Patient's question:
Doctor, I haven't been very confident recently. My wife says I'm not doing well in bed. I've noticed it myself too—recently, I've lost interest in sex. When it comes time to have sex, I can't get hard. What's going on? Is it normal for me to have premature ejaculation at my age? How can I treat sexual dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and impotence?Doctor's answer:
Sexual dysfunction can manifest as premature ejaculation or issues with erectile function, where the penis is unable to achieve normal engorgement or sufficient hardness. These are typical symptoms of premature ejaculation. Beyond this, premature ejaculation also refers to the inability to bring a sexual partner to orgasm during intercourse, with ejaculation occurring prematurely due to a short sexual duration. Treatment for this condition typically involves traditional Chinese medicine to tonify the kidneys and medications to stabilize the prostate.
