Kidney Yin deficiency or kidney Yang deficiency? This is definitely a correct judgment.

The kidneys are important organs in the human body and are particularly important to human health. Kidney deficiency is a health issue that many people are concerned about. Kidney deficiency can be divided into two types: kidney yang deficiency and kidney yin deficiency. Some health practices in daily life can also help us improve the symptoms of kidney deficiency. So how do we know whether it is kidney yang deficiency or kidney yin deficiency?

Kidney Yang Deficiency: Fear of cold as the main symptom

Kidney Yang deficiency may manifest as soreness or pain in the waist and knee joints, chills, fear of cold, cold limbs, especially in the lower limbs, dull pale or dark complexion, fatigue, listlessness, dizziness; clear and long urination, increased nocturia, weak urination, residual urine after urination, or edema due to little urine; or abdominal distension, diarrhea, watery stools with undigested food, some people have diarrhea at dawn every day; or loss of libido, impotence, premature ejaculation, spermatorrhea in men; infertility due to uterine cold, and clear and profuse vaginal discharge in women.

Kidney Yin deficiency: Main symptom: getting angry

We call people with kidney yin deficiency the "dry and hot group". They have signs of heat at the same time as kidney deficiency. People with kidney yin deficiency will experience soreness and weakness in the waist or knee joints, dizziness, tinnitus, deafness, insomnia, and weight loss; their palms, soles of feet and heart will feel hot, their body will feel hot in waves like the tide, they will sweat while sleeping at night (night sweats), their face and cheeks will be red, their mouth and throat will be dry and hard, and their urine will be scanty and yellow; men will have an erection (penis easily erect), nocturnal emission and premature ejaculation; women will have scanty menstruation, or even amenorrhea, or prolonged menstruation.

Qi and Yin Deficiency Syndrome: This type of person has both Yin and Qi deficiency symptoms

Yin deficiency means that there are signs of heat at the same time as kidney deficiency, such as hot palms and soles, hot and irritable heart, dry mouth and throat, short and yellow urine, dry stool, thin and red tongue, and little tongue coating. Symptoms of Qi deficiency include fatigue, shortness of breath, laziness to speak, spontaneous sweating (sweating when not sleeping or doing nothing), weak urination or residual urine after urination, and increased sweating during activity.

What to do with kidney deficiency?

Kidney deficiency is usually caused by excessive indulgence or long-term overwork. In most cases, as long as you get enough rest and recuperate for a period of time, you can slowly recover. For those with particularly severe symptoms, they need to seek medical attention promptly. Generally speaking, the following daily methods can help improve kidney deficiency:

1. Maintain a regular lifestyle. Go to bed early and get up early every day, and don’t stay up late.

2. Exercise more. Brisk walking is the best exercise. Walk briskly for half an hour every day until your body starts to sweat slightly.

3. Control your sexual desire. Don't masturbate or have sex excessively, but don't abstain from sex deliberately either.

4. Eat a balanced diet. Oysters, beef, animal offal, eggs, yam, fresh fruits and vegetables are all foods that are beneficial for warming the kidneys and strengthening yang.
