Short duration of sexual intercourse, lasting only about five minutes. Is this due to kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency?

Short duration of sexual activity does not necessarily indicate kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency directly; it may be related to various factors including psychological stress, lifestyle habits, and physical condition. Kidney yin deficiency is mainly characterized by symptoms such as soreness and weakness of the lower back and knees, tidal fever, night sweats, dizziness, and tinnitus; whereas kidney yang deficiency typically presents with cold intolerance and cold limbs, cold pain in the lower back and knees, and frequent nighttime urination. In terms of sexual function, kidney yin deficiency may lead to reduced erectile function, while kidney yang deficiency may result in decreased libido. Therefore, to determine whether it is kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency, a comprehensive evaluation of the above symptoms and other related signs is necessary.

It is recommended to consult a doctor to rule out possible organic diseases or other health issues. If diagnosed with kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency, symptoms can be alleviated through regulation with traditional Chinese medicine, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle changes. Additionally, maintaining a positive mindset and reducing mental stress can also help improve sexual function.
