Patient's question:
I have been experiencing long-term sexual activity, and now I have impotence, premature ejaculation, difficulty maintaining an erection, and a hard but not erect penis, along with prostatitis, acne, and very poor intimate life with my wife, often leading to arguments. Could Elder Li, the traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, please advise me on what herbal formulas to use based on my condition? Thank you in advance for the guidance, especially regarding the dosage. How should I address impotence, premature ejaculation, and prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
According to your condition, it should be a deficiency of kidney qi and damp-heat accumulation in the lower body, which is caused by increased hormone excretion leading to inhibition of the central nervous system. Depending on individual circumstances, the desire for sexual activity can weaken at different rates. You can eat more fruits and vegetables, especially foods rich in vitamin B1, which can help maintain the balance between excitation and inhibition of the nervous system. When necessary, you can supplement with endurance-enhancing products to prolong performance, and in daily life, it's important to avoid overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene.
