Patient's question:
Erectile dysfunction, weak erection, not lasting long, morning erections but not hard, quickly softening after waking up, still okay during sleep, easily waking up between 4-5 a.m., unable to fall back asleep, or light sleep with frequent dreams. After 3 p.m., intermittent hot flashes, shortness of breath and chest tightness in the evening, fatigue and lack of speech, feeling short of breath when answering, especially when feeling hot, and a thick tongue with tooth marks, easily dizzy after eating greasy foods.Hello, what illness do I have? What medicine should I take for (treatment and nourishment)? Thank you very much!
Doctor's answer:
There are several reasons why the penis may not be sufficiently hard during erection, which are related to factors such as kidney yin deficiency, kidney yang deficiency, blood deficiency, blood viscosity, high blood lipid levels, blood stasis, qi deficiency, prostatitis, and emotional tension. It is recommended to consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for syndrome differentiation and treatment using Chinese herbal medicine. If the issue is due to kidney deficiency, herbal pills such as Wuzi Yanzong Wan, Shenrong San Shen Wan, Shenrong Guben Huaoshao Wan, and Haima Duo Bian Wan can be taken. For patients with weak erections, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications, whereas delayed treatment may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment, and maintain a regular lifestyle, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
