices. It should be given early in the morning.
Dickinson claims better results from this remedy than from any other.

#Calcarea carbonica. [Calc]

When night sweats follow every emission, and when coitus is followed by weakness in
mind and body, calcarea is the remedy. It is especially useful in shattered constitutions
where the patient sweats from any exertion. The sexual desire is excessive and the
nocturnal emissions occurs about three in the morning or later. The erection are weak and
excitable, there is sensitiveness of the urethra and irritable impotence. There is tendency
to cold clammy sweat on the hands after emissions, there is pain in the back and head and
trembling of the legs. Great weakness follows all indulgence. Calcarea suits these
conditions in young people who grow too rapidly. Caladium. Here, after masturbation, the
penis is a flabby as a rag, the prepuce when withdrawn behind the glands does not have
sufficient contractility to replace itself. Nocturnal emissions occur with or without dreams.
It is indicated in the advanced stages when there are no erections . Emissions occurring
without any sexual excitement whatever is a good indication for Caladium. Feeling of
coldness and cold perspiration about the genitals is also a useful symptom for the remedy.

#Staphisagria. [Staph]
Staphisagria is the remedy for the bad effects of masturbation where there is great
emaciation with dark rings under the eyes, sallow face, peevishness and shyness. The
patient is hypochondriacal and permits the mind to dwell too long on sexual subjects ; the
boy becomes uneasy about the state of his health. There may also be irritability of the
prostatic portion of the urethra. In the female, Staphisagria is the remedy when the organs
are in a state of irritability. It is the remedy for the advanced stages and in cases of long
standing. It is the best remedy in anxious and imaginary persons who are uneasy about
the state of the health.

#Agnus castus. [Agn]

This remedy is suitable to old men who have spent most of their lives in excessive venery.
These so called "old sinners" are just as excitable in their sexual passions at 60 as at 18,
and yet they are physically impotent. It is also useful in paralytic impotence, where there
is loss of both sexual desire and erection, and there is coldness of the sexual organs. This
condition oftentimes comes from gonorrhoea and gleet. Nuphar lutea has absence of
sexual desire; voluptuous thoughts do not cause erections. There are losses of semen
during sleep. Atonic spermatorrhoea occurring from weakness of the sexual organs. Agnus
castus is also a remedy in sexual melancholia and simple impotence.

#Nux vomica. [Nux-v]

For the bad effects of early masturbation, Nux is an important remedy. It should be given
when the patient suffers from headache, frequent involuntary emissions at night,
especially toward morning, and the digestive organs are weak. There is an irritable
condition from sexual excesses, erections taking place, but they are not under the control
of the mind and may subside at any time during an embrace; this is a common complaint
of city men who have been high livers and drinkers all their lives. Strychnia is perhaps
better than Nux where there is a great spinal exhaustion; spermatorrhoea arising from
plethora; irresistible desire to masturbate. The higher attenuations act better than the
lower.
#Sulphur. [Sulph]
In sexual conditions Sulphur is useful when the patient is weak and debilitated, suffers
from gastric ailments, and has frequent involuntary emissions at night , exhausting him
greatly. The seminal flow is thin and watery and has lost its characteristic properties. The
genital organs are relaxed, the scrotum and penis are flabby, the penis is cold and the
erections are few and far between. In coitus the semen escapes too soon, almost at first
contact; the patient suffers from backache and weakness of the limbs, and he is low
spirited and hypochondrical. Complete prostration and loss of sexual desire is a marked
symptom of Sulphur.

#Conium. [Con]
The remedy, on account of its mental conditions, is of great utility in the treatment of
sexual excesses. It produces a perfect picture of hypochondriasis; the patient is
melancholic, naturally excitable, but has gone over to this weakness. There is no local
irritability as under Zincum. Sepia has seminal weakness, with erethisms and easy
emissions. Conium is especially the remedy where nocturnal emissions are brought on by
suppression of the natural desire and there are pains in the testicles. Emissions on the
slightest provocation.

#Zincum. [Zinc]
This remedy corresponds to long-lasting abuse of the genital organs, with great
hypochondriasis. The patient has a pale sunken face with blue rings about the eyes, and
there is with this drug great local local irritation, the testicles being drawn up against the
external ring. Aurum may be useful when despondency predominates.

#Lycopodium. [Lyc]
Lycopodium is the remedy for cases which have gone on to complete impotency; the
erections are absent or imperfect and the genital organs are cold and shrivelled.
Exhausting pollutions without erections. Lilienthal termed Lycopodium "the old man's
balm." It corresponds especially to the impotency of old age where there is great
despondency. Kobalt has backache following seminal emissions. Sarsaparilla has nocturnal
erections with lascivious dreams, followed by pain in the back down to the spermatic
cords; prostration, the least excitement causing ejaculation without sexual feeling.

#Selenium. [Sele]
Seminal emissions, voluntary or involuntary, make the patient worse.The patient is so
relaxed that the semen dribbles involuntarily. Lack of confidence is also a factor. The
mental condition of inability is more of a leading symptom, according to Halbert, than that
of timidity; in fact, this writer rightly lays great stress on the mental symptoms of the
drug. Graphites has want of sensation during coitus, with no discharge of semen. Selenium
has the symptom that the prostatic fluid oozes while sitting, during sleep, when walking
and during stool. It is useful in advanced cases where the organs are in a state of
irritability.
