Patient's question:
Previously, I could still get an erection, but now I have to use my hand, and it's quite difficult. My first sexual experience was when I was a child, I had an accidental ejaculation while sleeping on my stomach during a nap at midnight. After that, I started pressing my bed every day, once in the morning and once at night, and I couldn't sleep without pressing it. However, I cannot have sexual intercourse with my hand. The first four times, I learned to achieve ejaculation with my hand, but then I experienced difficulties with getting an erection, weak erections, and issues with maintaining hardness. I don't know what's wrong. I have intermittently abstained from sexual intercourse for four months, during which time I had seven sexual encounters. Some of them were with a soft erection, but the sexual pleasure was still okay, though not as intense as when pressing the bed. Now, I have completely abstained from sexual intercourse for 31 days. However, now I can only get a hard erection with my hand, but it's not very hard and tends to soften easily. I also have the symptom of white discharge with urination. I want to ask a doctor what I should do. Just now, I had a strong desire, but it was very difficult to get an erection. I used to be different—I used to be able to get an erection as soon as I...Doctor's answer:
This is still due to an unhealthy lifestyle, and in Traditional Chinese Medicine, the main cause is qi deficiency and yang deficiency, leading to a loss of ability to hold things together. Young people should seek treatment early. Personally, I would recommend visiting a Traditional Chinese Medicine department in person to examine the tongue and pulse. Herbal treatment for a period of time should yield good results. For patients with weak erections, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely medication and avoid overexertion in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene.
