Patient's question:
During this time, sexual life has not made me very satisfied. Last time, I repeatedly experienced the inability to get an erection, which was very embarrassing. I want to seek treatment. Is it better to see a Western medicine doctor or a traditional Chinese medicine doctor for impotence and premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation are common male sexual dysfunctions. The causes of these symptoms may include reproductive system diseases such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, excessive foreskin, or phimosis. They may also be due to long-term poor dietary and lifestyle habits. Patients should seek medical advice at a regular public hospital's urology department for follow-up and relevant examinations to identify the specific cause. If there is a structural disease, treatment should be focused on the primary condition. In the absence of structural diseases, treatment can be administered through Traditional Chinese Medicine. Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption, refrain from sexual activity, moderately control the frequency of sexual life, engage in appropriate physical exercise, maintain a calm mindset, and prevent excessive stress.
