Spermatorrhea is a disorder in males where an individual experiences involuntary ejaculation or release of semen without erection.
The astringent herbs have the function of stabilizing the Essence, Body Fluids and Qi. They treat abnormal discharge of the essential substances of the body through excessive sweating, vomiting, urination, spermatorrhea and diarrhea. They can also treat abnormal consumption of the Qi from excessive coughing, shortness of breath, asthma and palpitations. They are sometimes used to stabilize the structure of organs and keep them from slipping from their proper positions in the condition of Qi deficiency, such as seen in prolapse of the rectum or uterus.
