School of Chinese Medicine, Hong Kong Baptist, Hong Kong 999077, China
| Abstract: | Fangzhong includes the sexual therapy of modern medicine and the health preservation of Chinese medicine. This part has not been paid attention to, but Chinese medicine practitioners will inevitably encounter inquiries from the public. According to 132 online questionnaires of Hong Kong Chinese medicine practitioners and students, in 2018-19, nearly 60% of respondents received sexual-related health inquiries, such as improving sexual satisfaction; nearly 80% received inquiries about sexual behavior and function, such as premature ejaculation and Sexual coldness. However, only about 4% of respondents believed that they had received sufficient training to deal with inquiries, and less than 2% of respondents believed that there were sufficient courses in Hong Kong to enhance the knowledge of Chinese medicine practitioners in sexual medicine. In addition, the top three sexual medicine issues that were most consulted were "health information related to sex", "infertility", and "sexual behavior and function". Some of the content may be taught in regular courses, but there are also contents that are not covered, such as contraception, pre-marital examinations, and sexual frigidity. Chinese medicine practitioners are stakeholders in fundamental medical care and often face inquiries about sexual medicine. Enhancing the sexual medicine education of Chinese medicine practitioners, such as supplementing content in routine courses such as gynecology and internal medicine or specific lectures, to better serve the public and improve family life. |
