Is it true that men have dark circles under their eyes due to kidney deficiency?

Dark circles under men's eyes are actually a very common phenomenon. Many people also say that this is a manifestation of kidney deficiency in men. So is this true? Do men with kidney deficiency really have dark circles under their eyes?

Dark circles under the eyes are actually caused by kidney deficiency

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that black color enters the kidney, so many people think that dark circles under the eyes are related to the kidney and are a manifestation of kidney deficiency. Indeed, in clinical practice, there are patients with dark circles under the eyes due to kidney deficiency, however, not everyone with dark circles under the eyes has kidney deficiency.

Overwork, staying up late for a long time, or makeup particles entering the eyelids, as well as eyelid injury causing subcutaneous bleeding, can all lead to metabolic dysfunction of the skin around the eyes, causing pigmentation to accumulate around the eyes. Varicose veins in the eye sockets or eyelids or long-term eyelid edema can cause venous obstruction and also cause dark circles under the eyes.

Chronic diseases causing dark circles

Some chronic diseases may also cause dark circles. For example, patients with chronic liver disease, especially those with abnormal liver function, often have dark circles that are difficult to disappear. People with recurrent chronic gastritis, which causes decreased digestion and absorption functions, often have dark circles under their eyes. In addition, arteriosclerosis, menopausal syndrome, physical weakness after a serious illness, nephritis, renal failure, respiratory failure, aplastic anemia, thrombocytopenic purpura, hypothyroidism, Cushing's syndrome, etc. can all cause microcirculation disorders around the eyes, resulting in blood stasis and causing dark circles under the eyes.
