Patient's question:
The past two years could have been endured for a long time, but since the child was born, due to feeding the child at night and insufficient sleep, I've been quite exhausted. Now, during sexual activity, it takes about a minute before I can't continue, severe premature ejaculation. It feels very embarrassing. Is this symptom caused by kidney yin deficiency? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Generally, conditions of insufficient kidney essence and insufficient kidney yin may lead to premature ejaculation, but premature ejaculation could also be caused by insufficient kidney yang. The specific diagnosis depends on the individual's condition. Since the kidneys govern reproduction and the recurrence of sexual quality decline can be attributed to the kidneys, it is advisable to consider treatment from the perspective of the kidneys. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can use Chinese herbal medicines to nourish yin and tonify the kidneys or to warm yang and tonify the kidneys for regulation. Acupuncture treatment can also be combined. On a daily basis, appropriate physical exercise and control of sexual habits should be maintained, and excessive exertion should be avoided. Premature ejaculation can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used according to the specific symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
