Patient's question:
Married, always had problems with sexual intercourse, and it hasn't felt wrong yet when it started, but recently there has been frequent urination, not sure if it's because of sexual intercourse. Want to quit this bad habit, but then nocturnal emissions often occur again at night. What's going on? How can it be resolved?Doctor's answer:
There are many causes of premature ejaculation. Western medicine often attributes it to conditions such as phimosis, excessive foreskin, urethritis, and prostate diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine commonly links it to kidney deficiency, weak jingguan (essence gate), or unbalanced heart-kidney relationship, or due to damp-heat accumulation. Since the causes differ, the treatment approaches will vary greatly. It is advised not to take medication blindly, as this may worsen the condition and make treatment more difficult. For patients with premature ejaculation, timely treatment can reduce the frequency of episodes. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and targeted treatment, and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting.
