Patient's question:
During this period, the work pressure has been particularly high, and the frequency of intimacy with my wife has also been very low. Last night when we had intimacy with my wife, I kept being unable to get erect, which made my wife very unhappy. Am I experiencing sexual dysfunction again? How should I alleviate this situation if it occurs again?Doctor's answer:
Patients with sexual dysfunction, particularly those with erectile dysfunction, often exhibit flushed faces, robust physiques, loud voices, and no discomfort in the waist or legs. They also frequently suffer from constipation and, at times, even experience fresh blood in their stools. The pulse is (strong and rapid), with a red tongue and yellow, greasy coating. Clearly, the condition is due to internal excess heat and a robust constitution—how could one then use warming and tonifying herbs? Upon further inquiry, it becomes clear that the patient is not unable to achieve an erection but rather reaches orgasm within less than two minutes during sexual activity, with no sensation of penetration into the vagina.
