Patient's question:
I have a long history of masturbation. Recently, I just started dating a girlfriend, but during sexual activity, I found that I simply cannot get erect. Even when I do, it doesn't last very long. Is my current condition considered erectile dysfunction? Please ask: Does low libido and weak erection have side effects?Doctor's answer:
Low libido, weak erection, and other symptoms are primarily considered to be caused by kidney deficiency, which is directly related to your weak constitution. These issues can be addressed through medication. Epimedium () has excellent effects in tonifying the kidneys and boosting yang, and it can be consumed by brewing it in water. It is highly effective in alleviating symptoms such as premature ejaculation caused by kidney deficiency. For those with weak erections, timely treatment can reduce the frequency of episodes. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and in daily life, avoid overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
