Patient's question:
Recently, it's sometimes hard to get erect. I'm only 23 this year. Is it caused by masturbation?Doctor's answer:
Hello, young men can recover from impotence relatively quickly. (1) Actively participate in physical exercise, especially the practice of Qigong, to improve physical and mental fitness and enhance the ability to control willpower. (2) Adjust your emotions, eliminate tension, inferiority, and fear caused by concerns such as the risk of the female partner becoming pregnant or worries about the size of the sexual organs or weak sexual ability. During sexual activity, it is important to stay relaxed. (3) Avoid excessive indulgence, sexual activity after fatigue, and forced intercourse. (4) If the male has premature ejaculation, the female should avoid blaming or criticizing him, as this may worsen his psychological pressure. (5) Consume more foods that have the effect of tonifying the kidneys and consolidating essence, such as oysters, walnuts, chestnuts, soft-shell turtles, clams, pigeon eggs, and pig kidneys. (6) Patients with premature ejaculation due to yin deficiency and excess fire should avoid consuming overly pungent and hot foods, such as mutton, dog meat, sparrow meat, and beef or lamb penises, to prevent worsening the condition.
