Is frequent nocturia due to kidney deficiency? After reading this, you will understand

A typical change in human aging is waking up more frequently, which is more accurate than any other changes in body parts to indicate that you are getting old, because urination is a symptom of kidney deficiency in traditional Chinese medicine. If from the principles of Western medicine, the kidneys are rich in blood vessels, and when the human body is lying flat, the kidneys bear more blood than when standing upright. Once kidney function decreases, urine will significantly increase, especially at night when lying flat, while aging occurs, The function of the kidneys will also decrease.

One of the functions of the kidneys is concentration function, because from an evolutionary perspective, humans have evolved from aquatic organisms to terrestrial organisms. One change in evolution is that humans can preserve water, and the concentration function of the kidneys is one of the results of this evolution. Once aging or deficiency occurs, concentration function decreases, and urine becomes thinner and more abundant.

This is most common at both ends of life. One is a young child who wets the bed at night, and the other is an elderly person. Although they are young, their body may decline prematurely due to various reasons, which can be manifested in the problem of excessive sleep. In traditional Chinese medicine, it belongs to kidney deficiency. Children are deficient in kidney qi because their bodies have not yet grown, while elderly people are deficient in kidney qi.

We often say that someone is scared to urinate because they suddenly experience urinary incontinence, which belongs to acute kidney deficiency. According to traditional Chinese medicine, "panic damages the kidney". Huge fright can reduce the control of the cerebral cortex, including the control of urination. This kind of frightened urination is similar to the mechanism of children's bed wetting at night. The latter is that the cerebral cortex is not fully developed, and both the concentration function of the kidney and the control function of the cerebral cortex belong to the kidney in traditional Chinese medicine, so the kidney in traditional Chinese medicine is not located, Kidney deficiency refers to a decline in physiological function. This is also why traditional Chinese medicine starts with tonifying the kidneys, whether it is treating bedwetting or treating children with intellectual disabilities, or even elderly people with excessive nocturia. Wuzi Yanzong Pill also has a gentle therapeutic effect on memory impairment caused by kidney deficiency.
