Is impotence caused by kidney yin deficiency?

For healthy men, the biggest worry is impotence. If impotence is not solved in time, it will bring great instability to the whole family and may even lead to the breakdown of the family. However, many men choose to use kidney-tonifying methods to treat impotence. Is this method reliable? Is impotence caused by kidney yin deficiency?

Due to the influence of traditional customs, once a man suffers from impotence, he is considered to have kidney deficiency, so many patients abuse "impotence" drugs. However, many patients with impotence have not seen improvement in their symptoms after taking a large amount of impotence drugs, and have instead suffered side effects such as oral sores, gum bleeding, dry mouth and tongue. If impotence drugs are used in large quantities for a long time, they can also inhibit the excitement of the male hypothalamus-pituitary-testicular axis. Another danger is that they can aggravate male prostate hypertrophy or prostate cancer. For patients with impotence caused by hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, etc., taking warm and impotence drugs such as aconite and deer antler may even cause accidents.

There are many reasons for impotence, such as liver qi stagnation, qi and blood stasis, qi and blood deficiency, etc. Kidney yang deficiency is just one of them. Modern medicine also believes that impotence has multiple functional and organic classifications. Since the reduction of sex hormones is equivalent to what Chinese medicine calls kidney yang deficiency, it only accounts for a small part. For all kinds of impotence, the stereotyped use of kidney-tonifying and yang-strengthening treatment will certainly not achieve a good effect, and will also lead to some side effects. Therefore, it is not enough to take yang-strengthening supplements to improve sexual desire and treat impotence. The view that impotence must be caused by "kidney deficiency" must be corrected.

Regarding the question of whether impotence is caused by kidney yin deficiency, you should now know what is going on. If impotence is caused by kidney yin deficiency, you need to control your sexual intercourse and pay attention to eating some kidney-tonifying foods to regulate your body. If not, the above methods will not have any effect. Patients need to understand this.
