Patient's question:
I have recently encountered problems with my sex life again. Intercourse is often rushed, and I can't maintain an erection. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is a manifestation of increased sexual function, which is caused by insufficient kidney yang. The yang qi in the kidneys plays a role in maintaining normal sexual function. When it is deficient, it can lead to the manifestation of increased sexual function. Generally, it can be addressed through psychological counseling, changing sexual practices, diverting attention, and avoiding bad habits like sexual intercourse. It can also be treated with yang-tonifying and kidney-reinforcing therapies, such as taking Viagra or maca powder, which can help with rapid ejaculation and lead to recovery. However, the treatment period is usually long, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to use medications that are appropriate for the specific condition during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
