Patient's question:
I have been having sex for over ten years. Sometimes when I take a nap, I find my underwear wet. Sometimes when I browse forums like Tieba, I feel a bit like I want to ejaculate. Sometimes I notice my glans is itchy and feel like I want to ejaculate. Sometimes sex also causes lower back pain. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Excessive sexual activity can lead to a significant depletion of kidney yang, resulting in uncontrolled primary yang and is also known as kidney deficiency, which weakens sexual function, causing lower back and waist pain, spontaneous sweating, restlessness, thirst, dizziness, palpitations, and weakness in all four limbs. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, it is crucial to first determine whether the deficiency is in kidney yin, kidney yang, or kidney qi before replenishing the kidneys. Blindly supplementing without proper diagnosis can be harmful rather than beneficial. In daily life, one can consume foods that boost yang, such as goji berries. When patients face premature ejaculation, timely symptomatic treatment should be implemented without avoiding medical consultation. If premature ejaculation does not improve with treatment, it is essential to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
