Patient's question:
When I was young, I often had night sweats. Now, sometimes when I have sex with my girlfriend, I don't control my ejaculation well. The next day, I feel like I have kidney deficiency, and my sexual performance isn't as good as it should be. What treatment do I need?Now, I often stay up late and can't get up early in the morning. I also don't have time to exercise regularly, and my body is generally average.
Doctor's answer:
Hello: You are experiencing night sweats, which is a typical symptom of kidney yin deficiency. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that kidney yin deficiency leads to a lack of nourishment, resulting in the development of a weak condition characterized by internalheat. This is known as kidney yin deficiency, and its symptoms include: soreness and pain in the lower back and knees, dizziness and tinnitus, premature ejaculation and in men, insomnia and forgetfulness, dry mouth and throat, in the palms, soles, and chest (feeling of heat), night sweats, flushed cheeks in the afternoon (feeling of fever), yellow and scanty urine, red tongue with little moisture, thin or no coating, and a thready, rapid pulse. Treatment generally focuses on nourishing yin and tonifying the kidneys. You can take traditional Chinese herbal formulas such as Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill) and Zuo Gui Wan. However, TCM emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment. It is best for you to consult a local TCM hospital for a clinical diagnosis. The combination of the four diagnostic methods (inspection, auscultation/olfaction, inquiry, and palpation) is ideal.
