Patient's question:
Erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation are symptoms of yang deficiency?Doctor's answer:
Frequent or excessive masturbation first leads to insufficient kidney essence, which means excessive excretion. Kidney essence deficiency inevitably affects kidney yin deficiency, which in turn affects yin deficiency leading to yang deficiency, and further results in kidney yang deficiency or both yin and yang deficiency in the kidneys. Kidney essence deficiency, whether it manifests as kidney yin deficiency, kidney yang deficiency, or other conditions, all fall under the category of kidney deficiency. It is recommended to immediately stop masturbation, reduce exposure to distressing books and movies, strengthen self-cultivation, maintain a regular diet, and actively exercise. Classic medications for kidney yang deficiency include Guì Fù Dì Huáng Wán and Yuè Guī Wán, while those for kidney yin deficiency include Liù Wèi Dì Huáng Wán and Zuǒ Guī Wán. It is best to use these medications under the guidance of a doctor.
