Patient's question:
Before the age of forty, I could still get an erection occasionally when I wanted to urinate in the morning. After the age of forty, my ability to get an erection declined, especially in the past two years, I haven't even had the desire for sex. During this time, I have visited Linqing No. 2 People's Hospital several times, but after taking the medication, it didn't work again. I am looking for the following help: In the past year, I have had a pain in the inner thigh and near the anus. Last September, I had an ultrasound examination at Linqing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, and the report said it was benign prostatic hyperplasia!Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction (ED) refers to the inability to achieve or maintain an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse, or the inability to maintain an erection of sufficient hardness for an adequate duration of sexual activity, thereby interfering with sexual intercourse or preventing it from being completed successfully. There are several causes of ED. If you suffer from this condition, it is crucial not to self-medicate with warming supplements. It is essential to use medicine based on a differential diagnosis according to your specific condition. Currently, there are many medications available for treating ED, and it is best to consult a doctor at a hospital for a definitive diagnosis and treatment. Consuming foods that support kidney health and strengthen essence, such as oysters, walnuts, chestnuts, soft-shell turtles, clams, pigeon eggs, and pig kidneys, can be effective in treating ED and also provide additional benefits!
