What causes cold lower limbs in men?

The human body is a very complex structure, because it is affected by many factors, some of which cause a big problem for the whole body. Some physical diseases are mainly caused by the physical differences between men and women. Some men will find that their lower limbs feel very cold sometimes. When this problem occurs, many people will worry that there is something serious wrong with the body, and will take various ways to solve it, but it often aggravates these problems. So what are the reasons for the coldness of men's lower limbs?

1. What causes men's lower limbs to be cold?

Chinese medicine believes that cold lower limbs in men are caused by insufficient kidney yang. It is recommended to consult a Chinese medicine doctor, who will analyze the tongue, pulse and physical condition, prescribe medicine and regulate the treatment. Soak your feet in warm water more often to promote the circulation of qi and blood in the lower limbs.

2. Clinical manifestations of kidney yang deficiency

The waist and knees are sore and painful, the patient is afraid of cold and has cold limbs, especially in the lower limbs, the patient is listless, the face is pale or dark, the tongue is pale and fat with white fur, and the pulse is deep and weak. Or males may suffer from impotence, and females may suffer from uterine cold and infertility; or the patient may have prolonged loose stools, undigested food, and diarrhea at dawn; or swelling, especially below the waist, which is not felt when pressed, or even abdominal distension, swelling of the whole body, palpitations, coughing and wheezing.

Kidney Yang deficiency syndrome is generally diagnosed by low body function accompanied by cold symptoms. The waist is the home of the kidney, and the kidney governs the bones. When the kidney Yang is weak and cannot warm the waist and bones, the waist and knees will be sore and painful; it cannot warm the skin, so the patient will be afraid of cold and have cold limbs. When the Yang Qi is insufficient, the Yin and cold are strong in the lower body, especially in the lower limbs. When the Yang Qi is weak, the patient cannot warm the body and invigorate the spirit, so the patient will be listless and have a pale complexion. When the kidney Yang is extremely weak and the turbid Yin spreads throughout the skin, the patient will have a dark complexion. A pale, fat tongue with white fur and a deep, weak pulse are all signs of kidney Yang deficiency. The kidney is responsible for reproduction. When the kidney yang is insufficient, the fire of the gate of life is weak, and the reproductive function is reduced. Men will suffer from impotence, and women will suffer from uterine cold and infertility. When the fire of the gate of life is weak, the fire cannot generate earth, and the spleen loses its healthy function, so diarrhea will not stop for a long time, and the food will not be digested or diarrhea will occur at dawn. When the kidney yang is insufficient, the bladder's qi transformation function is impaired, and water is retained in the body, overflowing into the skin and causing edema; water and dampness flow downward, and the kidney is located in the lower part of the body, so the swelling below the waist is severe, and it is submerged when pressed; the water is rampant, blocking the qi, and the abdomen is swollen. The water vapor goes up against the heart and shoots into the lungs, so palpitations, coughs and asthma are seen.
