Patient's question:
Hello, doctor, how can I treat male impotence and premature ejaculation in the elderly?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Patients with impotence should consume more foods such as mutton, dog meat, animal kidneys, fish eggs, and oysters. Patients with premature ejaculation can eat more walnuts, Euryale seeds, chestnuts, softshell turtles, clams, pigeon eggs, and pig kidneys. However, these foods should not be consumed by those with yin deficiency and internal heat or dampness accumulation, as they may worsen the condition. Additionally, there are many causes of impotence and premature ejaculation, and it is essential not to treat all cases solely as kidney deficiency. Avoid using indiscriminate methods to enhance virility or taking aphrodisiacs, as this may lead to adverse consequences. Medication treatment should primarily focus on standard pharmaceuticals.Advice: Seafood such as sea cucumbers, abalone, scallops, and loaches are effective foods for enhancing vitality. Fish, shrimp, shellfish, and seaweeds are rich in zinc, which is a crucial substance for testosterone formation. Therefore, consuming seafood can improve libido. Maize oil is rich in vitamins B and E. A deficiency in vitamin E can lead to penis atrophy and shrinkage and a reduction in the secretion of sex hormones. Thus, it is advisable to regularly eat foods containing maize oil, such as corn, millet, and whole wheat flour.
