The more complement, the more deficiency
When some male friends experience a series of symptoms similar to kidney deficiency, such as general fatigue, frequent urination, urgency to urinate, and frequent ejaculation, they generally assume that these symptoms are caused by kidney deficiency. Go to a small clinic for examination, and some inexperienced doctors will also determine this condition as kidney deficiency. Therefore, they began to take a large number of kidney tonifying and yang strengthening drugs, resulting in a situation of "more tonifying and more deficient".
Most "kidney deficiency" is caused by prostate disease, and blindly tonifying the kidney and strengthening yang can only lead to a worsening of the condition.
What is kidney deficiency
According to traditional Chinese medicine, "The kidney is the organ of strength (the prostate is closely related to male sexual function), the waist is the organ of the kidney (waist soreness is the most common symptom in the early stages of prostate disease), the kidney is the congenital foundation, the root of the five viscera and six viscera (the secretory function of the prostate can affect the whole body), the kidney stores essence, and governs reproduction "The seminal vesicle is the warehouse for storing semen, and the prostate gland is the gate of the seminal vesicle. Prostate fluid is an important component of semen, directly affecting the liquefaction of semen and the vitality of sperm, thereby affecting reproductive function. The kidney and bladder are connected externally and inwardly, opening the orifices in the two yin, and managing the two stools (the prostate gland controls urination, and some patients with prostate diseases may experience anal distension and fecal incontinence).".
Traditional Chinese Medicine Says "Kidney"
Chinese medicine says that the renal function and prostate function almost completely coincide. Therefore, the term "kidney" in traditional Chinese medicine should refer to the prostate rather than the kidney for men. Various symptoms considered as "kidney deficiency" are actually caused by prostate diseases, not the kidney.
Prostate disease is caused by prostate stiffness and sclerosis (also known as "fibrosis"), and the imbalance in the levels of sexual hormones that regulate the prostate gland is one of the main reasons for prostate stiffness and sclerosis.
Therefore, it is not difficult to see that the hormones and hormone-like components in kidney tonifying and yang strengthening drugs cause imbalance in regulating the level of sexual hormones in the glands, which is precisely the reason for "kidney deficiency" and "more nourishing and more deficient".
