Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing severe lower back pain, weakness in the waist and knees, difficulty concentrating and focusing at work, dizziness, blurred vision, feeling lightheaded, aversion to cold, and suboptimal sexual performance, including premature ejaculation. By the way: How long does sexual intercourse need to last to be considered premature ejaculation? Short duration, easily dreaming during naps, restlessness, excessive thirst, dry mouth and tongue. I'm thinking of seeing a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Could it be that I have kidney deficiency?Doctor's answer:
If the time spent on sexual activity is less than two minutes for more than three months, it is considered premature ejaculation. Based on your description, it appears to be a manifestation of kidney yin deficiency, in addition to insufficient qi and blood. I personally recommend that you consider taking many Chinese herbal medicines that nourish yin and tonify the kidneys, such as Liu Wei Di Huang Wan, and then combine them with herbs that replenish qi and blood to adjust the condition. Additionally, regular physical activity is recommended to stabilize your physical constitution while also stimulating the healing function of the bone marrow, all of which can help alleviate the condition.
