What are the manifestations of female Yin deficiency constitution?

Most female friends often experience irregular menstruation, insomnia, nightmares and hair loss. In fact, this is all caused by Yin deficiency in the body. There are many reasons for this, including certain genetic and dietary factors. Many people do not understand what Yin deficiency is. Let us now learn about the specific manifestations of Yin deficiency in women.

1) Chloasma appears on the face: Kidney yin is insufficient and cannot moisturize the skin. Butterfly-shaped pale yellow, yellow-brown or light black patches often appear on the cheekbones with clear boundaries, and are often accompanied by irregular menstruation (small menstrual volume or even amenorrhea).

2) Dark circles under the eyes: In TCM theory, black represents the kidneys. Dark circles under the eyes indicate kidney deficiency. Not only kidney deficiency, but also many other organs are diseased. Over time, it will affect the normal functioning of the kidneys. Physical weakness will lead to spleen deficiency, which will slowly form dark circles.

3) Irregular menstruation: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that only when the kidney qi is abundant can the qi and blood be balanced. The menstrual cycle can only function normally when the Chong and Ren meridians are functioning properly, so insufficient kidney qi is an important cause of irregular menstruation. Those caused by kidney yin deficiency are often accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness, physical weakness, weakness in the waist and legs, and lower abdominal distension and pain.

4) Low back pain: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the waist is the home of the kidneys". Kidney deficiency can manifest as low back pain, which is characterized by dull pain after fatigue.

5) Liver and kidney yin deficiency can also lead to poor hair growth and easy hair loss. Patients often also have symptoms such as red complexion, dizziness and tinnitus, loose teeth and hair loss, decreased menstruation or amenorrhea, insomnia and forgetfulness, dry mouth and throat, irritability, sweating, and weight loss.

Female friends with Yin deficiency constitution should pay attention to their daily diet and daily life, eat more fruits, such as pears, apples, watermelons, etc., and do not overwork themselves. If the situation is serious, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up and receive targeted treatment. Such patients are not suitable for working for a long time under the sun, as severe cases may affect their fertility.
