Patient's question:
I'm only in my mid-20s, but I've noticed that I don't have morning erections anymore. Recently, when I've been masturbating, I've realized that I simply can't get an erection anymore. What's going on here? Is this erectile dysfunction? It's terrifying. Could a short sexual duration also be a symptom of erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation are generally caused by kidney yang deficiency. This can be due to inherent yang deficiency, physical weakness that damages the kidneys, or excessive sexual activity. In some cases, herbal remedies that tonify kidney yang can be used. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical treatment at a hospital as soon as possible. In daily life, you can steep goji berries in tea, and consume foods like chives, beef, and lamb for dietary support. Practicing Kegel exercises can also help with recovery. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible to receive targeted treatment and recover quickly.
