Patient's question:
I am a male, 22 years old, and have had a history of masturbation for 5 years. Recently, I just started dating a girlfriend, but during sexual activity, I found that I simply cannot get an erection. Even when I do get an erection, it doesn't last very long. Is my current condition considered erectile dysfunction? Please ask: How long does it take for erectile dysfunction caused by masturbation to recover?Doctor's answer:
If you have a weak constitution, kidney deficiency, and premature ejaculation caused by excessive or frequent sexual activity, you must engage in regular outdoor activities to exercise your body, significantly improve and enhance your physical fitness, relax your mind, eliminate mental concerns, build confidence, take oral herbal medicine for kidney tonification and qi replenishment, enhance your nutritional diet, and eat more lamb, yam, etc. Gradually, you will return to normal, and your fertility will also gradually recover. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable Grade III-A hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular sleep schedule, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
