Patient's question:
Symptoms of prostatitis have persisted for two years, and in the past year and a half, sexual function has been very poor. The symptoms are as follows:1. The endurance of penile erection has deteriorated; the erection time is short, and it becomes soft easily. It becomes soft as soon as the hand is released, and it becomes soft before entering the partner's body.
2. There has been no morning erection for two years.
3. The urine has been consistently yellow. It turns yellow again when not drinking enough and urinating. The urine of others is not as yellow as mine.
4. The semen is yellow. After taking anti-inflammatory medication for a period of time and continuously taking tonifying kidney herbs, the doctor recently prescribed Huabao Tong Lycopene to take together. Currently, my prostatitis has not improved yet—is it still kidney deficiency?

Doctor's answer:
Hello: This situation is indeed a significant problem. Not experiencing morning erections for several years is definitely an issue. I suggest stopping the consumption of tonifying herbs, as over-treatment can exacerbate the condition. Your situation is more likely due to damp-heat stagnation rather than kidney deficiency.Advice:
1. It is recommended to visit the urology department of a hospital to have a thorough examination of prostatic fluid to assess the severity of prostatitis.
2. Find a reputable traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioner to evaluate your condition and take a course of heat-clearing and damp-drying herbal medicine.
3. Maintain a light diet, avoid spicy foods and beer, and engage in appropriate physical activity. Male health conditions tend to fluctuate, requiring long-term medication.
