Dr. Cao Zhiqiang

Excessive masturbation can easily damage the penile corpus cavernosum and disrupt the function of the reproductive system, leading to erectile dysfunction. Excessive masturbation causes repeated congestion of the sexual organs, affecting local blood circulation and nerve regulation, resulting in difficulties achieving or maintaining an erection. An integrated treatment approach combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine can comprehensively regulate the body. Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on overall body regulation, while Western medicine often targets specific symptoms and works more rapidly.

Strictly follow medical advice regarding dosage and timing when taking both Chinese and Western medications. Traditional Chinese medicine generally works more slowly but emphasizes overall regulation, whereas Western medicine may improve localized symptoms in a shorter time; the two approaches complement each other. It is essential to abstain from the harmful habit of masturbation during treatment, reduce sexual stimulation, and avoid further burdening the reproductive system.
