Is a man's kidney deficiency a yang deficiency or a yin deficiency?

As we all know, kidney deficiency is generally divided into two types, one is kidney yang deficiency, and the other is kidney yin deficiency. Many people may have misunderstandings about these two concepts, thinking that men are yang and women are yin, so male kidney deficiency is kidney yang deficiency. In fact, this understanding is wrong. The distinction between the two is different in symptoms, and this still needs to be correctly understood. So is male kidney deficiency yang deficiency or yin deficiency?

This cannot be generalized. Most of the cases in the early stage are due to excessive loss of kidney essence, which causes the Yang Qi to escape outward, resulting in symptoms of upper fire syndrome. At this time, Yin deficiency is the main problem, and the Qi is insufficient for a long time, resulting in weakness and lack of energy. This is deficiency of both Qi and Yin. Later, the Yin is damaged, affecting Yang, resulting in fear of cold limbs, indigestion, frequent and clear urination, and deficiency of both Yin and Yang.

You need to treat the difference between kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency correctly. Both kidney yang deficiency and kidney yin deficiency have symptoms of soreness and weakness in the waist and knees. The difference: kidney yang deficiency is a symptom of insufficient kidney yang qi and internal excess of deficiency cold; kidney yin deficiency is a symptom of insufficient kidney yin fluid and internal excess of deficiency heat.

Patients with kidney yang deficiency mainly experience coldness because of yang deficiency. In other words, they are particularly afraid of cold and do not like to stay in colder places with air conditioning. They cannot be exposed to the wind. Compared with normal people, they are prone to catching colds, especially in the lower limbs. It is recommended that such people do not wear shorts often, but wear long pants and keep warm. Patients with yang deficiency will also have a fat tongue, a thin tongue coating, and symptoms such as back pain and leg pain.

Patients with kidney yin deficiency mainly show symptoms of heat syndrome. Compared with normal people, they are particularly afraid of heat, thirsty, like to drink cold drinks, are easily irritable, have many dreams at night, sweat easily, and have tinnitus and other symptoms. It is recommended to eat some foods that are more nourishing to yin, such as black sesame, black beans, bitter melon, etc., but be careful not to eat foods like watermelon at night, so as not to get up to go to the toilet at night and affect sleep.

For different patients with kidney deficiency, their diet should be adjusted according to their own physical constitution. They must not take medicine randomly. Taking medicine randomly not only fails to cure the disease, but also causes harm to the body. If you can't judge what kind of kidney deficiency you have, you can find an old Chinese doctor to see.

Through the above introduction, everyone is very clear about whether men's kidney deficiency is yang deficiency or yin deficiency. Only by figuring out the specific type and condition of your own kidney deficiency can you be more targeted when nourishing and conditioning. Some people have been conditioning for a long time, but the effect is not good. This is related to not distinguishing the specific type.
