Patient's question:
Erectile dysfunction for two years without giving up sexual activity. Now I have been taking medication for two weeks and feel that I am still young. How long should I take the medication to fully recover?Doctor's answer:
Frequent and long-term sexual activity can easily lead to the depletion of kidney essence, resulting in a weakened immune system, which is one of the clinical manifestations of kidney deficiency in traditional Chinese medicine. First, it is recommended to avoid the habit of sexual activity and to enhance physical exercise to boost your resistance. It is necessary to undergo professional urological and andrological examinations, including penile cavernous Doppler flow studies, to accurately diagnose the condition. Erections that are not firm tend to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals, with treatment plans determined based on thorough examination results. It is also important to moderate sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
