Classical view, not medical advice.
महाधनसमायुक्तो भाग्यवान् देवपूजकः ॥
He was very rich, lucky and a worshipper of the gods. His wife, wide-eyed, was known by the name Lila.
तस्यां पुत्रद्वयं जातं नापितस्य तदा प्रिये ॥
Two sons were born to the barber from her, dear one. One son was fond of gambling. The second was thought to be a thief.
परस्त्रीलम्पटो देवि नापितस्य च वै सुतः ॥
The barber's son was also, O Goddess, greedy for other men's wives. The wife of the eldest son was loose and very beautiful.
