Patient's question:
During adolescence, sexual maturity was intense. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, masturbation occurred. In my early twenties, symptoms of facial flushing and neurasthenia appeared. At the age of twenty-four or twenty-five, there were cases of nocturnal emissions and wet dreams. After that, it became a situation where there were sexual urges but no erection. To this day, sexual behavior cannot be as desired, and only natural erections are possible.Medications taken: Six-Flavor Rehmannia Pill, Strengthening Waist and Kidney Pill, Lock Yang Solid Essence Pill, Golden Chamber Kidney Qi Pill, and many herbs, but no improvement has been seen.
Symptoms: nocturnal emissions, weakness in the waist and knees, excessive sleepiness and frequent dreams, loose teeth, hair loss, coarse and white beard hair (not genetically inherited. Suspected to be caused by the above medications, as I remember those pills contained hair growth hormones. No hair growth occurred, but instead, a beard grew), damp and itchy scrotum, inability to get an erection when needed, premature ejaculation, etc.
Doctor's answer:
The causes of sexual dysfunction include pathological and psychological factors, and sometimes both can coexist. These include organic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hypertension, liver and kidney diseases, prostate diseases, endocrine diseases, etc., as well as mental illnesses and unhealthy lifestyles. Therefore, a thorough etiological examination of the condition is necessary. Only after identifying the root cause can effective treatment be administered.
