〔摘要〕 男性少弱精子症是导致男性不育最重要的原因,严重危害男性生殖健康。《素问·阴阳应象大论》曰:“壮火散气,少火生气。”“少火生气”可以理解为人体生理之火是温煦推动脏腑功能的原动力,本文基于“少火生气”理论,认为若肾阳亏虚,命门火衰,“少火生气”功能不足,则必然导致人体生殖机能减退,发为少弱精子症,在治疗时亦谨遵“少火生气”,宜“阴中求阳”,鼓舞肾气,恢复“少火生气”功能,达到治疗少弱精子症目的。

〔Abstract〕 Male oligoasthenospermia is the most important cause of male infertility, which seriously endangers male reproductive health. In Major Discussion on the Theory of Yin and Yang and the Corresponding Relationships Among All the Things in Nature, Plain Conversation, "Strong fire disperses Qi while mild fire supplements Qi." "Mild fire supplements Qi" can be understood as the fire of human physiology is a motive force of the warm glow to push viscera function. Based on the theory of "mild fire supplements Qi", this paper thought that the kidney Yang deficiency, decline of vital gate fire, insufficient function of "mild fire supplements Qi" will definitely lead to human reproductive hypofunction and oligoasthenospermia. Following the theory of "mild fire supplements Qi", the treatment should "reinforce Yang from Yin", encourage kidney Qi, and restore the function of "mild fire supplements Qi", for reaching the goal of treating oligoasthenospermia.

当代社会男性压力大、环境污染严重,对男性健康造成严重危害,使男性不育发病率逐年升高。据调查,目前男性因素导致的夫妇不孕不育占30%~40%[1],其中,男性少弱精子症是造成男性不育的主要因素[2-4]。少精子症是指男性精液中每毫升所含精子数量<15×106。弱精子症,又称精子活力低下,指男性精液中所含的前向运动精子所占百分比<32%。在男性不育患者中,少精子症与弱精子症常常并见,故常常合称为少弱精子症。中医学古籍中无“男性不育”病名,但根据其临床表现,可归属于“无子”“无嗣”等范畴。历代医家对本病有着较为深刻的见解,著作颇丰,综而观之,本病病位在肾,累及肝脾。《素问·阴阳应象大论》曰:“壮火之气衰,少火之气壮。壮火食气,气食少火。壮火散气,少火生气。”笔者提出“少火生气”功能失调与男性少弱精子症密切相关,现探析如下。
1 “少火生气”理论探析
“少火生气”语出《素问·阴阳应象大论》。历朝历代医家对“少火生气”均有着不同的理解与注释。明代马莳在《黄帝内经素问注证发微》中注曰:“气味太厚者,火之壮也。用壮火之品,则吾人之气不能当之而反衰也,如用乌、附之类,而吾人之气不能胜之,故发热。气味之温者,火之少也。用少火之品,则吾人之气渐尔生旺,血亦壮矣,如用参、归之类,而气血渐旺者是也[5]”,文中“少火生气”本意为宜使用气味温和的药物[6]。唐代王冰在《重廣补注黄帝内经素问·阴阳应象大论》中注曰:“火之壮者,壮已必衰;火之少者,少已必壮。……
