Patient's question:
Is it better to take Chinese medicine or Western medicine for premature ejaculation? I have this problem of premature ejaculation and want to take medicine for treatment, but I don't know whether to take Western medicine or Chinese medicine. Some people say Western medicine works faster, while others say Chinese medicine treats the root cause. Which medicine is better for treatment?Doctor's answer:
For premature ejaculation, Traditional Chinese Medicine believes it is primarily caused by kidney deficiency and insufficient kidney qi. Alternatively, it may be triggered by damp-heat accumulation in the lower body. From a Western medicine perspective, it is mainly believed to be related to local nerve issues. It is recommended that you first try taking some Chinese herbal medicine for regulation. You can visit the municipal traditional Chinese medicine hospital to get some herbal decoctions prescribed for conditioning. Engage in moderate physical exercise regularly. For severe premature ejaculation cases, it is advised to seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor's recommendations for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements for medication, as this may worsen the condition. Thank you.
