Patient's question:
I have had the habit of sexual intercourse since I was young. My sexual life lasts less than a minute, and I have severe acne with a slight protrusion in the front. When I wash my face, my gums bleed, and sometimes I often have nosebleeds. I often sigh, have nightmares at night, and have poor sleep. My waist feels tired, and sometimes I suppress my anger with a sense of helplessness. My urine drips, and I feel weak. Is this a symptom of kidney yin deficiency or yang deficiency?Doctor's answer:
You have the habit of sexual intercourse, which is equivalent to excessive sexual exertion in traditional Chinese medicine. This habit will damage the essence of the kidneys and may lead to additional symptoms. Insufficient kidney essence may result in symptoms such as decreased libido, impotence, or other perinatal-related symptoms, as well as fatigue, acne, and other symptoms of insufficient qi and blood. Once you change this unhealthy habit, you may improve. Premature ejaculation is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, for male patients, it is important to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination.
