Patient's question:
I used to have a habit of sexual intercourse, but recently I've been experiencing lower back pain and a decrease in libido. Every time my wife asks for it, I feel weak and unable to perform, finishing it in just a few minutes. Sometimes my penis cannot get erect, which is very strange. My wife says that at my age, I don't want to have sex, and it must be that I'm having an affair outside. What medicine should I take to increase libido?Doctor's answer:
There are many causes of low libido in men, and they are complex. Overexertion, chronic illnesses, and other factors can lead to decreased libido. Nowadays, low libido is also becoming increasingly common among younger individuals, primarily due to factors such as high living and work pressures. Traditional Chinese Medicine theory believes that low libido is caused by congenital deficiencies, kidney deficiency, or the weakening of the body that damages yin. Clinical diagnoses often manifest as symptoms like soreness in the lower back and knees, neurasthenia with forgetfulness, dizziness, and lightheadedness. By nourishing the liver and kidneys, the second-generation selenium-enriched Liuwei Dihuang Pill can be taken orally for treatment.
