Patient's question:
I feel weak every day, no matter how much I sleep, I always feel tired. I often feel very sleepy at noon, and I don't sleep well at night. My appetite is large, and my body is gaining weight rapidly. My lower limbs are thick and short, my thighs are very muscular, my limbs are short, my fingers are short, and my genitalia are small, but there is no erectile dysfunction. I have a long history of sexual intercourse and suspect that sexual intercourse may lead to poor growth and development. I am easily fatigued, easily annoyed, and have a lot of white hair. Age 23, male.Doctor's answer:
Considering it may be due to insufficient qi and blood, symptoms include lack of luster in the face, dizziness and vertigo, palpitations and fainting, poor appetite and fatigue, shortness of breath and reluctance to speak, pale tongue, and a weak, thready, and pulse. Commonly used qi-tonifying herbs such as ginseng, Codonopsis pilosula, white atractylodes, and licorice are often combined with blood-tonifying herbs like prepared rehmannia, Poria, white peony root, and donkey-hide gelatin to form herbal formulas. For patients with severe androgenic disorders, immediate symptomatic treatment with appropriate medications is necessary. Otherwise, the condition may recur. Additionally, patients should maintain a proper diet and keep a positive mood. It is hoped that the answers to the above questions will be helpful to everyone. Thank you.
