Patient's question:
Erectile dysfunction (ED) with insufficient rigidity, except for premature ejaculation during sexual activity, has been frequent intercourse within one minute in the past two years, with infrequent sexual activity in recent years. The doctor has prescribed Six Flavor Rehmannia Pill, Compound Xuanju Pill, and Shenrong Bian Pill. Additionally, Six Flavor Rehmannia Pill and Wuzi Yanzong Pill have been used, along with many other tonics for the kidneys, but without effect. What should be done about both ED with insufficient rigidity and premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation are related to kidney deficiency, prostatitis, emotional tension, excessive liver and heart fire, and sensitive glans nerves. It is recommended to consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for syndrome differentiation and treatment using Chinese herbal medicine. In daily life, dietary therapy should be emphasized, and appropriate consumption of foods such as animal penises, deer meat, and sea cucumbers can be considered. Abstain from sexual activity, engage in moderate physical exercise, and avoid psychological stress. Erections can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow and prone to recurrence after recovery. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and follow a balanced diet during the treatment period.
