My son is 20 years old and has a three-year history of masturbation. He is particularly sensitive to cold in winter, with cold hands and feet and easy sweating. He shivers easily when it’s cold or when he’s nervous. His urine is yellow and incomplete, his waist and knees are sore and tired, and he now has mild impotence and premature ejaculation. He doesn’t have morning erection, his memory is poor, and he has difficulty digesting food. How should he be treated?

Answer: Masturbation itself does not cause much harm to teenagers. The main issue is the traditional concept that “one essence equals ten bloods,” which creates tremendous psychological pressure on masturbators. They spend all day in endless regret, eventually developing severe autonomic nervous system dysfunction. From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, the symptoms you describe are kidney deficiency. The treatment method is to help your son let go of his mental burden and start by taking Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan.
