Patient's question:
I am 47 years old this year, and I usually work quite busy. I also feel very tired physically. Recently, when having sex with my wife, I found that I couldn't get an erection. As a result, our marital relationship has also been affected. I really feel very distressed. Please ask: Can impotence and premature ejaculation be treated and restored by traditional Chinese medicine?Doctor's answer:
Excessive bad habits at this time may potentially lead to sexual dysfunction such as impotence and premature ejaculation. We must firmly give them up, engage in more outdoor activities to enhance physical fitness, and can be supplemented with oral medications for treatment. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment is relatively effective. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to go to regular tertiary hospitals for systematic and standardized examinations based on their own conditions as soon as possible to achieve symptomatic treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink more hot water daily.
