Nowadays, the world’s advertisements are constantly promoting the concept of “nine deficiencies in ten men” and “kidney deficiency should be supplemented”, so that many men, as long as a bit of the symptoms of weakness in the waist and knees, they blame it on “kidney deficiency “Some people even search around for kidney supplements, but the result is a variety of physical injuries caused by blindly supplementing. This is mostly caused by the lack of correct understanding of kidney deficiency. What exactly is kidney deficiency? The term “kidney deficiency” is a unique term in Chinese medicine, and many people simply equate the “kidney” in Chinese medicine with the kidney in Western medicine, which is a common misunderstanding. The kidney is an organ of the urinary system in Western medicine, and its main function is to discharge the waste and excess water produced in the metabolic process of the body in a timely manner, and there is no difference between real and imaginary. It covers the reproductive, urinary, nervous, skeletal and other tissues and organs of the human body, and has the function of regulating human body functions and providing “vital energy” and “prime mover” for life activities. The role of “prime mover”. ”Deficiency” is mainly a condition of low function and lack of nutrition. Kidney deficiency can manifest itself as a series of symptoms of weakness due to the decline of the body’s functions, including both the subhealthy state before the onset, and the symptoms of weakness accompanied by chronic and wasting diseases and the symptoms of organ failure. Men, women and children can have kidney deficiency, and it is not the exclusive preserve of men. Chinese medicine classifies kidney deficiency as “kidney yin deficiency” and “kidney yang deficiency”. The manifestation of kidney yang deficiency is pale or sallow face, waist and knee cold, cold limbs, mental fatigue, weakness; impotence and premature ejaculation in men, infertility in women, loss of libido; unformed stools or frequent and long urination, nocturnal urination, light tongue with white coating. Kidney Yin deficiency, on the other hand, is characterized by redness, soreness and pain in the waist and knees, dizziness and tinnitus, loose teeth and hair loss; spermatorrhea and premature ejaculation in men, scanty menstruation or amenorrhea in women; insomnia and forgetfulness, dryness of the mouth and throat, irritability, sweating at every turn, redness of the cheekbones in the afternoon, emaciation, yellow urine, red tongue with little or no moss. To determine which type of kidney deficiency is the case, we need to go through the “four diagnoses and the reference” to make a comprehensive analysis. “Kidney deficiency” needs to be typed through the identification of evidence, in order to target the symptomatic treatment, do not indiscriminate kidney supplementation. Kidney deficiency is a manifestation of human aging, the elderly kidney deficiency is an irresistible physiological process caused by aging, called physiological kidney deficiency, while the middle-aged appear kidney deficiency is a sign of aging before aging, called pathological kidney deficiency. For middle-aged friends, to change the situation before aging, should be in the accurate identification of the type of kidney deficiency, timely and reasonable kidney supplementation, improve the symptoms of kidney deficiency aging. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things. There are many factors that affect male sexual performance, and Chinese medicine believes that blood stasis, liver depression, and damp heat can cause impotence. A survey of more than 700 patients with erectile dysfunction (impotence) showed that only 32.9% of them were caused by kidney deficiency. However, the concept of “nine deficiencies in ten men” is deeply rooted in the hearts of Chinese people, and some middle-aged people think that “sexual dysfunction is kidney deficiency”, which is a lack of correct understanding of “kidney deficiency” and one-sided The “kidney deficiency” is understood as “lower sexual ability”, but it adds unnecessary psychological burden to themselves, resulting in psychological impotence. A significant portion of men with erectile dysfunction is due to psychological factors, but there are no symptoms of kidney deficiency in the body. Blindly taking kidney supplement medication may be counterproductive. And, even if the body appears kidney deficiency, not only for the sexual function of the change, will include a series of pathological changes in other organs of the body, so you can not reduce sexual function simply attributed to the “kidney deficiency”, once heard of the kidney deficiency, like the enemy, think they can not, eat “kidney supplement The actual “aphrodisiac” drugs. The kidneys are just an important organ of the urinary system, not directly related to the strength of male sexual function. Some people have reduced sexual function, if you do not ask, abuse aphrodisiac tonic, not only can not solve the problem, and “medicine three points of poison”, but also bring harm to the body, increase the burden of the liver, kidneys, resulting in the imbalance of the body’s yin and Yang, appear other diseases. If hypogonadism is indeed caused by kidney deficiency, then the choice of kidney medicine should also be careful, Chinese medicine to supplement the kidney must be divided into yin and yang, depending on the time of year, depending on the person, depending on the place, according to the different seasons, physique and climate to choose different methods and drugs to supplement the kidney, preferably under the guidance of a doctor.
