What are the manifestations of a man's kidney deficiency? It is probably the most undesirable thing for men to hear or experience.
Men with kidney deficiency often exhibit symptoms such as limb coldness, back pain, frequent nocturia at night, dizziness and tinnitus.
Men with kidney deficiency may experience symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, frequent urination, and a lack of libido. It is important to seek medical attention if you suspect these conditions.
What is kidney deficiency? What are the symptoms of a man with kidney deficiency? These are questions that men in particular pay close attention to and are the most curious about.
Now, let's take a look at what symptoms men with kidney deficiency might exhibit.
1. Cold Hands and Feet: Regardless of the clothing one wears, or whether it is winter or summer, there is always a sensation of coldness in the body. This often manifests as feeling too warm to snuggle into a blanket during winter, or feeling cold even under the scorching sun in summer.
2. Excessive Sexual Activity: According to traditional Chinese medicine, the kidneys store essence, and essence is stored in the kidneys. Excessive sexual activity can lead to the loss of essence, which may manifest as premature ejaculation symptoms, or even cause a condition known as "yang qi" (excessive libido).
At the same time, excessive sexual activity often leads to kidney deficiency, which is typically kidney yang deficiency.
3. Dizziness, weakness, and insomnia: According to traditional Chinese medicine, there is a significant connection between the kidneys and other organs. If these organs remain untreated for an extended period, they may cause harm to the kidneys, leading to kidney diseases, symptoms such as dizziness, weakness, and insomnia.
4. Asthma: From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the kidneys are the place for breathing in and out.
If the kidneys are not functioning properly and cannot effectively expel or inhale air, it can lead to respiratory obstruction.
As the condition worsens, it may lead to symptoms like colds and even more severe malignancies such as asthma.
5. Low Back Pain: Kidney deficiency can cause low back pain, but low back pain is not necessarily caused by kidney deficiency, as it is categorized into both external and internal causes.
From an internal perspective, it might be caused by inherent deficiencies or insufficient nutrition during pregnancy.
From an external cause, it might be caused by the work and life environment, such as prolonged sitting in front of computers.
6. Nocturnal Polyuria: Usually, there is no habit of needing to wake up at night. However, suddenly several times a night may be needed, or the volume of urine in the night may exceed that in the daytime. This condition is also known as nocturnal polyuria, and it could be an indication of kidney deficiency.
7. Dizziness and tinnitus: During the day, you feel lackluster and your ears buzz constantly, making it difficult to concentrate and relax. This condition is mostly caused by liver and kidney imbalances.
8. Constipation: Although the cause of constipation may be due to abnormal digestive function, the root cause still lies in kidney deficiency.
Because the kidneys open through the two yin and two yang, they govern the two bowels, thus constipation is also one of the main manifestations of kidney deficiency.
The causes of a man's kidney deficiency, also known as "kidney deficiency," refer to the loss of essence in the kidney.
TCM believes that kidney essence can nourish all five organs, and it is believed that deficiency of essence leads to disease.
This condition encompasses issues related to the kidney and the genitourinary system.
In modern society, most men are facing the predicament of kidney deficiency to some extent. So, what are the causes of male kidney deficiency? The causes of kidney deficiency in males can be summarized into two aspects: one is inherent deficiency due to insufficient prenatal endowment, and the other is caused by acquired factors.
Now, let's discuss the causes of the condition in detail.
1. The competition is harsh, and stress is overwhelming: Modern civilization has posed perplexities that have led many to endure significant psychological and physical pressures, resulting in exhaustion, debility, restlessness, irritability, and hyperactivity, as well as symptoms of kidney deficiency and brain deficiency such as insomnia, loss of appetite, fatigue, irritability, and neurosis.
2. Habitual Poor Lifestyle: Smoking, drinking alcohol, and a lack of regular sleep patterns, as well as excessive fatigue, can all lead to kidney damage and cause kidney deficiency.
3. Sexual desire: Bad habits such as excessive masturbation and frequent sexual intercourse can directly damage the kidney essence and lead to kidney deficiency.
4. Modern Pollution: Environmental pollution, air pollution, food contamination, nuclear radiation, noise pollution and other factors have caused many toxins to accumulate in the human body and threaten health.
For example, food contamination can result in the consumption of substances like hormones and fillers. After ingestion, this is equivalent to taking oral hormones, causing the adrenal glands not to produce or to produce less hormones over time. This can lead to the organ's atrophy or even shrinkage, resulting in many individuals experiencing decreased sexual function, premature ejaculation, and reduced penile size.
5. Abuse of Drugs: Modern people, when they have a disease, they immediately use medication. Many drugs can damage the kidneys, such as gentamicin, amikacin, and compound neomycin, etc. Additionally, the pesticides and fertilizers in food can directly damage the human kidneys.
Another mistake is the misuse of aphrodisiacs. In modern society, there are many aphrodisiacs sold in pharmacies, and doctors often resort to methods of tonifying kidney yang. This is extremely harmful to the human body. Patients are unaware, and many doctors are also unaware of the dangers of aphrodisiacs. For the human body, aphrodisiacs are like trying to light a lamp with little oil by forcefully using a matchstick—it only provides temporary relief. Once the oil runs out, sexual function is completely lost. I hope everyone will refrain from using them.
The harm of kidney deficiency to man. The kidney is a part of the urinary system, and in traditional Chinese medicine, it belongs to one of the five organs.
The kidneys are the foundation of innate constitution, serving as the fundamental basis of human life and playing a crucial role in survival and reproduction.
The abundance or deficiency of kidney qi not only reflects the health of the kidneys and related tissues but also represents the strength or weakness of one's vitality.
What are the potential harms of male kidney deficiency? 1. It imposes a significant psychological burden on individuals.
Excessive psychological stress and prolonged emotional stagnation can lead to patients losing their zest for life, becoming pessimistic and lethargic, and even developing psychological disorders.
2. Influencing marital affections.
Sex is the glue that binds a couple, making their relationship more harmonious and stable.
When a man suffers from kidney deficiency, it inevitably affects their marital relationship and fertility.
It can lead to a decrease in self-confidence, seriously affecting marital relationships and personal health. The harm caused by kidney deficiency can severely affect the relationship between spouses and even potentially result in the breakdown of marriage.
Insomnia, frequent dreaming.
The kidney, as one of the most important organs in the human body, nourishes and warms the other organs. If other organs are not healed for a long time, it will easily affect the kidney.
Many chronic diseases, such as chronic hepatitis, coronary heart disease, bronchial asthma, and hypertension, are often accompanied by symptoms of kidney deficiency.
4. Cognitive Domain: Decreased memory, diminished memory, impaired attention, lack of energy, and reduced work efficiency.
Emotional state: Feeling unwell, often unable to control emotions, dizziness, irritability, restlessness, anxiety, depression, etc.
In terms of willpower, I lack confidence and self-assurance, feel disengaged from my work, and have no passion for life. Without a clear goal or direction in life, I'm feeling lost.
Dietary therapy for kidney deficiency can be effective, but it may take a long time to see results for those with severe kidney deficiency.
On the other hand, dietary therapy for kidney deficiency is also as important as medication, and it requires differentiation in its use. Therefore, during the process of using it, one should seek advice from a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner to make appropriate choices.
Men with kidney deficiency should not take it lightly and must maintain good health through regular care. Here, I share some dietary methods for men with kidney deficiency.

There are many men who suffer from kidney deficiency due to poor lifestyle habits in their daily lives, leading to various bad habits that damage their kidneys. Today, I will compile some effective methods for kidney nourishment for you all. Let's take a look! 1. Adhere to the principle of quitting smoking.
A study at the University of Kentucky found that men with a 5 on the scale of 0-10, for erections, were smokers, while non-smokers had a 9.
Tobacco contains harmful substances that can damage blood vessels, causing the penis to lack elasticity.
Dr. Owen Goldstein, a urinary physician at the Boston University Medical Center, said that another study found that men who smoked had significantly smaller penises than non-smokers.
2. Accept the tubal ligation procedure.
If a man has fulfilled his role in procreation, then it might be worth considering an vasectomy.
Unplanned pregnancies are a significant cause of anxiety for many men.
This can affect male erections, further recursive effects on mood, and ultimately become a "emotional" killer.
3. Stay away from your lover.
A brief affair may often be followed by erectile dysfunction.
In fact, many doctors in the field of sexual medicine often advise patients that "secret affairs" can induce feelings of guilt, which may lead to anxiety and, consequently, erectile dysfunction (ED).
"Don't be too rough during sex."
More than one in three male ED patients have been injured.
In sexual activity, positions like "woman on top" and overly vigorous intercourse are factors that can pose risks to the intimate areas.
5. Walk or jog every day in moderation.
In men who sit for long periods of time, those who walk 2 kilometers daily have a half-the-risk of erectile problems.20 minutes of jogging or 30 minutes of strength training can also achieve the same effect.
6. Yawn more often.
Sneezing can induce the brain to produce nitric oxide.
It can reach the respiratory nerves, protect the cardiovascular system, and descend along the spinal cord to supply energy to the blood vessels that nourish the genital area.
The drug used to treat erectile dysfunction plays one of its functions by promoting the formation of nitric oxide in the body.
7. Ensure sufficient sleep.
After entering a state of deep sleep, the genital area remains in a prolonged erect state for 3 to 5 hours.
This is its way of self-maintenance, which can promote blood circulation.
From a functional perspective, the more frequently a man experiences nocturnal erections, the better his flexibility during sexual intercourse.
This ensures that men have a stronger erection during sexual intercourse.
"Perform a simple set of exercises every day."
Stand with your feet parallel, shoulder-width apart, and look straight ahead. Let your arms hang naturally by your sides, with your palms resting against the seams of your pants and your fingers naturally spread apart.
Lift your heels and take 9 consecutive breaths.
As you land with your heel, take a deep breath, and slowly bend your knees to squat down. As your hands move forward, gradually bringing the palms to meet your ankles; when they are close to the ground, exert some force to cinch them together (as if grasping something). Inhale deeply as you do so.
