Patient's question:
I've been married for a few years now, and we don't have any children yet. We're planning to have a baby within a year. Recently, I've noticed that I'm not performing well. Every time my wife says it's ovulation time, I lose my erection and can't maintain it for long. This is directly affecting our intimate life. What are the causes of impotence and premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
Hello, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the main cause of impotence is the deficiency of both the liver and kidneys. Kidney deficiency leads to poor nourishment of the liver, causing damage to the liver meridian system. The liver meridian "circles the two lower orifices," and when liver qi is stagnant, it generates cold. If yang qi cannot be properly retained, premature ejaculation occurs. The treatment primarily focuses on dispelling cold and tonifying the kidneys. Tonifying the kidneys helps resolve stagnation in the liver meridian while simultaneously nourishing the liver.
