Is a man “impotent” if he has weak kidneys?

Many people often confuse kidney deficiency and impotence, in fact, impotence is not always caused by kidney deficiency. Back pain is not a symptom of kidney deficiency, men should not take supplements indiscriminately. Impotence is not all caused by kidney deficiency In many people’s traditional concept, whenever I hear that men are not good at housework, sexual function decline and other problems, like to buckle to others “kidney deficiency”, “kidney loss” “hat! “, some of the grandchildren eager old man even often give their son into the diet of aphrodisiacs and kidney tonic Chinese medicine. Clinical often encounter similar patients to the clinic. Due to the influence of traditional understanding, many people think that the decline in sexual function is absolutely related to kidney deficiency. Some of the patients with erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, or even infertility do have kidney deficiency, but this is only a small percentage of the population. Many people’s sexual dysfunction is caused by other diseases, including psychological problems, inflammation, and vascular problems caused by hypertension and diabetes, as well as congenital malformations… …If sexual dysfunction caused by all these reasons is attributed to kidney deficiency, leaving the real cause untreated and abusing tonic medicines, it will only achieve the opposite effect. Kidney deficiency is categorized into three types in Chinese medicine: kidney yang deficiency, kidney yin deficiency and kidney qi deficiency. Even if the sexual dysfunction is caused by kidney deficiency, it would be inappropriate to blindly take supplements without identifying which kind of kidney deficiency is involved. Because some of the “Yin Sheng” patient is absolutely can not use “Meng medicine” bad tonic, otherwise harmful to the body. And the epiphyllum, antler and other warm, aphrodisiacs due to hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease caused by impotence of the patient, and even cause accidents. In addition, although some patients show symptoms of kidney deficiency, such as reduced sexual function, back pain, etc., but also mainly because of work, lack of exercise and irregular work and rest and other lifestyle problems, as long as the adjustment over, there is no need to take medication. Back pain is not necessarily kidney deficiency Many patients often back pain, nocturia and kidney deficiency linked together, and some doctors do not identify, to cater to the patient’s psychology and cast “tonic kidney aphrodisiac” drugs, the result is that the patient appeared to be “on fire” phenomenon: Impatience, boredom and irritability, or even bloodshot eyes, fatigue, fatigue, false sexual excitement, intercourse is easy to excitement and not durable. In fact, in addition to back pain is a kidney problem, more often than not may be lumbar muscle strain and other diseases; similarly, frequent urination at night, young people may be prostatitis, while middle-aged and elderly men may be prostate hypertrophy. The symptoms of these diseases and kidney deficiency may be somewhat similar, but the treatment methods are completely different, so it is best to go to the hospital for examination and accurate diagnosis before treatment. Kidney deficiency is not a kidney problem Although the concept of “kidney deficiency” in traditional Chinese medicine is filled with many drugs, health care products ads, but many patients did not distinguish between kidney deficiency in the end how it is. In fact, Chinese medicine said “kidney” is not Western medicine “kidney organ”, but a broad range of its functions scattered in the endocrine, urinary, reproductive and other systems, clinical diagnosis and treatment is still based on a combination of overall and local symptoms, in order to reach a conclusion. In other words, kidney deficiency does not mean that the kidneys have any disease; on the contrary, most of the patients with kidney deficiency do not have obvious organic changes in the structure of the kidneys or other organs. According to Chinese medicine, the kidneys store essence, they are the main source of water, they are the main source of bone, they are the main source of qi, they open the orifices of the ears, and they are responsible for the function of the two bowels of the kidneys. This shows that the importance of the kidney function in Chinese medicine is far more than that in Western medicine. Let’s talk about the kidney’s storage of essence, which means that the basic substance of life is hidden in the kidney, which is divided into innate essence and acquired essence, both of which are combined and stored in the kidneys, supplying the human body with the needs of growth, development and reproduction. At puberty, the essence of the kidneys begins to flourish, women have menstruation, men excrete semen, and the sexual function matures, all of which are related to the essence of the kidneys. With the aging of the human body, the essence of the kidneys gradually attenuate, sexual function decreases or even disappears. Therefore, when people are weak, age, to the fall of the sick, the human body’s essence is also natural insufficient, out of the problem, as long as attention to rest and maintenance, “disease” will automatically disappear, there is no need to take medication or supplements.
