Spleen deficiency has severely impacted our lives and physical health. What exactly causes spleen deficiency? What is the cause of spleen deficiency? There are many reasons for spleen deficiency, with the most common being kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency.
The etiology of kidney deficiency is multifaceted, as many factors can lead to this condition. The main causes include: innate weakness, emotional imbalances, excessive sexual activity, long-term illness that damages the kidneys, and aging and physical decline.
1. Innate Deficiency: Due to insufficient essence from the beginning, it can easily lead to kidney deficiency.

Having children too many times, leading to excessive consumption of vital essence.
Or, during pregnancy, due to malnutrition or inadequate nourishment, leading to a deficiency in fetal Qi.
2. Disorder of the Qi and Mind: Contemplations and worries, causing damage to the heart and spleen, can lead to illness affecting the Yangming and Chong meridians.

Kidney deficiency can also lead to soreness and weakness in the lower back and knees, loss of appetite, insomnia, decreased immunity, neurasthenia, and suboptimal health conditions.
"Chronic Illness Affecting the Kidneys: The kidneys are considered the primary organ among the five major organs. If other organs are in a prolonged state of disease, it may also affect the kidneys, leading to kidney deficiency."
5. Aging and Physical Decline: The natural decline of kidney essence in the human body is inevitable, but the timing and rate of this decline depend on the individual's inherent constitution and whether proper care has been maintained. For those with a naturally weak constitution, coupled with habits such as smoking, drinking, and excessive sexual activity, the process of kidney essence depletion is likely to accelerate.
The causes of kidney deficiency in women in modern society are often related to the fact that many women have entered the workforce, experiencing prolonged mental stress and overworking. This can unknowingly disrupt the body's metabolic balance, leading to a state of energy depletion.
Women, compared to men, tend to have weaker yang energy. If they face excessive pressure from work and family, do not pay attention to avoiding cold and cooling foods in their diet, or work in environments with prolonged exposure to air conditioning, they are more prone to kidney deficiency, which can lead to premature aging.

Frequent late nights often deplete the body's energy and can easily lead to symptoms of kidney deficiency.
2. Excessive sexual activity.
If sexual activity is too frequent or too intense, it can lead to significant physical exhaustion, undoubtedly increasing the burden on the kidneys. Over time, this can result in kidney deficiency.
3. Prolonged sitting and lack of physical activity.
Spending prolonged periods of sitting without physical activity can lead to kidney deficiency.
Sitting in an office all day, without frequent movement, can easily lead to kidney deficiency.
4. Deficiencies in zinc and selenium can lead to kidney deficiency.
Kidney deficiency is closely related to the hypofunction of the neuroendocrine system. Deficiency in zinc and selenium can affect the function of endocrine glands, which over time may lead to kidney deficiency.
5. Excessive smoking and drinking.
Excessive smoking and drinking often lead to kidney deficiency.

Emotional instability, such as being prone to melancholy and depression, can lead to abnormal endocrine function, which can affect the normal operation of kidney function.
2. The poor office and living environments have caused kidney deficiency.
Environmental factors, such as the presence of harmful substances in the air, can induce immune dysfunction in various organs, including the kidneys.
Over time, it can lead to kidney deficiency.

Causes of Kidney Deficiency Besides congenital kidney deficiency and post-operative organ damage, the majority of kidney deficiency cases are due to poor daily living habits, resulting in kidney deficiency.
What are the daily life causes leading to kidney deficiency? What lifestyle habits need to be improved? 1. Excessive use of pain relievers: In daily life, long-term high doses of over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen, aspirin, and paracetamol can cause kidney damage.
2. Studies in clinical medicine have found that some traditional Chinese medicines can cause kidney damage, including: radix pterosteae (Typical), Phellodendron amurense, Semen Ptyscis, Semen Achilleae, Caryophyllus fruit shell, Rhizoma Sophorae Flavescentis, Semen Draconis, Curcuma aromatica, and Stephania tetrandra.
Among them, the damage to the kidneys caused by Tripterygium wilfordii is the largest, followed by Clematis chinensis.
3. Excessive consumption of beverages alters body pH levels. The excessive intake of soft drinks and sports drinks can indirectly damage the kidneys. The human body's pH level is around 7.2, which are generally highly acidic. Drinking these beverages significantly changes the body's pH levels.
4. Frequently consumed bread and pastries contain a food additive bromophthalein, which makes them soft and palatable, but excessive consumption can harm the central nervous system, blood, and kidneys.
Overeating on weekends: Rest days are packed with various gatherings, and these gatherings inevitably involve eating.
Eating too much of "delicious" food, most of which are excreted by the kidneys, undoubtedly increases the burden on the kidneys.
6. It is commonly believed that drinking strong tea after alcohol consumption can help alleviate the effects of intoxication. However, experts have found that consuming strong tea after drinking alcohol not only does not alleviate the effects but may also harm the kidneys.
Experts have said that the caffeine in tea can quickly affect the kidneys and exert a diuretic effect. At this time, alcohol has not yet had time to be further broken down before being excreted from the kidneys, causing the kidneys to be subjected to a large amount of ethanol stimulation, thereby damaging their kidney function.
7. Excessive Salt Intake: Hypertension caused by excessive salt consumption leads to a decline in kidney blood flow, potentially triggering kidney disease.
8. Frequent Urination: Some individuals, for various reasons such as work commitments or the absence of toilet facilities elsewhere, may experience prolonged periods of holding back urine.
Experts remind us that holding urine can lead to urinary tract infections and pyelonephritis.
Recurrent infections of this type can lead to chronic infection and are difficult to cure.
9. Drinking water insufficiently, if you do not drink enough water for a long time, the volume of urine will decrease, and the concentration of waste and toxins in urine will increase.
Clinical conditions such as kidney stones and hydronephrosis are closely associated with prolonged periods of inadequate water intake.
