Can people with kidney yang deficiency take Liuwei?

Patient's question:

I cannot achieve morning erections with a firm penis and suffer from premature ejaculation. Is it due to kidney yang deficiency or yin deficiency? Can taking Liuwei Wan help?

Doctor's answer:

1 Kidney deficiency is divided into kidney yang deficiency and kidney yin deficiency:
The symptoms of kidney yang deficiency include lower back pain, cold limbs, and aversion to cold, which manifest as "cold" symptoms. For kidney yang deficiency, food supplements can include dog meat, mutton, chives, and loach. Medications such as Shenbao (Kidney Treasure) or Jinkui Shenqi Wan (Golden Chamber Kidney Qi Pill) are recommended.
The symptoms of kidney yin deficiency are "hot," primarily including lower back pain, dry heat, thirst, night sweats, dizziness, and lightheadedness. For kidney yin deficiency, food supplements can include pork kidney, black fungus, black sesame seeds, and small walnuts. Medications are recommended to be taken orally, such as Di Huang Wan (Rehmannia Pills).
There are many treatment methods for premature ejaculation, but since patients have different symptoms, the diagnostic approach varies. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to seek a diagnosis as soon as possible to prescribe the correct treatment.
