Many male friends, as they age and face increasing life pressures, experience a decline in function. At this point, they may think that tonifying the kidneys is sufficient, but why is it that for most people, tonifying the kidneys has little effect?
In fact, it is because the kidneys, liver, and spleen are closely related and interact with each other. When the spleen is deficient, the qi and blood in the body gradually decrease, while quietly undermining the kidneys and liver, making it more difficult to improve issues like "premature ejaculation" and "erectile dysfunction." Traditional Chinese medicine states that "the kidneys govern storage," "the liver governs free flow," and "the spleen is the source of qi and blood production." Many people overlook spleen deficiency, but it is the "logistical support" of our body.
A patient was seen in the outpatient clinic who reported feeling generally fatigued, lacking energy when speaking, experiencing diarrhea and loose stools after consuming cold foods, having poor erectile hardness, occasional premature ejaculation, and a yellowish complexion.

It should be noted that the above prescription is a "reference framework." Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners need to adjust the dosage and ingredients based on individual tongue coating and pulse conditions. Self-medication may be ineffective or even worsen the problem. If you have related concerns, it is recommended to seek a "face-to-face consultation" with a licensed traditional Chinese medicine practitioner at a formal hospital to develop a personalized treatment plan.
