Patient's question:
I've been married for five years now, and I don't feel much passion for sex anymore. After my wife gave birth to a child, her vagina became looser, and sex no longer brings pleasure—it's just a routine. Before, we had sex about once a month. I wonder if it's because I've lacked desire for so long that I feel my sexual ability has declined. I often orgasm in just two minutes—is that considered premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
You are experiencing sexual dysfunction again, and premature ejaculation has reappeared as well. This is likely related to excessive psychological stress or over-masturbation. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes this is a recurrence of kidney yang deficiency, and at this time, it may be appropriate to take tonifying yang and nourishing kidney herbs for treatment. Commonly used herbs include Wuzi Yanzong Wan and Shenbao Pian. Do not take these herbs when you have a cold or fever, and medication should be taken under the guidance of a local doctor. For premature ejaculation patients, timely treatment can reduce the frequency of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
