Patient's question:
A while ago, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and was told that I have severe premature ejaculation. I took some medication and felt a bit better, so I stopped taking it. Later, I heard from a friend that premature ejaculation can be divided into yin deficiency and yang deficiency, and it's not advisable to take medicine randomly. Hello doctor, is premature ejaculation due to kidney yin deficiency or yang deficiency?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, traditional Chinese medicine believes that premature ejaculation is a typical symptom of kidney yin deficiency. Therefore, in the treatment of premature ejaculation, the focus is primarily on treating kidney yin deficiency. It is recommended that you take Chinese patent medicines such as Liuwei Dihuang Wan and Zhibai Dihuang Wan for symptomatic treatment. If conditions permit, it is advisable to consult the traditional Chinese medicine department of a regular hospital for syndrome differentiation and treatment adjustment, and then confirm an individualized medication plan.
