What are the symptoms of male yin deficiency?

People's constitutions can be good or bad. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the body can be either Yin-deficient or Yang-deficient. Especially for men, having a Yin-deficient constitution is particularly bad for the body. It will not only affect men's normal work and study, but also have a particularly serious impact on their daily life, especially making them feel listless. So what are the manifestations of a male Yin-deficient constitution? Let's learn more about it through the following introduction.
