Patient's question:
I'm usually quite busy with work and feel very tired physically. Recently, during sexual intercourse with my wife, I discovered that I couldn't get an erection, which has also affected our marital relationship. I really feel very distressed. Could you please tell me: What are the common harms that impotence usually causes?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is inferred that your main symptoms are impotence and premature ejaculation. This condition may be related to your long-term sexual activity, or it could be caused by conditions such as prostatitis, glans sensitivity, or kidney qi deficiency. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a comprehensive and thorough examination, including a prostatic fluid test and color Doppler ultrasound. If prostatitis is detected, oral cephalosporin drugs and levofloxacin tablets can be used for anti-inflammatory treatment. If there are no abnormalities, it is advised to consult a traditional Chinese medicine department for follow-up. If kidney qi deficiency is diagnosed, Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan should be taken for treatment. In daily life, it is recommended to abstain from sexual activity and consider undergoing a circumcision procedure. Premature ejaculation can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor, appropriate medication, and avoiding prolonged sitting or riding are essential. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene and hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible.
