Patient's question:
I am a male, 22 years old, and have had a history of masturbation for 6 years. Recently, I just started dating a girlfriend, and 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?Question: How can erectile dysfunction caused by excessive masturbation over a long period be treated?
Doctor's answer:
According to your situation, you have frequent sexual activity, and currently experiencing impotence and premature ejaculation, which are considered to be caused by severe deficiency of the kidney meridian due to sexual activity. The premise is to abstain from or reduce the frequency of sexual activity, and take oral herbal medicine to replenish the kidney and boost qi. You can also soak goji berries in tea, supplement with food such as chives, beef, and mutton. It is helpful to practice kegel exercises for recovery. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to seek systematic and standardized examination in a reputable Grade-A hospital as soon as possible according to their own condition to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain regular routines, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water daily.
