Kidney deficiency may lead to sexual dysfunction, but it is only one of several possible causes. Sexual dysfunction can also be related to other factors such as psychological stress, chronic diseases, and medication side effects.
In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory, kidney deficiency is associated with dysfunction of the kidneys and may cause symptoms such as soreness and weakness in the lower back and knees, fatigue, low spirits, and sexual dysfunction. It is recommended to visit a qualified TCM institution for diagnosis and treatment.
Maintain a regular lifestyle, avoid excessive fatigue, exercise moderately, and strengthen your physical condition. Eat more kidney-nourishing and yang-enhancing foods such as black sesame seeds, walnuts, Chinese yam, and lamb, while reducing intake of spicy and irritating foods.
Especially avoid using so-called "aphrodisiac drugs" casually; medication should be taken under a doctor's guidance. If there is no improvement, timely medical consultation and comprehensive examination are recommended.
