The symptoms of swollen legs and stomach can occur with either kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency, but swollen legs and stomach can also be related to strenuous exercise or overwork.
Kidney-Yin deficiency may be manifested by five heart-heat (heat in the heart of the hands and feet, and self-consciousness of heart and chest heat), hot flashes (bursts of heat), night sweating (abnormal sweating after going to sleep, and sweating stops after waking up), lumbar-knee pain and vertigo and tinnitus.
Kidney-Yang deficiency may manifest as lumbar and knee soreness (a feeling of soreness and weakness in the waist and knees), impotence, premature ejaculation, lack of warmth in the limbs, and fear of cold.
Both kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency may cause soreness of the waist and knees, and both may lead to swollen legs and stomach, but swollen legs and stomach are not necessarily kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency, but may also be related to strenuous exercise or excessive fatigue.
If you exercise strenuously, your legs and stomach may become swollen, painful and sore. Physiological factors caused by the swelling of the legs and stomach do not require special treatment, usually can be relieved on their own.
Specific etiology analysis, we recommend that you consult a doctor, and follow the doctor’s instructions.
