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 main hazards of impotence?Doctor's answer:
The causes of impotence and premature ejaculation are numerous, including kidney deficiency, prostate problems, abnormal excretion of sexual hormones, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, psychological factors, long-term overwork, excessive stress, and long hours of overtime, all of which may lead to impotence and premature ejaculation. It is recommended to have a thorough examination at the hospital for blood pressure, blood sugar, and six hormone excretion tests, as well as a routine examination of prostatic fluid to identify the underlying causes. After determining the cause, targeted medication can be prescribed. If the issue is kidney deficiency, treatment to replenish the kidneys may be necessary. If blood pressure or blood sugar is excessively high, medication must be used to control the levels. If there is abnormal hormone excretion, hormone medications may be required. For prostate diseases, traditional Chinese medicine that clears heat, detoxifies, and promotes diuresis can be used.
