Patient's question:
I have been experiencing issues with my sexual performance for the past three months. My sexual endurance is not as long as I would like, and I have been experiencing a lack of pleasure during ejaculation.Doctor's answer:
Hello, in terms of Traditional Chinese Medicine, this is said to be kidney Yang deficiency. When Yang deficiency weakens the warming function, it cannot invigorate the spirit, leading to fatigue and sluggishness, as well as slow reaction times. When Yang deficiency fails to warm and circulate Qi and blood to nourish the clear orifices, it can cause dizziness and vertigo (feeling mentally unclear all day). A decline in the fire of the mingmen can lead to reduced sexual function, causing low libido, and in men, it may result in impotence and premature ejaculation. Insufficient Yang can also lead to weak erections.You can take Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan (Golden Cabinet Kidney Qi Pill). Additionally, try to eat more foods that nourish kidney essence and Yang, such as: sesame, chestnuts, mung beans, dog meat, chives, and bird's nest. Also, soaking your feet in warm water before bed can help warm and invigorate the kidney Yang. Wishing you good health.
