Patient's question:
I have been suffering from erectile dysfunction for nearly half a year. Besides being a bit disappointing in sexual intercourse, it hasn't affected other aspects much. Is erectile dysfunction definitely treatable? What are the consequences of not treating it? What are the harms of leaving untreated erectile dysfunction? How much does it cost to treat erectile dysfunction in Shenzhen?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction refers to the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse when there is a sexual desire, or the presence of an erection with a certain degree of hardness but unable to maintain it for a sufficient duration during intercourse, thereby hindering or preventing sexual intercourse. There are many causes of erectile dysfunction. If you suffer from this condition, it is crucial not to self-medicate with warming tonics but to use medication based on a differential diagnosis according to your specific condition. As for which type of formula to choose for which pattern, there are numerous treatments available for this condition, making it difficult for patients to manage independently. It is best to consult a doctor for diagnosis and medication. Chinese herbal formulas such as Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Flavor Rehmannia Pill) and Jinluo Gujing Wan (Golden Lock Strengthening Essence Pill) can be used for regulation. Rest well and consume foods that support kidney health and essence, such as oysters, walnuts, chestnuts, soft-shell turtles, clams, pigeon eggs, and pig kidneys.
