What causes kidney deficiency in men? These reasons are unexpected!

In traditional Chinese medicine, the causes of kidney deficiency in men include congenital deficiency, acquired imbalance, excessive sexual intercourse, and lack of nutrition after illness, etc. However, many men do not know how these causes manifest themselves in life. Below, the editor will analyze the five major causes of kidney deficiency in men.

Often stay up late

Nowadays, there are many people who stay up late, especially young people. There are too many reasons to support them to stay up late, such as heavy workload and the need to work overtime to complete the work; the need for socializing, which is difficult to find time during work during the day, and the long night provides a rare opportunity; they are obsessed with football, as most football games are held at night; they prefer to surf the Internet, watch blockbusters, and play games... Partying every night and going to bed late every day, over time, they will have health problems such as dark circles under the eyes and mental fatigue. Once the Yin essence is depleted too much, it will cause overwork and kidney damage, causing many chain reactions.

Chronic mental tension and high stress in life

High pressure from work and life, long-term mental tension, can easily significantly reduce the body's resistance, causing the body to become vulnerable to the six external environmental evils of wind, cold, heat, humidity, dryness, and fire, which can damage the kidneys and body. At the same time, overwork consumes too much energy, which naturally damages the kidneys, which is also one of the reasons for kidney deficiency in men.

Frequent smoking and drinking

It is common sense that smoking hurts the lungs. The lungs are the master of qi, and the kidneys are the root of qi. The lungs control inhalation, and the kidneys control intake. In terms of breathing, the lungs and kidneys promote and coordinate each other. At the same time, the yin fluid between the lungs and kidneys also nourish each other. Lung yin deficiency can damage kidney yin, leading to kidney deficiency. Therefore, smoking is very harmful to the kidneys. In addition, drinking alcohol hurts the liver, and the liver and kidneys have the same origin. The liver stores blood, and the kidneys store essence. The fullness of kidney essence depends on the nourishment of liver blood. If the liver is damaged, it will naturally affect the kidneys. Therefore, frequent drinking is not conducive to nourishing the kidneys.

Sitting still for long periods of time

Sitting for a long time will put great pressure on the abdominal cavity, obstruct the blood circulation in the abdominal cavity and lower body, and affect the blood circulation of the whole body. In addition, the kidney meridian and the bladder meridian are exterior and interior to each other. Sitting for a long time will compress the bladder meridian, causing poor blood circulation in the bladder meridian, bladder dysfunction, and thus abnormal kidney function. This is the reason why sitting for a long time hurts the kidney. In addition, sitting for a long time will also cause a series of health problems such as frozen shoulder, cervical spondylosis, varicose veins, lumbar disc herniation, spondylitis, prostatitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. The sub-health problems that trouble young people are also related to sitting for a long time, so you should try to avoid sitting for a long time.

Frequent sex

Traditional Chinese medicine lists excessive sexual intercourse as an important cause of kidney deficiency, pointing out that excessive sexual intercourse can easily damage the kidneys and dissipate kidney qi. Excessive sexual intercourse often causes men to have problems such as nocturnal emission, impotence and premature ejaculation, and causes women to have symptoms such as irregular menstruation, metrorrhagia, leukorrhea, miscarriage and infertility. So, what kind of sex life is not considered frequent? This should vary from person to person, and is related to age, personality, physique, occupation, etc. Generally speaking, during the honeymoon period, young couples are in a good mood and have enough rest time, so once a day is also appropriate; healthy young couples, three times a week is appropriate; strong couples, one or two times a week is appropriate; middle-aged couples in their forties and fifties, once a week is appropriate. Of course, a reasonable standard is to not feel tired, physically and mentally happy, and full of energy the day after sex.
