Patient's question:
I've been married for three years, and my child just turned two. Previously, our sexual life was great. Since late October, my penis has been in a poor state during sexual activity. In late December, I visited the urology department for a thorough check-up, including an ultrasound. The doctor said there was a slight case of prostatitis and prescribed three boxes of Qian Mao Bei Xi capsules. After taking them, he then prescribed three boxes of Ba Jie oral liquid, saying there was some yang deficiency. I've now taken half a box, and morning erections have completely returned. When I stimulate it manually, it responds, sometimes getting very hard, but last night, when I was about to have sex, it became soft again. This really worries me. When I stimulate it manually and orally, as soon as I feel something, I feel like I'm about to orgasm. Later, I put on a condom, and indeed, I ejaculated. After resting for a while, I tried stimulating it manually again, and it hardened. My wife went on top directly, and we had successful intercourse. But I always feel a deep sense of guilt. I've had thorough check-ups, and nothing was said. Do I need to take Jin Gao? I'm afraid of the side effects if I take it long-term.Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is still considered related to your stress and overexertion. Now that you have morning erections, it proves that the function is normal, and you can stop taking the medication and wait for a period of time for observation. You can then perform activities that lift the anus, which can help massage the prostate and provide some benefit to erections. You can eat some zinc-rich foods like seafood, and first stop taking the medication for a while to see. After all, medication is prescribed, and you need to eliminate your own mental tension, then avoid overexertion.
