Patient's question:
My baby is now eight and a half months old. Since I got pregnant, I haven't had any sexual relations with my husband. He is a soldier, and the two of us have been living in separate places. I only returned to the military on New Year's Day and have been apart from my husband for over a month, with no sexual activity. A few days ago, my husband told me he has thoughts but cannot get an erection (he does have morning erections).Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you described, this falls within the category of kidney deficiency, which may be related to insufficient kidney essence or insufficient Jing-blood, causing discomfort. According to your current symptoms, it is recommended that you do not worry and can take Chinese herbal medicine to regulate your body. For example, Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan is a suitable option. In daily life, pay attention to your diet and avoid spicy, cold, and cooling foods. Moderate outdoor exercise can also be beneficial. For male patients, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect your overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
