Patient's question:
A friend recently suffered from prostatitis, but he didn't take it seriously at the time because he believed it was a common condition for men. He took medicine occasionally, and the effects were sometimes good and sometimes bad. Recently, he experienced premature ejaculation, which made him feel a bit upset, fearing it would affect his sexual function.Doctor's answer:
Ejaculation issues are related to the mind-spirit. During the day, the mind-spirit resides in the heart, governing vitality and growth. Because thoughts are clear and focused during the day, there is no room for deception. At night, the mind-spirit resides in the kidneys, with the divine essence hidden alongside kidney essence, governing tranquility. When the function of tranquility is impaired, it may lead to profound spring dreams and result in ejaculation. If ejaculation occurs shortly after falling asleep or before midnight, it indicates a disruption in tranquility, with the root of the problem in the kidneys. If it recurs after midnight, when the hour of Zi has passed and Yang begins to rise, it is akin to ejaculation during the "Yang within Yin" phase, indicating a disruption in vitality, with the root of the problem in the heart. In fact, having prostatitis is not at all. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as treatment is sought promptly in the early stages, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
