Patient's question:
I usually work quite busy and feel very tired physically. Recently, when having sex with my wife, I found that I couldn't get an erection, which has also affected our marital relationship. I really feel very distressed. Please ask: How can sexual dysfunction be treated through dietary therapy?Doctor's answer:
Chinese patent medicine tonics for yang deficiency can treat premature ejaculation, with kidney yang deficiency being the most significant. Kidney yang deficiency is characterized by symptoms such as fatigue, aversion to cold, cold limbs, soreness in the lower back and knees, impotence, premature ejaculation, frequent nighttime urination, and incontinence. Tonic yang patent medicines are composed of herbs such as aconite, cinnamon, Eucommia ulmoides, Tribulus terrestris, Psoralea corylifolia, Cistanche, Asparagus cochinchinensis, and Epimedium. Examples include Gui Fu Di Huang Wan for treating kidney yang deficiency and Wu Zi Yan Zong Wan, as well as Li Zhong Wan and Nan Bao for treating spleen yang deficiency. Male diseases tend to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, male patients should seek immediate treatment at professional and reputable hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
