Kidney deficiency is common in men, but the causes of kidney deficiency are not one. Traditional Chinese medicine often talks about kidney deficiency. What exactly is it? Don't assume that a problem with sexual function is kidney deficiency, and then make up for it in disorder.
Traditional Chinese Medicine Tells You What Is Kidney Deficiency
"Kidney deficiency" is a unique term in traditional Chinese medicine. Many people equate the "kidney" in traditional Chinese medicine with the anatomical kidney in Western medicine, which is a common and common misconception. In Western medicine, the kidney is an organ that constitutes the urinary system. Its main function is to promptly expel waste and excess water generated during the metabolic process of the body from the body, without any distinction between excess and deficiency. The understanding of "kidney" in traditional Chinese medicine is mainly from a functional perspective, covering multiple tissues and organs of the human body such as reproduction, urinary tract, nerves, and bones. It has the function of regulating human functions and providing "vitality" and "motive force" for life activities.
"Deficiency" mainly refers to a condition of low function and nutritional deficiency. Kidney deficiency can manifest kidney related functional decline, which can be reflected in a series of debilitating symptoms resulting from decreased human function, including pre onset sub health conditions, as well as chronic and consumptive diseases accompanied by debilitating symptoms and symptoms resulting from organ failure. Men, women, old and young may have kidney deficiency, which is not exclusive to men.
Kidney deficiency can be divided into two types
Traditional Chinese medicine divides kidney deficiency into two types: "kidney yin deficiency" and "kidney yang deficiency". The manifestations of kidney yang deficiency are pale or swarthy complexion, cold waist and knees, cold limbs, mental fatigue, and overall fatigue; Male impotence, premature ejaculation, female infertility, decreased libido; Irregular or frequent urination, clear and long stools, frequent nocturnal urination, and pale tongue coating. The manifestations of kidney yin deficiency are reddened complexion, sore waist and knees, dizziness, tinnitus, and loose teeth; Male ejaculation, premature ejaculation, and women with oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea; Insomnia and forgetfulness, dry mouth and throat, irritability, frequent sweating, red cheekbones in the afternoon, emaciated body, yellow and little urine, red tongue with little or no fur.
To determine which type of kidney deficiency is, it is necessary to undergo "four diagnoses and participation" through observation, interrogation, and comprehensive analysis before determining. "Kidney deficiency" requires dialectical classification to provide targeted treatment, and it is strictly prohibited to randomly replenish the kidney. Kidney deficiency is a manifestation of aging in the human body. Kidney deficiency in the elderly is an irresistible physiological process caused by aging, called physiological kidney deficiency, while kidney deficiency in middle-aged people is a sign of premature aging, called pathological kidney deficiency. For middle-aged friends, to change the condition of premature aging, it is necessary to timely and reasonably replenish the kidney and improve the symptoms of kidney deficiency and aging on the premise of accurately identifying the types of kidney deficiency.
Kidney deficiency should not be randomly replenished
The kidney is only an important organ of the urinary system, and has no direct connection with male sexual function. When some people experience sexual dysfunction, there is no need to tonify the kidney at all. "If people who do not need to tonify the kidney do not care about the indiscriminate use of aphrodisiac tonics, they not only cannot solve the problem, but also can cause harm to the body, increase the burden on the liver and kidneys, leading to the imbalance of yin and yang in the human body, and other diseases.". If sexual dysfunction is indeed caused by kidney deficiency, the selection of kidney tonifying drugs should also be cautious. In traditional Chinese medicine, kidney tonifying drugs should be divided into yin and yang, and should vary according to time, person, and region. Different kidney tonifying methods and drugs should be selected according to different seasons, physiques, and climate, preferably under the guidance of a doctor.
