Doctor, do I have kidney deficiency? Yang deficiency or Yin deficiency? This is one of the most common questions that every male doctor hears from patients during the clinical process. First of all, it is necessary to distinguish between the kidney in Chinese medicine and the kidney in Western medicine: the kidney in Chinese medicine is not just a tangible organ, it is the general term for the kidney and a series of functional activities associated with it; the essence of the kidney is generally divided into kidney yin and kidney yang, and kidney yin and kidney yang are interdependent and mutually restrained to maintain the dynamic balance of the body. And the kidney in Western medicine, refers to the organ of the kidney, the kidney can check the kidney function for examination. The second thing is that the kidney medicine is not an “aphrodisiac”. There are indeed some people in the clinic who appear to have reduced sexual function is caused by psychological factors, after eating kidney pills, sexual function improved, so have confidence, and thus think they are taking “aphrodisiacs”. In fact, kidney deficiency does not refer to sexual dysfunction alone, it is only one of the many manifestations of kidney deficiency. For patients with organic lesions of sexual dysfunction, especially arterial or venous impotence, the erection of the penis is limited by simply taking kidney tonics. The essence of Chinese medicine is to identify and treat, so the diagnosis of kidney deficiency is even more so; common kidney yin deficiency, often manifested as five heart bothering heat, waist and knee soreness, dizziness and tinnitus, body wasting, dry throat and cheek red, tongue red and less fluid, pulse thin; kidney yang deficiency, mostly manifested as white or black, waist and knee soreness and coldness, mental weakness, men impotence and premature ejaculation, urine loss and swelling, five more diarrhea, light fat tongue with white coating, pulse sinking, etc.; kidney qi deficiency, mostly manifested as waist Soreness and weakness of the knees, frequent and long urination, or incomplete residual draining, or nocturia, enuresis, seminal emission, pale complexion, fatigue, pale white tongue, weak or sunken pulse. Many people do not distinguish between yin and yang, kidney deficiency with six-flavored Dihuang Pills for kidney is wrong, six-flavored Dihuang Pills for kidney yin deficiency is effective, if the spleen and kidney Yang deficiency, poor digestion and absorption, with six-flavored Dihuang Pills can not supplement the kidney to help Yang, but cause loose stools, decreased libido, worse digestion. As you can see, patients who are not feeling well should not self-diagnose as kidney deficiency, not to mention self-administered kidney drugs, which are poisonous, even in Chinese medicine, and should follow medical advice to take the right kidney medicine. Please men out of the shadow of kidney deficiency; active exercise and maintain a good lifestyle, is the way to maintain health.
