Patient's question:
I am 30 years old this year, and I have started to get white hair. My earwax is oily, and I have premature ejaculation. Are these symptoms of kidney deficiency?Doctor's answer:
Premature ejaculation may be caused by either kidney yang deficiency or kidney yin deficiency. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that kidney yang deficiency is often due to long-term fatigue, excessive psychological stress, or excessive sexual activity, among other factors. There are records stating, "The kidney and the mingmen (life gate) are fundamentally the same in nature, serving as the hub of the body's yin and yang balance." Kidney yang deficiency is also a type of yang qi weakness.Treatment for kidney yang deficiency is generally best approached through herbal medicine and dietary therapy. In terms of diet, one can consume foods such as black sesame seeds, black fungus, black rice, black beans, walnuts, and chives to help regulate the condition. For herbal medicine, Si Zi Tian Jing capsules can be used. This product is a gradual-acting supplement for restoring kidney yang, containing a variety of herbal essence ingredients. It has the functions of tonifying the kidneys, warming yang, strengthening muscles, and enhancing bones. Moreover, its formula strictly adheres to the theory of TCM's warming and tonifying principles. The ingredients are natural and safe, with no side effects, making it suitable for long-term use by individuals with kidney yang deficiency.
