Is erectile dysfunction the same as impotence?

Patient's question:

In sexual activity, the penis cannot become erect; although sexual arousal can lead to erection, it spontaneously becomes erect during deep sleep, morning erections, or during sexual stimulation. During sexual arousal, the penis can become erect, but it cannot complete normal intercourse when inserted into the vagina, or it becomes soft before ejaculation even if inserted. What is going on? Here is the help: Hello doctor, how can these two be distinguished? How can this condition be relieved? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Your symptoms are not ruled out as being caused by sexual dysfunction; in traditional Chinese medicine, it indicates a deficiency of the kidneys. It is recommended that you consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for regulation and treatment. Medication suggestions include taking Liuwei Dihuang Wan or Zuoyue Wan, along with Jinguishenqi for regulation. If you have a habit of sexual intercourse, it is best to abstain, and avoid excessive frequency of sexual activity. Daily routines should include regular sleep patterns, maintaining warmth to prevent cold exposure, consuming light and soft foods, ensuring good ventilation, and drinking plenty of warm water. The above are suggestions for this issue, and it is hoped that they will be helpful to you.
