Patient's question:
When having sex with my wife, I always cannot get an erection, but if I touch and massage myself, I will get an erection. Is this a sexual dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
This condition is generally related to kidney deficiency and can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine formulations such as Liuwei Dihuang Wan and Jin to nourish or strengthen the essence and root. Rest is important. Consume more foods that have the effects of tonifying the kidneys and consolidating essence, such as oysters, walnuts, chestnuts, soft-shell turtle, clams, pigeon eggs, and pig kidneys. For male patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
