Patient's question:
Erectile dysfunction for half a year and I haven't gone to the hospital yet, the pressure is getting bigger and bigger. What measures can I take by myself?Doctor's answer:
Sexual dysfunction refers to a category of disorders where individuals are unable to engage in normal sexual activity or fail to achieve sexual satisfaction during normal sexual activity. Most sexual dysfunctions are psychogenic rather than organic, meaning psychological factors are the primary cause of these disorders, hence some refer to them as sexual psychological disorders. Also known as impotence, impotence is often associated with excessive yang fire in young and middle-aged individuals, or caused by the depletion of yin essence, damp-heat accumulation in the lower body, blood vessel stagnation, fright and shock damaging the kidneys, or excessive worry injuring the spleen. Chinese herbal medicines that tonify yang can treat impotence, with kidney yang deficiency being the most significant form of yang deficiency. Symptoms of kidney yang deficiency include fatigue, aversion to cold, numb limbs, soreness in the lower back and knees, impotence, frequent nighttime urination, and incontinence. Regardless of the type of impotence, the most effective treatment approach involves addressing psychological and behavioral aspects, requiring a comprehensive treatment that integrates psychological, behavioral, and pharmacological interventions.
