Patient's question:
Erectile dysfunction with insufficient hardness, previously treated for chronic prostatitis, with short duration. I have symptoms of night sweats and mild lower back pain. I wonder if it's kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency. Can I take Kou Fu Wuzi Yanzong Wan? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
The patient has a high possibility of suffering from kidney Yang deficiency or Qi deficiency. The Wuzi Yanzong Wan is primarily used for kidney Yin deficiency. It is recommended that the patient consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for a systematic examination. Through the four diagnostic methods (inspection, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation), the doctor can recommend the appropriate medication under their supervision.For patients with severe prostatitis, it is advised to seek medical attention promptly. Treatment should be based on the doctor's recommendations to ensure timely and effective care. Avoid self-medication, as it may worsen the condition and cause harm to the patient.
