Patient's question:
I am a male with a history of masturbation. I recently started dating a girlfriend, and during sexual activity, I found that I simply cannot get an erection, and even when I do, it doesn't last very long. Is my current condition considered erectile dysfunction (ED)? Please ask: How is erectile dysfunction treated?Doctor's answer:
Based on your symptoms, this is mainly caused by excessive sexual activity in the past, leading to impotence, premature ejaculation, kidney deficiency, severe depletion of kidney essence, and insufficient Jing Qi. It is recommended that you abstain from sexual activity, engage in appropriate physical exercise, ensure sufficient deep sleep, and take medications such as Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan and Shen Bao Pian for treatment. Consuming foods that tonify the kidneys and boost Yang, such as drinking goji berry tea or eating animal kidneys, can also be beneficial. For premature ejaculation patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment and maintain a regular sexual life in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
