Patient's question:
Doctor, I mainly have kidney yin deficiency, so I have been taking prepared rehmannia and tortoise shell glue, and I feel quite good. However, my erection strength isn't strong enough. I suspect I might also have some yang deficiency, so I recently added rhino horn, specifically the rhino horn from Xinjiang. As a result, my bowel movements have become dry instead. I was already prone to constipation, with sticky stools, indicating dampness in my body. Prepared rehmannia actually helps with my bowel movements, but rhino horn is traditionally used to promote bowel movement, yet it doesn't work for me. Why is this happening? I would appreciate your advice. Additionally, for my kidney yin deficiency, besides prepared rehmannia and tortoise shell glue, what other herbs can I take to improve my erection strength?Doctor's answer:
Your symptoms are generally considered to be caused by internal kidney deficiency or physical weakness, leading to a series of bodily conditions. It is recommended to maintain a balanced diet, avoid picky eating, and increase nutrition by consuming more fish, shrimp, milk, and other foods. Additionally, take tonifying kidney and consolidating essence herbs.
