Patient's question:
I found that I have symptoms of premature ejaculation. During sexual intercourse, it is difficult for me to reach climax, and the duration is not long. I want to get rid of these premature ejaculation symptoms as soon as possible and would like to try traditional Chinese medicine treatment.Hello doctor, what Chinese herbal treatments are available for premature ejaculation?
Doctor's answer:
The condition described by the patient is generally still recommended to be treated with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for better results. However, TCM emphasizes the four diagnostic methods—inspection, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation—and requires a face-to-face consultation with a TCM practitioner at a local TCM hospital. The cause of the illness may be related to the patient's excessively frequent sexual activity or long-term sexual habits, which could lead to a significant depletion of kidney essence and subsequently manifest as kidney yang deficiency. Therefore, it is advised that the patient pay attention to avoiding cold sensations and, if they have a sexual habit, should quit it promptly.
