Frequent urination may not necessarily lead to kidney deficiency. Women with kidney deficiency must be symptomatic

Lumbar and knee soreness, dizziness and tinnitus, frequent nocturnal urination, physical weakness, decreased memory, irregular menstruation, irritability, dark circles under the eyes, and hair loss are the nine major signals of female "kidney deficiency syndrome". Chinese medicine experts point out that "modern styles" such as staying up late, losing weight, miscarriage, and smoking often lead to kidney deficiency in women.

Therefore, only when the nine signals mentioned above appear simultaneously is the true kidney deficiency. If a female friend has only one or two symptoms, she must not make her own decision to "tonify the kidney.". For women with kidney deficiency, tonifying should be based on the type of kidney deficiency and individual physique, otherwise it may "add insult to injury.".

Frequent urination is not necessarily kidney deficiency

Experts say, "Many female friends mistakenly believe that having kidney deficiency is' kidney deficiency '. In fact, for each manifestation of kidney deficiency syndrome, the corresponding cause may be kidney deficiency, or it may be a symptom of a specific disease."

Dizziness and tinnitus may be due to high blood pressure, frequent urination, or urinary system infections. Low back pain may be due to kidney stones, nephritis, lumbar hyperplasia, lumbar muscle strain, etc. The above symptoms alone are not necessarily "kidney deficiency". Doctors usually perform some necessary tests for patients, such as urination and blood tests, to exclude the possibility of organic lesions before determining whether the patient is kidney deficient.

Kidney deficiency includes symptoms of related diseases in the urinary system, reproductive system, endocrine and metabolic system, neuropsychiatric system, and many other systems. Kidney deficiency is not a specific disease, but more often it is close to sub health.

Female kidney deficiency can be divided into three types: yin deficiency, yang deficiency, and qi deficiency. It is necessary to supplement for different types.

Deficiency of kidney yin

Manifestations: Dry and hot mouth, sore mouth and tongue, closed stool, yellow urine, and other symptoms.

Reason: White-collar women live irregular lives and stay up late, resulting in the inability to nourish yang in the body, affecting the balance of yin and yang in the kidneys, leading to kidney yin deficiency. According to traditional Chinese medicine, cigarettes are hot and dry substances. If smoking is uncontrolled, it will lead to insufficient yin in the body, easily depleting kidney yin and causing kidney yin deficiency.

In addition, women are generally more sentimental, and psychological factors such as major changes in their lives, irritable temper during menopause, may also lead to kidney yin deficiency.

Nutrition strategy: For women with kidney yin deficiency, it is appropriate to eat foods that are sweet, cool, nourishing, and nourishing, such as fresh vegetables and fruits, and other foods rich in fiber and vitamins. Avoid foods that are spicy, stimulating, fried, hot, and high in fat and carbohydrates.

Kidney Yang Deficiency

Performance: Symptoms such as listlessness, fatigue, and fear of cold.

Reason: Nowadays, many young girls are taking weight loss drugs, but if some drugs that can cause diarrhea are taken for a long time, they can cause insufficient yang in women's bodies, which in turn leads to weakness of the spleen and stomach, leading to kidney yang deficiency. Women who have excessive sexual activity can also lead to kidney yang deficiency due to excessive consumption of yang qi in the body.

In addition, abuse or excessive dependence on pain relievers not only leads to kidney deficiency, but also may cause damage to renal function.

Nutrition strategy: Suitable for eating foods with stable and cold habits, high calorie content, and rich nutrition. Avoid eating various cold drinks and raw and cold fruits.

Kidney Qi Deficiency

Manifestations: Irregular menstruation, insufficient energy, skin color difference, and severe symptoms such as cold amenorrhea and uterine cold.

Reason: Overexertion, lying down for too long, and lack of exercise are the main reasons for kidney qi deficiency.

Nutrition strategy: For women with yin and kidney deficiency, it is suitable to eat something that is nourishing, sweet and warm, rich in nutrients, and easy to digest. Avoid eating foods that consume qi, are cold and raw, and are spicy and greasy. Yam and scallops are both kidney tonic foods, suitable for people with kidney deficiency of various constitutions.
