Patient's question:
Recently, the quality of my sexual life has declined. Every time we have sex, I have difficulty maintaining an erection. My wife said it's because I eat too much celery. Does eating too much celery cause a weak erection?Doctor's answer:
Eating more celery does not have a scientific basis for causing weak penile erection. This condition may be a symptom resulting from the deficiency of kidney qi. In daily life, it is important to enhance nutrition, implement adjustments, and suppress symptoms. Consuming dark-colored foods, such as black sesame seeds, black fungus, and other foods, can help regulate kidney function. If necessary, it is advisable to consult a traditional Chinese medicine physician and use medications to adjust kidney function for a period of time, which can gradually improve. Weak penile erection can be alleviated, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medications appropriately, and avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
