Men don't necessarily need to nourish their kidneys to improve their sexual performance

There are usually only two reasons why a husband has no interest in sex: either he is having an affair or he is not in good health.

Especially for those who are in their 30s and 40s, the heavy pressure from work and life makes them physically and mentally exhausted. It is a luxury to have a good sleep and a sweet dream. How can they have extra thoughts to "roll in the sheets" with their wives? However, the problem must be solved. When sexual function declines, many people first think of nourishing the kidneys and strengthening yang.

But, does strengthening the kidneys necessarily mean strengthening the kidneys? No.

Decreased libido can be mistaken for kidney deficiency

The closer you get to 40, the more pressure men face. With elderly parents and young children to take care of, and family members to take care of, and work to do, the internal and external worries often lead to mental and physical exhaustion, physical decline, and sexual function is also affected. Loss of interest in sex is a typical manifestation. Many wives will find that their husbands, who used to have sex every two or three days, now do not ask for it for ten days or half a month. When they go to bed, they just watch TV, play with their mobile phones, and some even fall asleep as soon as they touch the pillow. They are far less energetic than before.

Is the husband's kidney weak? If there is no sign of infidelity, this is the most likely reason for the wife to think of. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the kidney stores sperm and controls reproduction", and reproduction and sex are closely related. Therefore, in the understanding of ordinary people, if there is a problem with sexual function, it is natural to infer that it is kidney deficiency. From the perspective of ancient Chinese medicine, it was also believed that "there is no actual evidence of kidney disease", and the main pathological factor is consumption. Excessive consumption is deficiency, so men should abstain from sex and preserve sperm, otherwise there will be a crisis of "impotence".

Evidence also leads to sexual dysfunction

Professor Zhou Shaohu, director of the Department of Reproductive Medicine at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, said that sexual dysfunction is not necessarily a deficiency syndrome, and excess syndrome can also have an impact on it.

For example, modern Chinese medicine believes that modern people have excessive nutrition, an overly comfortable living environment, and little exercise, which leads to qi stagnation and blood stasis, and poor blood circulation, which are common clinical pathogenic factors. This can be indirectly proved by the effectiveness of Viagra in treating impotence. Since Viagra mainly dilates blood vessels, when the qi and blood flow smoothly, the symptoms will be eliminated. In addition, fierce competition in the workplace and too much pressure in life and work often cause men to have liver qi stagnation and bad mood, which is also a cause of sexual dysfunction including decreased libido. In addition, men who often drink alcohol and stay up late are prone to form a damp-heat constitution, which will also cause problems with sexual function.

Improving sexual function cannot rely solely on supplements

Zhou Shaohu said that many people think that strengthening the yang requires nourishing the kidneys, and they use deer antlers, Korean ginseng, deer penises, and sea lion penises at random. However, the result is that the medicine is not suitable for the disease, but brings greater physical problems and psychological burdens. In fact, some patients with sexual dysfunction need nourishing, some need to soothe the liver, some need to activate blood circulation, and some need to clear heat. It is necessary to identify the constitution and treat according to syndrome differentiation to achieve the effect. If you nourish what should be cleared of heat, it will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire and make the damp heat more severe; if you need to "resolve stasis", the more you nourish, the more stasis you may get.

At the same time, it is not enough to rely on medicine and supplements alone. Most patients also need to adjust their lifestyle and pace of life and exercise appropriately. Experts believe that sometimes, instead of expecting to become a "steel man" by drinking one or two bowls of stew, it is better to play two games of ball, which is more effective in improving physical vitality and increasing sexual excitement.

A wife's support and comfort is important

One thing women often overlook is that psychological suggestion has a great impact on men in their sexual lives. Some men have no physical problems, but are often complained and scolded by their wives in bed, saying things like "Why can't you do it?", "I feel so uncomfortable?", "You have kidney deficiency" and so on. Over time, this can easily lead to sexual dysfunction. On the contrary, if a man is always praised by his wife, saying "You are great" and "I like it so much", he will definitely be super confident and show his "manliness" in his sexual life.

As an American sexologist said, "The husband is the wife's sexual enlightenment teacher, and the wife is the husband's best sex therapist." At the beginning, it is the husband who guides the wife into sex and enjoys the "joy of love and water", but then, to keep this joy for a long time and let the husband "remain vigorous", the key lies in the wife. The wife's understanding, cooperation, support and encouragement are often the husband's best "aphrodisiac", while the wife's complaints, ridicule and ridicule are only more poisonous than poison.

Mr. Zhou said that even if the husband has sexual dysfunction, the wife should not be too anxious and force the husband to see a doctor or take medicine. You can increase nutrition appropriately and help him change some bad living habits. If it still doesn't work, then go to a specialist doctor in a regular hospital for treatment.
