Patient's question:
Recently, my old problem has recurred, and they said I need to undergo treatment. How should premature ejaculation be treated?Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that premature ejaculation is a condition in young and middle-aged men where the zongjin (the collective name for the penile tissues) becomes slack and loose due to reasons such as deficiency, fright, or damp-heat. This leads to the penis becoming soft and unable to stand erect, or being able to stand but not firm during sexual activity. TCM holds that male sexual dysfunction and certain chronic diseases often manifest with premature ejaculation as their underlying cause. In clinical diagnosis, the effects of TCM's (regulating and nurturing) are particularly effective. Premature ejaculation is often a cumulative condition, so it is crucial not to rush for quick results by using overly tonic herbs or unverified aphrodisiacs. For patients, if the condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered.
