Patient's question:
Male, 47 years old, unable to resist the temptation of unhealthy online ideologies, connected with several netizens and had one-night (multiple nights) stands. Due to his "extramarital sexual dysfunction" (inability to achieve erection due to nervousness), he took the quick-acting erection pills "Sanbianbao," "Beilvlang," and "Mogen Jin Cao Cao" before each sexual encounter. Of course, he took them in doses as prescribed on the instructions, mostly reducing the dosage (I was afraid of side effects, and there were indeed side effects when taking them, but to seek stimulation, he didn't care much). These pills were all ordered from Beijing Qici Valley by mail. So far, in one year and four months, he has taken them 16 times, averaging once a month, but sometimes the intervals were shorter.Doctor's answer:
Hello: You may have taken aphrodisiac drugs, which could have led to kidney yin deficiency. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that kidney yin deficiency manifests as a weak condition due to insufficient nourishment, leading to internal deficiency heat. The symptoms of kidney yin deficiency include: soreness and pain in the lower back and knees, dizziness and tinnitus, premature ejaculation and nocturnal emissions in men, insomnia and forgetfulness, dry mouth and throat, restlessness in the palms, soles, and chest (five palms/soles), night sweats, flushed cheeks in the afternoon (feeling of heat), yellow and scanty urine, red tongue with little moisture, thin or no coating, and a thin, rapid pulse. Treatment generally focuses on nourishing yin and tonifying the kidneys, and traditional Chinese herbal formulas like Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill) and Zuo Gui Wan (Left-Gui Wan) can be used. However, TCM emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment, so it is best to consult a local traditional Chinese medicine hospital for a clinical examination. The combination of the four diagnostic methods () is ideal.
