Patient's question:
I have been suffering from kidney deficiency for many years, and it seems like I have recently developed ED (Erectile Dysfunction). My erection is not firm during sexual activity. What should I do about a weak erection due to kidney deficiency?Doctor's answer:
TCM conditioning requires first distinguishing between deficiency/excess, cold/hot. Your condition is quite complex. It is not just about insufficient kidney yang. Kidney yin is also deficient, and it is necessary to identify the primary and secondary issues. The situation is based on yin deficiency and internal heat. Insomnia, frequent dreams, afternoon feverishness, and sore waist and knees all prove this point. You can try switching to Liuwei Dihuang Wan to see if it helps alleviate the issue. Erection problems can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow. Moreover, it is easy to relapse after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay more attention to personal hygiene.
