Doctors warn against excessive use of traditional aphrodisiacs among some young people in Matadi

In Matadi, doctors are concerned about the excessive use of traditional aphrodisiacs by young people seeking to improve sexual performance. These products, sold in markets, streets, and online, have unknown compositions and pose health risks. Doctor Georges Baka from Kinkanda Hospital states there is no medical evidence to support their efficacy and calls for stricter regulation. Motorbike taxi driver Fiston Bayekula says he uses them to compensate for fatigue, while traditional practitioner James Mutanda defends the remedies.
