How to distinguish between Yin deficiency and Yang deficiency in men's kidneys

There are two manifestations of kidney deficiency, one is kidney yin deficiency and the other is kidney yang deficiency. Both men and women will experience both types of kidney deficiency, but before treatment, they should be distinguished so that targeted treatment will be effective. So how to distinguish between men's kidney yin deficiency and yang deficiency? When men suffer from kidney yin deficiency, they will have symptoms such as irritability, insomnia, and red and thin tongue coating; while kidney yang deficiency will cause symptoms such as fear of cold and cold limbs.

1. The difference between kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency in men

1. Good at fear

Fear is what we call timidity in life, that is, feeling a little scared. Fear caused by kidney deficiency is generally accompanied by forgetfulness, sore waist and knees and other discomfort symptoms. This feature can be used as a basis for judgment. Men with kidney yin deficiency will be accompanied by symptoms such as irritability, insomnia, premature ejaculation, spermatorrhea, and sweating when they are afraid. If you look at the tongue, you will find that the tongue is red, and the tongue coating is less and dry. Men with kidney yang deficiency will be accompanied by discomfort symptoms such as fear of cold, cold limbs, and general fatigue when they are afraid. If you look at their tongue, you will find that the tongue is somewhat pale and tender, and the tongue coating is white.

2. Fear of cold

Traditional Chinese medicine in my country believes that if the body has sufficient yang energy, it can resist the cold, maintain a normal body temperature, and not feel cold; if the body's yang energy is relatively weak, it cannot warm the body and is prone to feeling cold. Chills caused by kidney yang deficiency are often accompanied by problems such as lack of energy, soreness of the waist and knees, impotence, and spermatorrhea.

3. Sneezing

Sneezing is a natural physiological phenomenon, and Chinese medicine believes that sneezing can be divided into two types: one is acute sneezing, which often occurs when the weather suddenly turns cold, or when the body is cold or has a cold; the other is caused by kidney yin deficiency. Sneezing caused by kidney qi deficiency is often frequent sneezing, accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue, pain, pale complexion, and cold hands and feet.

2. Manifestations of Kidney Yang Deficiency and Kidney Yin Deficiency

1. Manifestations of Yang deficiency: fear of cold, cold limbs, pale face, pale tongue, and white tongue coating. If you have palpitations, cold limbs, and pale face, and you also feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, and even heartache, this is heart Yang deficiency. If your waist and knees are cold and you frequently get up at night, this is kidney Yang deficiency.

2. Manifestations of Yin deficiency: Five-heart heat, that is, heat in the palms and soles of the hands and feet and the heart, red cheekbones, sweating during sleep, dry mouth and tongue, yellow urine, red tongue, and thin tongue coating. If you often feel palpitations and have manifestations of Yin deficiency, such as restlessness, insomnia, and dreaminess, then it is heart Yin deficiency.
