Men's Qi and blood deficiency

Qi and blood deficiency does not only occur in women, but also in men. Many men do not know why they suffer from Qi and blood deficiency. In fact, there are many reasons for men's Qi and blood deficiency. Some are caused by malnutrition, some are caused by weak spleen and stomach that cannot absorb nutrients, and some are caused by indulgence in sex. Let's learn about them in detail.

1. What are the reasons for men's lack of qi and blood?

1. Insufficient diet

The internal organs of the human body are nourished by qi, blood and body fluids, which are transformed by the essence of food and water. Yu Chang of the Qing Dynasty said in his book "Medical Laws": "Eating more can produce blood, and eating less will not produce blood." If the amount of food eaten is insufficient and the person is hungry for a long time, the qi and blood will have no source of production, which will inevitably lead to blood deficiency. In addition, even if the amount of food eaten is sufficient, if one is greedy and picky about food, there will also be a lack of raw materials for blood production, resulting in insufficient sources of production, blood deficiency, and other diseases.

2. Weak spleen and stomach

The basic substances for the production of blood mainly come from the essence of water and grain produced by the spleen and stomach. The Neijing says: "The middle burner receives qi and takes juice, which changes and turns red, which is called blood." The Zhengzhi Zhunsheng says: "The spleen and stomach are the father of qi and blood." A strong spleen and stomach can transform the essence of water and grain into qi and blood. If the spleen and stomach are affected by improper diet or liver and gallbladder diseases, the spleen and stomach will be weakened, the essence will be insufficient, and there will be no source of production. After a long time, blood deficiency will occur. Blood deficiency can further cause dysfunction of other organs.

3. Excessive blood loss

Excessive blood loss from trauma or other chronic blood loss syndromes can cause blood deficiency syndrome. In addition, due to bleeding, blood stasis will occur over time, and the blood vessels will be blocked, which will cause rebleeding on the one hand and affect the production of new blood on the other hand, thereby aggravating blood deficiency.

4. Kidney Qi Deficiency

The kidneys store essence, essence produces marrow, and essence and marrow can be transformed into blood. If the congenital endowment is insufficient, postnatal malnutrition and excessive sexual intercourse can all cause kidney deficiency, and kidney deficiency means less essence, and deficiency of essence means deficiency of blood.

5. Overwork

Serious illness or prolonged illness consumes vital energy, or excessive sweating, vomiting, diarrhea, and bleeding damage yang energy and yin fluid; vigorous labor consumes energy and damages qi and blood, which over time leads to qi deficiency and blood deficiency; excessive mental work can easily lead to hidden depletion of yin blood and deficiency of heart blood, all of which can lead to blood deficiency.
