Patient's question:
Everything else about my body is normal. It's just that my sexual function has issues. Recently, I've experienced a recurrence of low libido over the past two years. Difficulty in getting erect, lack of firmness, short duration, and occasionally, premature ejaculation. About my past treatment and its effectiveness: I've had two prostate examinations, and the doctors said there were no major problems. I've also taken some medications for this, but they had minimal effect...What kind of assistance I'm seeking: I saw an advertisement for a product called "Tortoise and Deer Two Immortals Cream" on TV. It's a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) guardian product, claiming to be an effective treatment for this condition.
Could you please tell me how effective the "Tortoise and Deer Two Immortals Cream" is for sexual dysfunction? Does it have any side effects?
Doctor's answer:
In traditional Chinese medicine, there is a formula called Guī Lù èr Xiān Jiāo, which has the functions of nourishing yin, replenishing essence, invigorating qi, and strengthening yang. It is suitable for conditions such as soreness and weakness in the waist and knees, emaciation, blurred vision, premature ejaculation, and spermatorrhea caused by depletion of true essence and insufficient Jing-blood. Your condition may be due to kidney deficiency, where the kidney's essence gate is not firm, leading to premature ejaculation, frequent ejaculation, and low libido.Recommendations: Maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid cold, greasy, and irritating foods, and always keep a relaxed and cheerful mood. Have in sexual activity and engage in sufficient physical activity. If you smoke or drink alcohol, it is best to quit.
