JAKARTA - Sexual problems, especially resilience during sex, are still common complaints experienced by many men. In order to improve performance in bed, not a few of them choose instant roads, one of which is by consuming strong herbs. However, this step turns out to save serious health risks.

A well-known sexologist, dr. Boyke Dian Nugraha, reminded that careless use of strong herbal medicine can have a negative impact on the body, especially if the products consumed do not have a permit from the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM).

In one of the sex education sessions delivered through the TikTok @klinikpasutri account, dr. Boyke expressed his concern.

"Is it dangerous if every time you want to have a husband's relationship, you always drink herbal medicine? Duh, it's still a day to be strong drinking herbal medicine," he said.

He explained that unstandardized consumption of herbal medicine can cause damage to vital organs such as the kidneys. According to him, the impact is not only on health, but can also damage your partner's relationship due to loss of sexual ability due to organ damage.

"If you drink herbal medicine for a long time, the kidneys are damaged. If you damage your kidneys, you regret it, your husband has to wash your blood. You also regret it because he can no longer give you satisfaction," he explained.

Therefore, dr. Boyke suggested that people be more careful in choosing strong herbal products. He suggested that if you want to consume herbal medicine, it is better to make yourself at home with materials and doses that are known to be safe.

"So even if you want to drink herbal medicine, then of course you make your own medicine at home with a trusted dose. But the herbs that are usually circulating on the market are also often absent from the BPOM, instead it is added with drugs that contain harmful chemicals," he added.

Dr. Boyke also reminded that several strong herbs do have an instant erectile effect, but the risk can be very large.

What was attacked? Maybe he had a good erection, his penis was hard, but his hard kidney penis was damaged. Want it like that? Don't you want it? Yes, you don't have to wear herbal medicine," he said.

As a healthier solution, dr. Boyke emphasized the importance of a healthy lifestyle as the key to improving sexual performance naturally.

Starting from a good diet, getting enough sleep, exercising regularly, to managing stress are safer and more sustainable steps.

"To be strong, you just live a healthy lifestyle, namely a diet, a sleep pattern. Eat avoid fried food, salt, then sleep enough, exercise 30 minutes per day, then stress management," he explained.

With this education, dr. Boyke hopes that people can be wiser in maintaining their sexual health without sacrificing other organs, especially the kidneys.
