Premature ejaculation refers to situations when men ejaculate right after or even before intercourse begins. There is no common definition on how long a normal duration should be, but 1 or 2 minutes or less is most likely not to satisfy both sexual partners.

Premature ejaculation is hardly considered as a disease and may be improved by mental adjustment in most cases. So far, there is no drug treatment approved by FDA.

Traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) have long considered premature ejaculation as a medical condition and deal it similarly with impotence because premature ejaculation often associates with or develops into impotence. Thus Chinese herbal medicines directed at impotence are generally applicable to premature ejaculation as well.

Premature ejaculation in TCM's terms often results from a weak function of the kidney if stress or anxiety is not the cause. A weak kidney means an insufficiency of Yin, Yang, or both. Yin and Yang are the essence of life and represent the womanish and mannish side of it respectively. Their robust interaction and balance forms the foundation of health. What Yin and Yang is in modern biomedical terms is not yet known. However, signs of Yin or Yang deficiency are well defined in TCM and the Chinese herbs that work efficiently to relieve them are well documented.

A sign for the kidney deficiency and its cause in premature ejaculation is the weakness and soreness of the lower back and knees. It typically worsens after sexuality or masturbation. Among the kidney deficiency, two patterns, Yin or Yang deficiency, are often observed.

In the Yang deficiency pattern, signs often include loss of sex desire or libido, cold feeling in the limbs even in the summer, lassitude, and/or pale face. YanVive^TM is the mostly recommended Chinese herbal remedy for the Yang-deficient premature ejaculation. Other Yang tonic Chinese herbal formulas include Cong Rong Bu Shen Wan and YounGain^TM.

In the Yin deficiency pattern, signs may include sweat, hay fever, dizziness, thirst, and/or tinnitus. The sex desire may be normal or even high but the erection is not firm. The most recommended Chinese herbal remedy for the Yin-deficient premature ejaculation are YinVive^TM or YinVive Cool^TM.
