Treatment for erectile dysfunction caused by masturbation

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Wanting treatment for impotence caused by masturbation

Doctor's answer:

Hello: In fact, most impotence is caused by psychological factors. Traditional Chinese Medicine has certain advantages in this regard. Impotence refers to a condition in young and middle-aged men where, due to reasons such as deficiency, fright, or damp-heat, the zongjin (penis) loses nourishment and becomes slack, leading to weak or non-erect penis, inability to maintain an erection during sexual activity, or inability to sustain an erection. It is often accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue, lower back and knee weakness, dizziness and tinnitus, coldness in the scrotum and penis, reduced semen volume or low sperm motility, a sense of fullness or 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.
- Fear damaging the kidneys: Benefit the kidneys and calm the spirit.
- Liver qi stagnation: Soothe the liver and resolve stagnation.
- Damp-heat lower stagnation: Clear and resolve damp-heat.
However, Traditional Chinese Medicine 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 match the treatment to your specific symptoms. Only then can the medicine effectively treat the condition. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
