In general, the effectiveness of acupuncture in treating premature ejaculation depends on the specific circumstances. If premature ejaculation is caused by kidney deficiency or similar conditions, the therapeutic effect is usually better; however, if it is caused by inflammatory diseases, acupuncture may not achieve the desired therapeutic effect. When choosing acupuncture treatment, patients should fully understand their own condition and undergo treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician.
Generally speaking, the effectiveness of acupuncture treatment for premature ejaculation depends on the specific circumstances. If premature ejaculation is caused by kidney deficiency, the treatment usually yields better results; however, if it is caused by inflammatory diseases, acupuncture may not achieve the desired therapeutic effect. A detailed explanation is as follows:
If premature ejaculation is caused by deficiency syndromes in traditional Chinese medicine theories, such as kidney yin deficiency, acupuncture treatment may be quite effective. Acupuncture can stimulate specific acupoints, regulate the flow of qi and blood through the meridians, promote smooth circulation of qi and blood, thereby improving kidney and spleen function, and alleviating symptoms of premature ejaculation. In such cases, acupuncture can serve as an adjunctive therapy to help patients improve their physical condition and enhance sexual quality of life.
If premature ejaculation is caused by organic diseases such as prostatitis, the effectiveness of acupuncture treatment may be less satisfactory. In this case, patients are advised to seek timely medical consultation at a hospital, obtain a clear diagnosis through medical examinations, and then undergo targeted treatments, such as medication or surgical intervention.
When choosing acupuncture treatment, patients should fully understand their own physical condition and the underlying cause of premature ejaculation, and undergo treatment under the guidance of qualified physicians. Additionally, acupuncture treatment for premature ejaculation requires continuous sessions over a period of time before noticeable results can be achieved. Patients should remain patient and confident, and actively cooperate with their physician's treatment plan.
