Is constipation due to kidney deficiency normal? Introduction to treatment methods for constipation due to kidney deficiency

More and more people are suffering from constipation, but they don’t know the reason. In fact, sometimes it may be caused by kidney deficiency. Let’s take a look at the reasons below.

Is constipation due to kidney deficiency normal?

A very important function of the kidney is to "control defecation and urination", which means that the human body's defecation and urination are controlled by the kidney. If the kidney yang is weak and does not have the strength to push the stool downward, constipation will occur. This kind of constipation is called "virtual constipation", and the main symptoms are inability to defecate, fear of cold, clear and long urination, lower back pain and fear of cold, sometimes cold and painful abdomen, and a paler tongue than normal people with a white tongue coating.

This type of constipation belongs to kidney deficiency constipation, which is because the kidney yang deficiency cannot push the stool downward. The treatment requires warming yang to nourish the kidney and relieve constipation. You can also choose a dietary therapy method: 30 grams of walnuts, 30 grams of Cistanche deserticola, and 250 grams of polished rice. First, add water to the Cistanche deserticola to boil the juice, grind the walnuts, and add them to the polished rice, and cook the porridge with the juice.

There is another type of constipation caused by kidney deficiency, which is kidney yin deficiency. Kidney yin is the root of the body's yin fluid. When kidney yin is weak, the body's water is insufficient and cannot moisten the intestines, resulting in dry and unsmooth stools. Traditional Chinese medicine calls this type of constipation "a boat without water."

The symptoms of this type of patient include: dry and hard stool like sheep dung, emaciation, dizziness, tinnitus, heat in the five hearts, hot flashes and sweating, soreness in the waist and knees, a tongue that is thinner than normal, a red tongue, little or no tongue coating, and a very weak and fast pulse.
