Patient's question:
Medical Description: Started masturbating at the age of 13 or 14, lasting about 40-50 minutes at that time. Started experiencing premature ejaculation at 20, and now at 24, it has reduced to just one or two minutes. Past Treatment and Effects: Had a prostate examination, which showed mild inflammation, and low levels of sexual hormones, but now feel some improvement. Desired Help: Just need to recover to about 60% of what it was in my youth.Doctor's answer:
Premature ejaculation refers to the condition where ejaculation occurs at the beginning of sexual intercourse, or even before intercourse, making it impossible to engage in normal sexual life. It is recommended to pay attention to regular exercise to enhance physical fitness, avoid cold and cooling foods, and drink a cup of pure milk before going to bed each night. Additionally, medications such as Liuwei Dihuang Wan can be taken for treatment. Moderate masturbation has no adverse effects on health, but excessive masturbation can deplete physical energy, lead to a decline in physical fitness, and gradually cause a deficiency of kidney yang, resulting in serious consequences such as impotence and premature ejaculation. Therefore, it is advised to stop masturbation promptly and find personal interests to divert attention through activities like playing sports, watching movies, or reading. Abstain from alcohol, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, and consume more seafood, soy products, fish, and shrimp to boost yang and replenish essence. Regular exercise is also recommended to enhance physical fitness and restore sexual ability as soon as possible.
