Patient's question:
My boyfriend is healthy, but in the past six months, he has noticed that he finishes sex within less than a minute each time. It feels like he hasn't even had a chance to come out before it happens. He used to have a sexual habit, having sex one to two times a week, but now it's completely affecting our lives. Is there any way to treat premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
The current cause of the patient's condition is primarily considered to be a recurrence of kidney Yang deficiency due to long-term sexual activity, leading to a significant depletion of kidney essence. It is recommended that the patient promptly abstain from sexual activity. In terms of diet, it may be beneficial to consume more foods that support kidney health, such as Chinese chives and lamb. If the patient also experiences symptoms like frequent urination, difficulty urinating, a split stream, or incomplete urination, prostatitis should be considered. The patient should first visit the urology department of a hospital for a thorough examination and follow-up. If necessary, a Chinese medicine practitioner should be consulted for diagnosis and treatment.
