Patient's question:
I am 22 years old. I started masturbating when I was 17 and did it quite frequently. Recently, my family introduced me to a partner, and everything seemed fine, except that I realized I might have premature ejaculation. I think it might be due to my past masturbation habits. I am really suffering now. How can I deal with cold hands and feet and persistent premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that cold hands and feet, as well as limb coldness, are symptoms of spleen and kidney yang deficiency. When yang qi is deficient, it fails to provide warmth and raise energy within the body, preventing the blood from reaching the limbs, which results in cold hands and feet. The symptoms can be stabilized through medication or dietary therapy. It is recommended to consume more warming foods such as ginseng, lamb, chicken, walnuts, and sea cucumber. Avoid foods with cold properties that can harm yang qi. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions. This will ensure targeted treatment and prompt recovery.
