Patients with kidney yang deficiency due to over-indulgence generally need to abstain from sex for 2-3 months, or even 6 months before they can recover. The duration of abstinence is mainly determined by the patient’s physical condition and specific medical condition. Kidney Yang deficiency is mostly caused by Yang deficiency in the body, or by kidney deficiency in old age and excessive sexual activity. The main clinical manifestation is a pale tongue and pale face, fear of cold and other symptoms. Most men have kidney deficiency caused by excessive sexual life. If the symptoms are mild, they can gradually recover by prohibiting sexual life for 2-3 months. If the patient’s symptoms are more severe, abstinence for about 6 months is usually recommended, as well as taking the appropriate Chinese medicine to promote recovery. While abstaining from sex, patients should eat a light diet with less spicy, stimulating and oily foods, and they need to do proper physical exercise, maintain a good mood and divert their attention appropriately.
