Many people equate sexual ability with kidney function, believing that poor sexual ability is kidney deficiency, but in fact, sexual ability is not directly related to kidney function. So, what are the reasons why men have poor sexual abilities?
1. Overwork
Men are the backbone of the family, bearing the pressure of work and society on the one hand, and also facing the trivialities of life upon returning home, which can cause excessive physical exhaustion. Especially men who engage in heavy physical labor for a long time are prone to lumbar muscle strain. Because physical and mental exhaustion only requires a good rest, there is no mood for sexual activity, which will inevitably affect sexual function over time.
2. Suffering from cardiovascular disease
When men suffer from heart disease and high blood pressure, it can affect sexual ability, as these diseases can cause arterial stenosis, leading to erectile dysfunction of the penis. In addition, long-term exposure to hyperglycemia can also cause neurological and vascular disorders, interfering with penile blood flow controlled by the sympathetic nervous system, and leading to erectile dysfunction.
3. Physical obesity
Obesity not only affects the image, but also increases the risk of diabetes and hypertension. It also reduces the secretion of male hormones, leading to a decrease in sexual ability.
Differences in Kidney Deficiency and Renal Function
1. Kidney deficiency
Kidney deficiency is a concept in traditional Chinese medicine, which emphasizes that the kidney is the fundamental essence of congenital diseases. The kidney is responsible for storing essence, promoting growth and development, maintaining sexual ability, secondary sexual activity, and fertility. The kidney governs water and can regulate water metabolism, generating urine from metabolites and waste products in the body, which are then excreted from the body. The kidney is responsible for absorbing qi, which can maintain the depth of lung breathing and allow for the normal exchange of gas in the lungs. The kidney governs the bone marrow, as long as the kidney essence is sufficient, it can nourish the bones, making teeth and bones stronger.
2. Renal function
The so-called renal function refers to its function, which is divided into excretory and endocrine functions. The kidneys can filter toxins and useless waste from the body, generate urine and excrete it from the body, maintaining normal life. The kidneys can secrete vasoactive substances, maintain blood pressure stability, and secrete erythropoietin, which is beneficial for red blood cell production.
How to Nourish and Protect the Kidney
1. Regular physical examination
If you want to protect your kidneys, you need to undergo regular physical examinations. If there are any abnormal renal function indicators in the examination report, you need to seek medical attention in a timely manner. The physical examination items are divided into routine urine examination and renal function examination, and the routine urine examination mainly looks at whether there is hematuria, protein, and urine specific gravity in the urine. Renal function examination should pay attention to indicators such as glomerular filtration, blood creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen.
2. Avoid staying up late
Staying up late can cause irreversible damage to the kidneys, which operate continuously for 24 hours, but also have their own biological clock. At night, the renal blood flow will decrease, resulting in low operational efficiency. If you stay up late all the time, it can disrupt the kidney's biological clock and easily lead to decreased kidney function.
3. Do not use drugs indiscriminately
Almost all drugs are filtered in the kidneys, and some drugs in daily life, such as non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, have certain toxic effects on the kidneys. In addition, traditional Chinese medicine containing aristolochic acid can also be toxic to the kidneys and can easily cause kidney failure. When suffering from diseases, it is necessary to use medication reasonably under the guidance of a doctor, and excessive medication is not allowed.
The above is the reason why men have poor sexual ability. In daily life, it is necessary to protect the kidneys well, avoid overeating, and drink more water to reduce the burden on the kidneys. If there is urine, it is necessary to urinate in a timely manner, not hold it, and control blood pressure, blood lipids, and blood sugar. Perform at least one urea nitrogen and urine routine check every 6 months to promptly monitor kidney condition.
