Patient's question:
In the past few days, I've had frequent nocturnal emissions—twice in four days. It seems like some kidney deficiency, with flushed cheeks, cold hands and feet, and mild impotence and premature ejaculation (I'm not sure if it has improved since I used to have sexual activity history). Recently, I've been taking Guifuzhi Huangwan Pills. After nocturnal emissions, I feel pain when urinating—is this due to kidney deficiency? Is it Yin deficiency or Yang deficiency? What medicine should I switch to? I have frequent nocturnal emissions—twice in four days—what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Emission often involves a condition of yin and yang deficiency. Consuming Gui Jiang Di Huang Wan may potentially lead to the resurgence of deficiency fire. The reason lies in the difficulty of restoring true yin and the ease with which deficiency fire rises. It is recommended to try consuming a bit of Yin Huo Yuan Qi Wei Di Huang Wan. Alternatively, one could take Liu Wei Di Huang Wan.Doctor's Advice: Emission can be cured. However, the treatment period is generally long. Moreover, the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan.
Additionally, the patient should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer.
