Patient's question:
My husband has been a bit weak in bed for two years. From the time of our wedding, when we had frequent sexual activity, it became to having one time a month later. At first, I didn't mind, everyone is busy, I just thought he was tired. But later, when we had sex occasionally, he also experienced premature ejaculation. I always comforted him, but he has quite a lot of psychological pressure. Is it better to treat premature ejaculation with Western medicine or how?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common and prevalent condition among men. Western medicine lacks a specific cure for it, and the chemical components in Western medications often have significant side effects. Long-term use can lead to other health issues. It is recommended to adopt traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment, as Chinese herbal medicine can address the root cause and also help in tonifying the kidneys. Additionally, it is advisable to engage in appropriate physical exercise to enhance physical fitness and maintain a relaxed mindset, avoiding excessive psychological stress. ED is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek timely symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctors' recommendations for treatment. At the same time, dietary issues should be addressed, avoiding spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
