Patient's question:
The doctor recently noticed that the erection is not firm, it can be hard, but it becomes soft after a very short time. Before this year, there were no such problems with his girlfriend, but after getting divorced and starting a new relationship, this issue reappeared. He has a long history of sexual activity. He has been experiencing long-term anorexia, feeling hot, sweating excessively in the summer, preferring coolness, and dislikes cold air even when traveling in winter. His deep sleep at night is also poor, leading to anorexia and dizziness during the day. He has lower back pain. Is it Kidney Yang deficiency or Kidney Yin deficiency? He feels he has symptoms of both Yin and Yang, but doesn't know what medicine to take. He just bought Six Flavor Rehmannia Pills and Jin Suo Gu Jing Pills. Are they suitable?Doctor's answer:
It's recently been erect but not firm. This situation is generally caused by kidney deficiency, with a higher possibility of kidney Yang deficiency. It's recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up and consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Using traditional Chinese medicine for regulation tends to be more effective. Erections that are not firm can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and there's a tendency for the condition to recur after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it's crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's advice, use medications appropriately, and avoid sitting or riding for long periods. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene.
