Patient's question:
Because I started having sex since my teens, and it has been over ten years now. Long-term sexual activity has led to premature ejaculation and weak erection. How should I treat it? I am only in my early 30s and have not yet had children. I am worried about its impact on future fertility and feel very upset. I want to actively seek treatment.Doctor's answer:
This premature ejaculation accompanied by weak erection is primarily considered to be caused by prolonged excessive sexual activity, leading to insufficient kidney essence as described in traditional Chinese medicine. From a Western medicine perspective, it may be due to excessive sensitivity of the glans or insufficient blood supply to the penis. Specific diagnosis requires a thorough examination and testing at a hospital. In the meantime, oral herbal tonics for replenishing kidney essence can be taken, but specific medication should be decided upon by a doctor. Additionally, moxibustion with mugwort can be applied to the Guanyuan acupoint.
