Chapter 468
Uesugi Sadanori was quickly taken by Uesugi Muneyuki to the VIP channel secret facility of the University of Tokyo Hospital, after all, his grandfather's connections and relationships at the University of Tokyo were still strong; if he hadn't participated in the "All-Campus Joint Struggle Committee" back then, Uesugi Kuninori could have easily secured a department head position.
The University of Tokyo Hospital naturally provided Uesugi Sadanori with a private passage and VIP ward; despite his brother's extreme reluctance, he agreed to undergo a full examination under the dual pressure of the head of the house and his younger brother.
Because this matter involved something very private and difficult to speak of, only Uesugi Muneyuki and Uesugi Kuninori came; Uesugi Muneyuki originally wanted to say that arriving late wouldn't count as absenteeism, but in such a situation, he had no choice but to take a day off.
He simply told his grandfather what had happened.
In short, your brother's first half of life was too strictly controlled by you all, he was infused with too much, demanded too much, leading to extreme restraint and repression during his minority, living like an absolute heir of a scholarly family, never having experienced the taste of women, and his three little companions were also thinking of him, wanting to take him to "try some meat," but since he had never been exposed to such things before, suddenly encountering them now, and right away it was the high-end call girl in the nightclub with perfume, smoke, alcohol, lipstick, and powder overwhelming him, directly causing Uesugi Sadanori to develop PTSD.
Moreover, he himself already had a hidden condition of sexual aversion, and at home there was intense pressure to marry and have children; after finally choosing someone still acceptable, something like that happened again at the wedding, causing the head of the house to collapse on the spot, all of which brought immense psychological pressure to Uesugi Sadanori; as previously mentioned, Uesugi Muneyuki was promoted to the University of Tokyo relying on his exceptional business ability, and no one in all of Japan dares say his professional ability is lacking, but Uesugi Sadanori is different; the History Department behind him has considerable reservations about his behavior of entering the University of Tokyo through aristocratic connections.
Grandfather and grandson waited, every minute and every second feeling like they were being fried in a boiling oil pot; Uesugi Kuninori's gaze was fiery, the expensive incense in the VIP waiting room could not dispel the gloom in his heart, he repeatedly rubbed the Buddhist beads on his wrist, the names of ancestors from past generations, at this moment seemed to turn into silent questions.
Why must we rush to send out Snow Pine?
Why can't we wait a little longer?
Why is the difference between Snow Pine and Chitokumaru so great? One has excessive energy, the other suppresses himself sexually to such an extreme degree?
Can't Snow Pine give a little to his older brother?
Thinking back to this morning when I saw Minami's face and Eirina's face glowing with charm and allure, my grandfather's heart felt great pain.
A well-fed daughter-in-law doesn't know the hunger of a starving daughter-in-law; a starving daughter-in-law doesn't know the emptiness of a well-fed daughter-in-law!
Registration and initial consultation with scale evaluation, as one of the top ten hospitals in the world, the University of Tokyo Hospital had experienced professors who made a judgment on the spot.
Vegetative nervous disorder! (Autonomic nervous system dysfunction)
The Self-Rating Anxiety Scale SAS, Self-Rating Depression Scale SDS, and Autonomic Nervous System Symptom Scale were immediately arranged for, followed by blood tests,
electrocardiogram, and conducting heart rate variability analysis and other core examinations.
Consultation, scales, electrocardiogram, HRV preliminary report.
When the afternoon approached dusk, the results finally came out.
Finally, the results came out; the University of Tokyo internal medicine professor in a white coat had a calm expression, even carrying a hint of professional regret, and handed him a detailed examination report.
"Professor Uesugi, your grandson Uesugi Sadanori's body—has no organic lesions." The doctor's words were clear and calm, "His reproductive system functions completely normally."
Uesugi Kuninori's heart sank sharply, then a glimmer of faint hope rose: "Then—then why is that?"
"The problem lies here," the doctor pointed to the complex neuroelectrogram and assessment results on the report, "We detected that Uesugi Sadanori suffers from severe vegetative nervous function disorder, that is, autonomic nervous system dysfunction. His sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves are in a long-term, abnormal state of tension and imbalance, leading to a series of physiological and psychological symptoms, including extreme fatigue, anxiety, sleep disorders? and, very severe functional dysfunction, specifically in sexual function, which is a complete state of inhibition."
"Vegetative nervous—disorder?" Uesugi Kuninori murmured repeatedly; this medical term was both familiar and unfamiliar to him, yet at this moment it felt like an icy bolt.
"Yes. The root of this disorder, indeed as Muneyuki-kun revealed, is related to some unpleasant traumatic events involving women during his adolescence, forming deep psychological shadows. This shadow, in adulthood, especially under the immense pressure of marriage and intimate relationships, is strongly triggered. Added to his previous high-intensity work state in school,
immense mental pressure and long-term overexertion, like pouring oil on fire, pushed this nervous disorder to an extremely severe degree."
"Can it be cured?" Uesugi Kuninori's voice trembled with a shaking he himself hadn't noticed; he stared intently at the doctor's eyes, as if that were the only lifeline.
The professor fell silent for a moment; those few short seconds felt to Uesugi Kuninori like an eternity; finally, the professor slowly spoke, heavy with regret:
"Kuninori-san, we will certainly do our utmost to intervene, including medication adjustment, neuromodulation treatment, and deep psychological counseling. But—" the internal medicine professor paused, choosing his words carefully: "This severe autonomic nervous system dysfunction, induced by deep psychological trauma superimposed on long-term high-pressure environment, has a very complex pathological mechanism; the treatment process will be quite lengthy, and moreover—it is difficult to guarantee complete and thorough cure, restoring him to his ideal state. This requires time, requires Uesugi Sadanori himself to have extremely strong willpower to cooperate, and also requires" some element of luck."
"Very difficult—completely cure———" these few words, like cold iron hammers, struck again and again, heavily pounding on Uesugi Kuninori's chest. The light report in his hand instantly became heavier than a thousand jin.
It's not a matter of orientation, not a physical defect, but an invisible, entwining lock deep in the nerves! A shadow from the past, a cage reinforced by present reality! The authoritative diagnosis of the University of Tokyo Hospital almost pronounced a death sentence on his hope of holding a great-grandson. Not "cannot," but "extremely difficult"; this despair mixed with faint hope is more suffocating than a direct pronouncement.
Uesugi Kuninori felt a wave of intense dizziness, his vision darkened, he could barely stand; the heavy tomes in the study symbolizing wisdom and inheritance, the ancient objects representing family glory, now all became blurred background. His carefully planned future—four generations under one roof, continuous bloodline, the Uesugi family having successors—just as in the doctor's regretful pronouncement, like a sandcastle blown apart by a wild wind, instantly collapsed and vanished.
Uesugi Muneyuki hurriedly supported his grandfather, but could not support his soul.
A bone-chilling cold despair spread rapidly from the soles of his feet to his entire body, freezing his blood, numbing his nerves; Uesugi Kuninori's 74 years of life, his waving of the command baton on the University of Tokyo podium, his commanding presence in the long river of history, now all appeared so pale and powerless.
"Can't we consider doing in vitro fertilization? Professor, you didn't say brother's body has no functional deficiency?" Uesugi Muneyuki hurriedly said.
"In this situation, wanting to do IVF (in vitro fertilization)"—almost impossible." The University of Tokyo professor naturally thought of this; the obstetrics professor in charge of the consultation added.
He briefly explained why.
To do in vitro fertilization, sperm extraction is needed, and the greatest difficulty of IVF sperm extraction lies here due to the severe sexual inhibition caused by vegetative nervous disorder; in short, it's like a deer!
But Uesugi Sadanori originally had severe sexual inhibition; in this environment, the success rate of sperm extraction is nearly zero, and it might even worsen the condition.
Besides, there is vibratory stimulation and electrical stimulation, but this also follows the same logic as above; for someone like him whose sexual inhibition and PTSD stem from trauma, such mechanical contact could equally trigger strong psychological rejection and physiological discomfort, with extremely low success rate.
Of course, the University of Tokyo is after all the University of Tokyo; besides this, there is still the last resort.
Percutaneous sperm extraction surgery.
But the University of Tokyo professors discussed it and deemed it unfeasible; first, the surgery itself remains an invasive operation, possibly causing him great psychological pressure and anxiety, exacerbating his vegetative nervous disorder symptoms.
Second, severe, long-term psychological pressure and vegetative nervous disorder have already severely affected Uesugi Sadanori's endocrine system; under these conditions, the quality of extracted sperm can almost certainly be deemed poor, and in vitro fertilization is a tremendous physical and mental trial for women; if it cannot be completed quickly, the couple will still suffer a major blow.
This is not merely "a bit difficult," but a nearly unsolvable problem stemming from the very nature of his condition.
"Before Uesugi Sadanori's psychological trauma and vegetative nervous function show significant improvement, at least enough to endure the sperm extraction procedure, we do not recommend initiating an IVF cycle, because the risk of failure is extremely high, and it may cause further psychological harm to the patient." The professional team of the University of Tokyo Hospital said this.
"Before Mr. Uesugi Sadanori's psychological trauma and autonomic nervous system function show significant improvement, at least to the point of being able to tolerate the sperm retrieval procedure, initiating an in vitro fertilization cycle is not recommended, as the risk of failure is extremely high and may cause further psychological harm to the patient," said the professional team at the University of Tokyo Hospital.
Until he looked at Uesugi Muneyuki, in an instant, the old man's cloudy eyes burst forth with an incredible light, his withered body seeming to be injected with a shot of adrenaline!
"Snow Pine!!!" The old man fiercely grabbed Uesugi Muneyuki's wrist, with great force, wild as if mad: "My Snow Pine ah ah ah ah!"
"Do you know? You are, the last of the Uesugi!"
"Family name, must, guard it ah ah ah!!!!!!!!"
"Family Name, you must, hold on Ahhh!!"
