Patient's question:
My sexual dysfunction began about half a year ago. My penis has been having difficulty getting erect, sometimes softening within less than thirty seconds of getting hard. Our sexual life has been very difficult, which makes me feel extremely self-conscious. I don't know what to do in my situation to fully recover. If this continues, our relationship will also deteriorate. How should this be treated?Doctor's answer:
Sexual dysfunction is primarily related to the kidneys, and acupuncture can correct abnormalities in kidney function through the efficacy of meridians, used to treat sexual disorders such as premature ejaculation and nocturnal emissions. A strong psychological constitution is important, as individuals with this condition often experience significant stress, which can hinder recovery if the pressure is too high. Maintaining a calm and balanced mindset is essential for self-healing. For male patients, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence, whereas delayed treatment may negatively impact overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and targeted treatment, and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
