Patient's question:
Difficulty in achieving an erection during sexual activity, even if an erection is achieved, it quickly leads to ejaculation. This has been going on for about half a year. Work pressure is relatively high, and for the past half year, I have been running on a treadmill for 1 hour after dinner every night. I wonder if this is related? I am 53 years old this year, and I have a strong desire for sexual activity, but the inability to get an erection is very distressing. What should I do if I cannot achieve an erection or if my erection duration is too short?Doctor's answer:
Considering the kidney deficiency you have, which has led to a lack of firmness in your penis due to insufficient kidney qi, it is recommended that you take oral Wuzi Yanzong Wan and Shenqi Wan to nourish the kidneys and treat the condition. Eating foods that nourish the kidneys, such as black rice, black beans, and black sesame seeds, can help alleviate the issue. However, the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, patients should take medication in accordance with their symptoms promptly and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting. Additionally, it is important to prevent overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene in daily life.
