Patient's question:
I am 22 years old. I started masturbating at the age of 16 and continued quite frequently. Recently, my family introduced me to a partner, and everything seems fine, except that I've noticed I might have premature ejaculation. I think it might be due to my past masturbation habits. I am really suffering now. Could you please advise some effective tips to help with premature ejaculation treatment?Doctor's answer:
Ejaculation is quick occasionally with occasional nocturnal emissions, which is generally due to kidney deficiency and a weak essence gate. It can be managed through dietary and lifestyle adjustments, consuming foods that tonify the kidneys and replenish essence, ensuring adequate nutrition and sufficient zinc intake. Herbal tonics for the kidneys can be used, and it is recommended to consult a urologist at a local regular hospital for follow-up if necessary. Generally, it is important to avoid frequent sexual stimulation, enhance nutrition with sufficient zinc intake, and consume foods such as goat kidneys, soft-shell turtle, and oysters. Moderate exercise can also help strengthen the body, and herbal tonics like Jin Suo Gu Jing Wan can be used for observation. For patients with rapid ejaculation, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely medication and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
