Patient's question:
I seem to be unable to get an erection, and when I do, it's not hard. It's a bit difficult for me to get hard even when I try on my own, unless I watch a lot of porn. I've been having sex for two years, but now I basically stopped. My hands and feet are cold, and my waist is a bit sore. I want to ask, is there any method that can help me return to normal?Doctor's answer:
Having early ejaculation in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it is classified as a declining fire of the Mingmen (Life Gate) syndrome, deficiency of kidney Yang, declining fire of the Mingmen. Therefore, sexual desire is low. The kidneys govern warmth, so there is aversion to cold. Kidney deficiency cannot govern the bones, hence lower back pain. It is recommended to warm and tonify kidney Yang, using modified Huan Shao Dan (Replenishing the Young). Dietary supplements can include cinnamon powder 1~2g, glutinous rice 100g. First, cook the rice into congee in a clay pot, then add the cinnamon powder. Warmly consume once in the morning and once in the evening. Honey can be added for flavoring. Impotence often recurs, requiring long-term medication treatment. Moreover, for male patients, it is essential to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results.
