Guidance on using TCM herbal medicine or traditional Chinese medicine preparations for treatment.

Doctor's answer:

Hyperlipidemia is divided into five types: hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, mixed type, cholesterol-lowering based, and triglyceride-lowering based.
Guidance: Medication for these five types differs, and it is essential to first identify the type of hyperlipidemia before treatment. For Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Chinese herbal medicine therapy, it can serve as supplementary treatment. However, this approach is very slow-acting and requires long-term oral administration, with unstable efficacy. Generally, Western medicine remains the foundation, while Chinese medicine offers some treatment methods for premature ejaculation. However, since patient symptoms vary, the treatment methods differ accordingly. Therefore, patients need timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive targeted treatment.
