Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Luo Yong
Insufficient hardness may be related to male erectile dysfunction. Whether or not one can take Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Six Flavor Rehmannia Pill) requires consideration of the following points:
1. Function of Liu Wei Di Huang Wan: This formula mainly nourishes the kidneys, clears deficiency heat, and alleviates symptoms such as dizziness, tinnitus, and soreness and weakness of the lower back and knees caused by kidney yin deficiency.
2. Causes of insufficient hardness: Erectile dysfunction may have multiple causes, including psychological factors, physiological issues, and medication side effects. Sole reliance on Liu Wei Di Huang Wan may not achieve the desired therapeutic effect.
3. Appropriate candidates for Liu Wei Di Huang Wan: From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, insufficient hardness might be associated with kidney yin deficiency, in which case Liu Wei Di Huang Wan may be used as a primary treatment. However, for individuals with kidney yang deficiency, this formula may not be very effective since it is specifically intended for kidney yin deficiency.
For individuals experiencing insufficient hardness, it is recommended to consult a qualified physician for comprehensive evaluation before deciding whether to take Liu Wei Di Huang Wan.
