Patient's question:
I am 58 years old this year. Recently, I have been experiencing impotence and premature ejaculation. I don't know if this is prostatitis. How should it be treated? How should impotence and premature ejaculation in middle-aged and elderly people be treated?Doctor's answer:
I. If premature ejaculation is caused by excessive overthinking, leading to the consumption of kidney yin by heart fire, then one should choose herbs that clear the heart and nourish the kidneys. These can regulate insufficient qi and blood, and have a very effective therapeutic effect on impotence and premature ejaculation. If one blindly takes herbs that tonify the kidneys and boost yang, it will obviously have the opposite effect and worsen the condition.

If premature ejaculation is due to overeating greasy and rich foods, excessive smoking, and drinking, one can only use herbs that clear the damp-heat of the liver and gallbladder.

III. If premature ejaculation is caused by mental tension or the side effects of certain medications, there is no need to take any herbs that tonify the kidneys. Once the state of tension is relieved or the relevant medications are stopped, premature ejaculation will naturally improve without treatment.
