Patient's question:
I've been feeling down recently. As I'm getting older, I've also started to develop a fear of sex, and I'm not interested in having sex with my wife either. Is this a sign of sexual dysfunction? What are the ways to prevent sexual dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
In traditional Chinese medicine, sexual activity is believed to be very draining to the kidney essence. Long-term sexual activity can easily lead to kidney deficiency. If you are experiencing these sexual dysfunction symptoms, it is likely closely related to kidney deficiency caused by prolonged sexual activity. It is recommended that you consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment based on your specific condition. In your daily life, focus on exercise to invigorate yang energy, eat more plant-based foods, reduce meat consumption, and avoid overworking. For male patients, timely treatment can help reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and targeted treatment, and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
