Patient's question:
The foreskin is sensitive to friction, and any friction makes it lose hardness and causes pain. Even when showering and rinsing the head of the penis with water, it becomes painful and loses hardness. I have been having sex for about 8 years. Is this a result of reduced sensitivity to the head of the penis caused by sexual activity? If this condition is caused by sexual activity, will it gradually heal if I stop having sex?Doctor's answer:
Frequent and prolonged sexual activity can lead to excessive loss of kidney essence, resulting in kidney deficiency, which may interfere with premature ejaculation and other conditions. It can also easily reduce the sensitivity of the glans, affecting future sexual life. It is recommended that you take the Chinese herbal medicine Shen Qi Wan to tonify the kidneys and invigorate yang, alleviate kidney deficiency, and completely abstain from sexual activity. Male diseases can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and maintain a light diet, avoiding stimulating foods, smoking, and drinking beer.
