Patient's question:
With a long history of masturbation and having taken aphrodisiacs, my wife and I now both want to have a child. Do aphrodisiacs affect sperm quality?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you are currently describing, it is more likely related to the habit of masturbation, which may have damaged the corpora cavernosa of the penis, leading to this issue of poor hardness. Long-term oral intake of these aphrodisiac drugs can have a certain negative impact on semen quality. It is recommended that you visit a professional traditional Chinese medicine hospital and consult a TCM practitioner for pulse-taking. By combining your tongue and pulse, they can prescribe herbs that nourish essence, replenish marrow, boost qi, and strengthen the fundamental body to regulate your condition. This approach is more targeted. The habit of masturbation must be completely avoided.
