Patient's question:
I want to treat sexual dysfunction through Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and don't want to go to the hospital to take medicine or receive intravenous drips. Can TCM treat sexual dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
Sexual dysfunction is often caused by damage to the heart and spleen and the decline of the life gate fire. Since this condition represents only a small part of the overall physiological decline in elderly individuals, older adults should, in addition to increasing physical activity, maintaining a positive mindset, and eliminating unhealthy habits, focus on dietary regulation to slow down the process of physiological decline. The condition in males tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, male patients should seek immediate treatment at professional and reputable hospitals, with treatment decisions based on examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking and pay attention to personal hygiene.
