Hello, sir: The stimulation before an erection, if strong enough, will increase hardness.
I am not familiar with traditional Chinese medicine.
I suggest that you first undergo relevant examinations to see if the hardness is sufficient.
If there are any unclear points, feel free to ask again, and we can discuss and research further.
Answers found online should only be used as a reference; if necessary, it is still important to seek medical attention at a healthcare facility.

More Info
When it comes to penis care and enhancing sensitivity, there are several effective tips and practices that can help improve overall sexual health and function. It's important to approach this topic with an understanding of both physical and psychological factors that can influence erectile function and sensitivity.
1. Understanding Sensitivity and Erection Quality
Erection quality can be influenced by various factors, including blood flow, nerve function, and hormonal levels. Sensitivity, particularly in the glans (the head of the penis), can also be affected by factors such as skin health and nerve endings. If you are experiencing issues with achieving or maintaining an erection, it is crucial to consult a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying medical conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular issues, or hormonal imbalances.
2. Lifestyle Changes
- Diet: A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins can improve overall health and blood circulation. Foods high in antioxidants, such as berries and nuts, can help protect blood vessels. Additionally, foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (like fish) can improve blood flow.
- Hydration: Staying well-hydrated is essential for overall bodily functions, including sexual health. Dehydration can lead to reduced blood volume and affect erectile function.
- Exercise: Regular physical activity can enhance blood circulation, improve cardiovascular health, and boost testosterone levels, all of which are beneficial for erectile function. Kegel exercises, which strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, can also help improve erectile quality.
- Avoiding Smoking and Excessive Alcohol: Smoking can impair blood flow, while excessive alcohol consumption can lead to erectile dysfunction. Reducing or eliminating these habits can significantly improve sexual health.
3. Penis Care
- Hygiene: Maintaining proper hygiene is crucial. Regular washing with mild soap and water can prevent infections and maintain skin health. Avoid harsh soaps or chemicals that can irritate the sensitive skin of the penis.
- Moisturizing: If the skin on the penis is dry or irritated, using a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer can help maintain skin health. Some men find that using a specialized penis cream can enhance sensitivity and comfort.
- Gentle Stimulation: Engaging in regular, gentle stimulation can help increase sensitivity over time. This can include masturbation or using sex toys designed for sensitivity enhancement.
4. Herbal Remedies
While some individuals may seek herbal remedies to enhance sensitivity or erectile function, it's essential to approach this with caution. Some commonly mentioned herbs include:
- Ginseng: Often touted for its potential to improve energy and sexual function.
- Maca Root: Believed to enhance libido and sexual performance.
- Ginkgo Biloba: Thought to improve blood circulation, which may help with erectile function.
However, the efficacy of these herbs can vary, and it's crucial to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any herbal supplements, as they can interact with medications or have side effects.
5. Consulting a Professional
If you are experiencing persistent issues with erectile function or sensitivity, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional. They can provide a thorough evaluation and recommend appropriate treatments, which may include medications, therapy, or lifestyle modifications.
Conclusion
Enhancing sensitivity and maintaining penis health involves a combination of lifestyle changes, proper care, and possibly herbal supplements. It's essential to prioritize overall health and seek professional guidance when necessary. Remember, sexual health is an integral part of overall well-being, and addressing any concerns with a qualified healthcare provider can lead to improved outcomes.
