Patient's question:
The work pressure has been particularly high recently, and the frequency of intimacy with my wife has also been very low. Last night when we had intimacy, I kept getting soft, 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 are particularly characterized by erectile dysfunction. The patients appear flushed, robust in physique, with a loud voice, and without discomfort in the waist or legs. They also experience frequent constipation, and even reappear with bright red blood in their stools. The pulse diagnosis reveals a (hong shu) pulse, with red tongue and thick, yellow, greasy coating. Clearly, the condition is due to internal excess heat and a robust physique—how could one then use warming and tonifying herbs? Upon further inquiry, it turns out that the patient is not unable to achieve an erection, but rather that he reaches orgasm within less than two minutes during sexual activity, and has never experienced the sensation of penetration into the vagina.
