Patient's question:
I have always had a normal sex life, but recently I've noticed a decrease in libido. Sometimes it's even difficult to get an erection. I've tried many methods, but none have worked. My friend mentioned that this situation might be premature ejaculation. I want to know about the medications to treat premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of male premature ejaculation and its symptoms is often caused by indulgence in sexual activity or youthful mistakes in intercourse, leading to the decline of the life gate fire and the deficiency of essence and cold qi; or by overthinking and melancholy, damaging the heart and spleen; or due to fear damaging the kidneys. There are also cases where damp-heat descends, causing the sinews to relax and wither. However, the primary cause is the decline of kidney yang, leading to withering.Kidney yang is the root of the body's yang qi, responsible for warming the body, transforming fluids, and promoting growth and development. When kidney yang declines, its function of warming is lost, and its power of transformation is impaired. As a result, symptoms such as aversion to cold, limbs feeling cold, and reduced sexual function may occur. Therefore, men with premature ejaculation may experience inability to achieve or maintain an erection, accompanied by dizziness and blurred vision.
