Patient's question:
I have experienced impotence and premature ejaculation due to excessive masturbation and irregular lifestyle. Is there any good method to cure it? Are there any medications available?Doctor's answer:
Premature ejaculation refers to the condition where ejaculation occurs at the beginning of sexual intercourse, or even before intercourse begins. This condition can be effectively treated with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), yielding relatively ideal results. The differentiation of premature ejaculation in TCM includes Yin deficiency with excess fire and Yin-Yang deficiency, with treatment primarily focusing on nourishing Yin, replenishing the kidneys, and tonifying essence. For those with excess fire, the treatment also involves reducing the fire, while for those with Yang deficiency, it involves warming the kidneys. However, TCM emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment, so it is recommended to consult a local TCM hospital for clinical assessment, combining the four diagnostic methods to achieve effective treatment. Additionally, temporary separation of the couple, mutual care and understanding, relaxation of tension, abstaining from masturbation, and appropriate physical exercise play important roles in the treatment of premature ejaculation.

At this time, if the scrotum and testicles are pulled toward the perineum, the excitability can be reduced, and ejaculation can be delayed.
2. Reducing sexual sensitivity: Using a condom or applying topical medications to the penis before intercourse, such as 1% lidocaine, 1% diclofenac ointment, or 3% ethyl aminobenzoate cold cream, can lower the sensitivity of sensory nerve endings in the penis.
3. Alternating hot and cold sit baths: Take a 15-minute cold sit bath before bed, followed by a 15-minute warm sit bath, once daily. This can improve the ability to control ejaculation in the posterior urethra.
4. Adopt the supine position with legs straight and feet about 100 cm apart. Place your hands by your hips, relax naturally, focus your gaze inward, and concentrate on the lower Dantian. Close your mouth and press your tongue to the roof of your mouth. First, focus on the lower Dantian for 2 minutes, then begin inhaling. During inhalation, contract your abdomen and anal sphincter, causing the penis, testicles, and anus to contract simultaneously while drawing the lower abdomen in. At this time, visualize the energy flowing from the glans penis through the penis to the perineum, and then from the perineum through the coccyx along the spine.
