Patient's question:
Drinking beer while working overtime, engaging in sexual activity for over ten years. Now having difficulty getting erect. Erections are not firm. They get soft quickly, it's very annoying. Should I go to the hospital?Doctor's answer:
This is due to kidney deficiency, which is related to frequent sexual activity. Because frequent sexual activity consumes the body's kidney qi, it can lead to kidney deficiency. You can consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to prescribe herbal remedies for tonifying the kidneys and boosting yang, such as Eucommia ulmoides and goji berries. For patients with weak erections, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely medication treatment and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting.
