Patient's question:
I used to have an erection of 10 centimeters, now it's 12 centimeters, but it's not firm. My kidney qi is insufficient. Is this caused by insufficient kidney qi? How can I restore it?Doctor's answer:
First, it's important to maintain good daily habits. Have a regular schedule and avoid overtime work. Engage in regular physical exercise, such as ball sports and ice skating, which are beneficial for the waist and kidneys. Sexual activity should be restrained—excessive frequency should be avoided to prevent exhaustion. It's also essential to cooperate with your doctor's treatment, specifically traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which will tailor herbal supplements and dietary recommendations to your specific condition.Every night, soak your feet in warm water at around 36°C for about 15 minutes, ensuring the water covers your ankles. Before bed, you can gently massage key acupoints related to male function. There are some instructional videos online that can guide you in this practice.
