Is the inability to get an erection and weak erection related to kidney yin deficiency?

Patient's question:

I recently don't know what's going on, my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. Is it related to yin deficiency of the kidney that the yin meridian cannot get erect and has weak erection?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, there is a relationship. During sexual activity, if the penis cannot erect, or erect but not firm, or firm but not lasting, or becomes soft immediately after entering the vagina, it is called impotence. If the penis erects during sexual activity but does not enter the vagina and ejaculation occurs, or ejaculation occurs immediately after entering the vagina, resulting in the penis becoming soft and unable to engage in normal sexual activity, this does not fall under impotence.
There are many reasons for genital shortness, such as excessive foreskin or phimosis, endocrine disorders, etc., which can all cause poor genital development. Treatment can consider undergoing an elongation surgery, followed by taking tonifying kidney and yang-enhancing herbs for regulation.
