Abstract
One case report. 68-year-old male patient. Started treatment for urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction, after being submitted to a prostatectomy due to prostate cancer. He was also using medications for control the prostate cancer (anti masculine hormones). The patient had to use special diapers on the penis to contain urine. As the patient was not satisfied with the standard treatment he was receiving in Western medicine, he searched for a TCM based treatment. He was diagnosed with Kidney-Yang deficiency. Treatment was started with Chinese dietary counselling, auricular acupuncture associated with apex ear bloodletting and moxibustion. It was performed measurement of the chakras, which resulted in no energy in any of the patients’ chakras (considering a scale of 1 to 8 in energy, all chakras were measured in 1). To replenish the energy of the chakras, it was started the use of crystal-based medications and homeopathy according to the Constitutional Homeopathy of the Five Elements based on TCM theory, developed by the author.
