Patient's question:
My husband is a little difficult to get hard.Doctor's answer:
Impotence refers to young and middle-aged individuals who, due to causes such as deficiency, fright, or damp-heat, experience the loss of nourishment in the zongjīn (penile tissues), leading to relaxation and weakness. This results in a flaccid penis that fails to become erect during sexual activity, or an erection that cannot be sustained. It is often accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue, lower back and knee weakness, dizziness, tinnitus, coldness in the scrotum and penis, reduced semen volume or low sperm motility, a heavy and painful sensation in the perineum, difficulty urinating, or clear, frequent urination.Treatment based on syndrome differentiation:
- Decline of mingmen fire: Warm and tonify the kidney yang, nourish the kidneys, and replenish essence.
- Damage to the heart and spleen: Tonify the heart and spleen.
- Fear injuring the kidneys: Benefit the kidneys and calm the mind.
- Liver qi stagnation: Soothe the liver and resolve stagnation.
- Damp-heat descending: Clear and resolve damp-heat.
However, traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment. You should consult a local traditional Chinese medicine hospital and combine the four diagnostic methods (inspection, auscultation/olfaction, inquiry, and palpation) to receive targeted treatment, which will effectively cure the condition. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
