Chinese medicine experts remind that women also have kidney deficiency, and the proportion of kidney deficiency in women is quite high, not lower than that in men.
Chinese medicine experts remind: women will also have kidney deficiency.
In the past 1 year, Ms. Hu, 33, has been feeling exhausted, unable to eat incense, unable to sleep well and unable to have sex with her husband. ...
So she went to Dongzhimen Hospital affiliated to Beijing University of Chinese Medicine for treatment. When the doctor told her the diagnosis result of "kidney deficiency", she was shocked: Can women also have kidney deficiency?
Professor Jinxi Zhao from the Department of Endocrinology said that many people think that kidney deficiency is a "patent" for men, but in fact, women are prone to kidney deficiency due to physiological and pathological factors, and the proportion of kidney deficiency in women is quite high, not lower than that of men.
In modern society, most women, like Ms. Hu, have a fast pace of work and life. Long-term mental stress and overwork will unconsciously break the metabolic balance of human body, leading to energy overdraft. At this time, perhaps it is the busy affairs and tense working conditions that make people feel this gradual change of the body. In fact, the health status of overdraft has already quietly opened the door for the disease-kidney deficiency followed.
Background data: The concept of kidney deficiency in traditional Chinese medicine and its relationship with sub-health. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that kidney is the innate foundation, the foundation of human reproductive development, and the motive force of functional activities of viscera. The essence of kidney can be functionally divided into kidney yin and kidney yang. Kidney yin and kidney yang depend on each other and restrict each other to maintain the dynamic balance of human body. When this balance is destroyed, there will be pathological changes of kidney yin and kidney yang. This is kidney deficiency. At present, kidney deficiency, such as nocturnal emission, male fistula, premature ejaculation, frigidity and infertility, is actually a narrow sense of kidney deficiency. Kidney deficiency in a broad sense includes a series of systemic symptoms. Kidney deficiency in Chinese medicine is quite similar to the sub-health state recognized by western medicine. First, most patients with kidney deficiency and sub-health patients can't tell the difference when they see a doctor. They have similar symptoms. Secondly, their definitions are abstract, and they are all determined by a bunch of symptoms. The difference is that the concept of kidney deficiency has a long history and often includes some organic diseases.
There are many kinds of kidney deficiency, among which kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency are the most common.
There are many kinds of kidney deficiency referred to in traditional Chinese medicine, the most common of which are kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency.
Kidney-yin deficiency is characterized by dry mouth, itchy skin, insomnia and dreaminess, irritability, soreness of waist and knees, fever of hands and feet, tinnitus and dizziness. In addition, women will also have constipation, less menstrual flow or even amenorrhea.
Kidney-yang deficiency, manifested as white or dark complexion, weak waist and knees, listlessness, cold hands and feet, fear of cold and wind, diarrhea, body edema and so on. In addition, women will have symptoms such as infertility, enuresis, edema and low sexual desire.
Expert tip: Kidney deficiency is not equal to renal failure. Kidney referred to in traditional Chinese medicine is not the same as kidney referred to in modern medicine. Kidney deficiency is not renal failure, but the weakness of qi, blood, yin and yang, which is not as serious as renal failure.
People with kidney deficiency must pay attention to tonifying the kidney, but they can't make it up.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, kidney governs storing essence. Essence is the basic substance that constitutes human life, and it is also the material basis for the growth and development of various functional activities of internal organs. Sufficient kidney essence, strong body, normal function of internal organs, weakened vitality of kidney deficiency, and various diseases will gradually strike.
Therefore, in order to radically cure these diseases and completely improve the physical condition, we must start with tonifying the kidney.
However, kidney deficiency can not be blindly supplemented, and disorderly supplementation is harmful.
Professor Zhao emphasized that it is the key of traditional Chinese medicine to make clear whether it is kidney yin deficiency, kidney yang deficiency or kidney qi deficiency. Therefore, people with kidney deficiency must find a regular Chinese medicine doctor for correct diagnosis and treatment.
Generally speaking, most people with kidney-yin deficiency are red in the face and five are upset and hot. Drugs for tonifying kidney yin deficiency are mostly sweet and cold drugs, such as Dendrobium, Polygonatum odoratum, Cornus officinalis, Lycium barbarum and American ginseng. The representative of Chinese patent medicine is Liuwei Dihuang Pill.
People with yang deficiency are afraid of cold, with cold limbs and pale face. Most of the drugs for tonifying kidney-yang deficiency are hot drugs, such as aconite, cinnamon, velvet antler, etc., and the representative of Chinese patent medicine is Jinkui Shenqi Pill.
