Disease description:

Recently, the duration of intercourse with my husband has become shorter compared to before, and after an examination, I found out it was caused by premature ejaculation. So, can Premature Ejaculation be treated by taking Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Six Flavor Rehmannia Pill)?

Dr. Zhang Xiuhong

Six-Flavor Rehmannia Pill is a classic traditional Chinese medicine formula traditionally used to nourish yin and supplement the kidneys. It is suitable for symptoms caused by kidney yin deficiency, such as dizziness, tinnitus, soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, tidal fever, and night sweats. Regarding premature ejaculation, if it is caused by kidney yin deficiency, Six-Flavor Rehmannia Pill may theoretically have certain auxiliary effects, as it helps regulate kidney function.

The causes of premature ejaculation may involve physiological, psychological, or other systemic issues. Besides kidney deficiency, it may also be related to prostatitis, sex hormone levels, nervous system disorders, or psychological factors. Therefore, relying solely on Six-Flavor Rehmannia Pill to treat premature ejaculation may not necessarily be effective, and the effectiveness may vary from person to person.
