Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing ED (Erectile Dysfunction) and PE (Premature Ejaculation). My sexual performance has never been very strong, and sometimes I have lower back pain. I still have morning erections, but they are short in duration and not very firm. My testosterone levels are normal. Is there a quick remedy that doesn't affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction is a common disease among middle-aged men, with clinical subtypes including fear damaging the kidneys, damp-heat accumulation in the lower body, damage to the heart and spleen, and declining life fire. It is primarily caused by excessive sexual activity and overexertion, and its clinical manifestations include inability to achieve an erection or a weak erection during sexual activity.Advice: It is recommended to consult a traditional Chinese medicine department for syndrome differentiation and treatment. For fear damaging the kidneys, Da Bu Yuan Jiao (Great Tonifying Decoction) should be used; for damp-heat accumulation in the lower body, Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan (Rehmannia Eight); for damage to the heart and spleen, Gui Pi Tang (Tonifying Spleen Decoction); and for declining life fire, Wu Zi Yan Zong Wan (Five Seeds Invigorating Origin Pill). In daily life, attention should be paid to diet, nutritional support, and consuming more fruits and vegetables, which are beneficial for the recovery of erectile dysfunction.
