In order to help men with ED have a correct understanding of the treatment, here are three points of caution. First, avoid self-diagnosis and treatment. First of all, due to the quality of intercourse and physical condition, psychological factors, husband and wife relationship is closely related to the occasional erection is not satisfied with the disease, do not easily doubt their own sexual ability, do not arbitrarily give themselves the hat of ED, ED this hat is like the Monkey King’s tightly banded spell, easy to take off, and do not take their own medication at will. Secondly, ED is divided into functional (psychological), organic and mixed (functional and organic both) three categories, only targeted treatment, in order to receive the desired results. Therefore, after suffering from ED, do not self-diagnosis and treatment, and can not listen to illegal advertising indiscriminate use of drugs, be sure to see a specialist in the hospital. The second taboo is too focused. Excessive joy, anger, worry, thoughts, sadness, fear, shock and other emotional changes are both susceptible or contributing factors to the occurrence of ED, but also maintenance factors. After suffering from ED, if too much attention to their own sexual function, such as every morning to observe whether there is an erection after waking up. Once one’s desired situation does not occur, one often suspects that one’s condition has worsened. This situation, if maintained for a long time, will often put themselves in a state of tension, fear, anxiety, low self-esteem, pessimism, disappointment, depression, loss of confidence in their own sexual recovery, aggravate the condition, which is the Chinese medicine men’s medicine said “due to the impotence of impotence, due to impotence to the depression”, so that the condition of the ED has become more complex. Therefore, after suffering from ED, do not pay too much attention to their own sexual function, in addition to strictly comply with the doctor’s instructions for treatment, should relax, let nature take its course. Sometimes, once you put down the burden of thought, the machine will instead slowly turn on. Three taboo abuse of tonic drugs. From the perspective of Western medicine, there are many causes of ED, including functional factors, organic factors and mixed factors. Among them, the organic factors are hypertension, ischemic heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, diabetes and so on. From the point of view of Chinese medicine, in modern social conditions, the main pathologic basis of ED is the excessive change of emotions and feelings, and the general law of pathogenesis is that there is more solid than deficiency, and the pattern of symptomatic manifestation is that there is more solid evidence and less deficiency, and that there is more yin deficiency and less yang deficiency. Therefore, there are very few types of ED that need to be treated clinically with tonic, kidney tonic, and kidney tonic methods. How indiscriminate indiscriminate use of tonic methods of treatment, not only will not restore sexual function, sometimes on the contrary, it will cause adverse consequences. Such as hypertension, diabetes caused by ED, indiscriminate use of kidney tonic and aphrodisiac products, often make the blood pressure, blood sugar rise, change evidence cluster, worsening the condition. Therefore, after suffering from ED, do not abuse the method of treatment, especially do not abuse kidney tonic aphrodisiacs. Even if the ED is really weak viscera or kidney yang deficiency caused by, but also in the doctor’s guidance under the use of drugs.
