Patient's question:
A friend of mine only discovered he had a disease when he first got intimate with his girlfriend. He is now very scared and doesn't know if it can be completely cured. I am asking for advice from the experts.Doctor's answer:
Hello: TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment can be applied. Impotence refers to young and middle-aged individuals who, due to reasons such as deficiency, fright, and damp-heat, experience the loss of nourishment in the zongjin (penis), leading to relaxation and weakness, causing the penis to be limp or erect but not firm enough, or firm but unable to sustain the erection. It is often accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue, sore waist and knees, dizziness and tinnitus, cold contraction of the scrotum and penis, reduced semen volume or low sperm motility, a sense of fullness and pain 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.
- Heart and spleen damage: Tonify the heart and spleen.
- Fright injuring the kidneys: Benefit the kidneys and calm the spirit.
- Liver qi stagnation: Soothe the liver and resolve stagnation.
- Damp-heat descending: Clear and resolve damp-heat.
However, TCM 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 prescribe the correct medicine for the specific condition, so that the medicine can effectively treat the disease. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
