What are the symptoms of kidney deficiency?

Because of the influence of life pressure, there are more male friends suffering from kidney deficiency in modern society. The direct influence of kidney deficiency is the decline of sexual ability, which is not a good thing for men. But whether you have kidney deficiency needs to be judged according to the symptoms. So what are the symptoms of kidney deficiency? What is kidney deficiency mentioned by Chinese medicine?

1, kidney deficiency

Kidney deficiency, as a concept of traditional Chinese medicine, is divided into many kinds. The most common are kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency. The symptoms of kidney-yang deficiency are backache, chills in limbs, chills and even edema; The symptoms of kidney yin deficiency are "heat", mainly including backache, dryness and heat, night sweats, sweating and dizziness. In addition, long-term deficiency of kidney qi and weakness of kidney essence may also cause discomfort in other parts of the body, which can be observed from some details.

1. salty mouth-feel salty mouth for no reason, consider the possibility of kidney deficiency.

In addition to salty mouth, people with kidney yin deficiency are often accompanied by symptoms such as dry throat, dizziness, tinnitus, soreness of waist and knees, nervous fever, insomnia and dreaminess. If you look at your tongue, you will find it is red and thin.

In addition to salty mouth, people with kidney-yang deficiency are often accompanied by symptoms such as general weakness, shortness of breath, chills, cold pain in the waist and knees, weakness in the legs, frequent urination at night and so on. If you look at the tongue, you will also find that it is light and fat, and there are teeth marks on the side of the tongue.

2. Fear-fear for no reason, consider the possibility of kidney deficiency.

There is a difference between the "fear" mentioned here and the usual "shock". The surprise is that you don't know in advance, and what happens suddenly scares you. Fear is often called timidity. I knew in advance, and I was scared. Fear of goodness caused by kidney deficiency is usually accompanied by symptoms such as emptiness of mind, forgetfulness and weakness of waist and knees, which can be used as a reference for judgment.

People with kidney yin deficiency are accompanied by symptoms such as hand, foot and heart fever, upset and insomnia, nocturnal emission and night sweats. If you look at the tongue, you will find that the tongue is red and the tongue coating is few and dry. People with kidney-yang deficiency are accompanied by symptoms such as fear of cold, cold limbs and fatigue. If you look at the tongue, you will find that it is tender and white.

3. Afraid of cold-afraid of cold, consider the possibility of kidney deficiency.

Chinese medicine believes that the human body is full of yang, which can resist the cold, maintain normal body temperature, and will not feel afraid of the cold; If the human body is weak in yang and cannot warm the body, it will feel cold.

The human body has yang everywhere, and every viscera has yang. Essentially, the kidney is the source of yang. Kidney is the congenital foundation, which contains true yin and true yang, also known as kidney yin and kidney yang. Kidney yin is the basis of human yin, and kidney yang is the basis of human yang. Treating various types of chills requires warming and tonifying kidney and yang.

Then, if there are symptoms of chills, how to judge whether it is caused by kidney-yang deficiency? Fear of cold caused by kidney-yang deficiency is often accompanied by symptoms such as listlessness, soreness and cold pain in the waist and knees, dull complexion and frequent urination. In addition, men will have problems of impotence, premature ejaculation and nocturnal emission, while women will have problems of leucorrhea and infertility due to cold uterus.

4. yawning-yawning for a long time, consider the possibility of kidney deficiency.

Yawning is a common physiological phenomenon in life. It usually happens when people are tired and sleepy, or when people wake up in a deep sleep. Yawning is a normal physiological phenomenon at this time, so don't worry. However, if you yawn repeatedly when you are not tired, it may indicate that you have kidney deficiency and should be paid enough attention.

The kidney deficiency manifested by yawning is generally a syndrome of kidney-yang deficiency. Besides yawning repeatedly, these people are often accompanied by symptoms such as pallor, cold limbs, anorexia, abdominal distension, loose stool, increased nocturia (or long urine). If you look at the tongue, you can also find symptoms such as pale tongue, white tongue coating and blue lips.

Clinically, the method of tonifying kidney, strengthening yang and dispelling cold is often used, and Mahuang Asarum Fuzi Decoction (6 grams of Mahuang, 3 grams of Asarum and 6 grams of prepared aconite) is often used for treatment.

5. Sneezing-sneezing is frequent and persistent, and the possibility of kidney deficiency should be considered.

Sneezing is a common physiological phenomenon, and many people have experienced sneezing. Why do people sneeze? Chinese medicine believes that there are two situations.

One kind of situation is acute sneezing, which often happens when the climate suddenly turns cold, the body catches cold and a cold is prevalent. It often appears at the same time as the symptoms of a cold. When the cold is cured, sneezing will stop. This kind of sneezing is empirical.

Another situation is sneezing caused by deficiency of kidney qi. Defending qi is the main force to resist exogenous pathogens in the body, which comes from the lower jiao kidney, nourishes the middle jiao spleen and spreads to the upper jiao lung. If the human kidney qi is weak, the source of Wei qi will be insufficient, and the Wei qi reaching the Wei qi meridian will be less, and the lungs will not be able to publicize Wei qi normally, so sneezing happened.

Sneezing caused by deficiency of kidney-qi is often frequent and persistent, accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue, soreness or pain in the waist and knees, dull complexion, fear of cold, and tepid hands and feet, especially in patients with allergic rhinitis. Sneezing caused by deficiency of kidney qi is difficult to cure simply by eliminating evil spirits. It is necessary to tonify the kidney and consolidate the foundation, so that the kidney qi is vigorous and the defense qi is sufficient, and the body's ability to resist external evils is enhanced.

There are two kinds of kidney deficiency related to sneezing: kidney yin deficiency syndrome and kidney yang deficiency syndrome.

In addition to sneezing frequently, people with kidney-yin deficiency syndrome are also accompanied by symptoms such as itchy nose, runny nose, dry throat, sore throat, dizziness, tinnitus, and five-upset fever. If you look at your tongue, you will also find that your tongue is red and has less tongue coating.

People with kidney-yang deficiency syndrome, in addition to frequent sneezing and long-term treatment, are also accompanied by symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose (heavier in the morning and evening), chills, tepid limbs, dull complexion, and soreness in the waist and knees. If you look at your tongue, you will also find that your tongue is pale, white and furry.

The method of warming and nourishing Yuanyang should be used for treatment, and Guifu Dihuang Decoction (6 grams of cinnamon, 6 grams of prepared aconite, 0/5g of prepared rehmannia root, 0/0g of yam, 0/0g of dogwood, 0/0g of poria cocos, 0/5g of 10/5g of Alisma orientalis, 0/5g of kloc) can be selected.

6. Abnormal saliva-whether there is more or less saliva, the possibility of kidney deficiency should be considered.

Saliva is divided into saliva and saliva. Saliva and saliva are both body fluids in the mouth, thick saliva and thin saliva. In TCM, sweat, nasal discharge, tears, saliva and saliva are called five fluids, and the five fluids of five internal organs are considered: sweat is the fluid of the heart, nasal discharge is the fluid of the lungs, tears are the fluid of the liver, saliva is the fluid of the spleen and saliva is the fluid of the kidney. From the five elements, saliva belongs to the kidney.

Why too much or too little saliva may lead to kidney deficiency? The reason is simple: under normal circumstances, the saliva in the mouth is moderate, which makes people feel that the mouth is neither dry nor full of saliva. If the kidney yin is insufficient and the kidney yin secretion is insufficient, there will be less saliva; If the kidney is yang-deficient, the vagina fluid secreted by the kidney will be too much, and there will be more saliva. Therefore, whether there is too much saliva or too little saliva, it indicates that there may be kidney deficiency.

If there is too much saliva, accompanied by dizziness, palpitation, shortness of breath, dark complexion and other symptoms, if you look at the tongue, you can also find that the tongue is tender and the tongue coating is white and smooth. Basically, it can be concluded that this is caused by the weakness of kidney yang, and the treatment should be warming kidney and transforming qi.

If there is too little saliva, in addition to dry saliva in the mouth, it is often accompanied by symptoms such as upset, insomnia, dizziness, tinnitus, fever in hands and feet, hot flashes due to bone steaming, constipation, short and yellow urine and emaciation. If you look at your tongue, you can also find that your tongue is deep red with little or no moss. Basically, it can be concluded that this is hyposalivation caused by kidney yin deficiency.

The therapy should be tonifying kidney, nourishing yin and promoting fluid production. Liuwei Dihuang Decoction (Radix Rehmanniae 15g, Rhizoma Dioscoreae 10g, Cornus officinalis 10g, Poria cocos 15g, Alisma orientalis 15g, Cortex Moutan 10g) can be mixed with other herbs.

7. dull complexion-dull complexion, consider the possibility of kidney deficiency.

Chinese medicine matches the five colors of red, cyan, yellow, white and black with the five elements, and black belongs to water; Match heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney with five elements, and kidney belongs to water. Kidney in the five internal organs belongs to water with black in the five colors, so black is similar to kidney, and black belongs to kidney, and black things are mostly related to kidney.

Judging from people's complexion, if the complexion is dull, we should consider whether it is kidney deficiency. The complexion caused by kidney deficiency is dull, often dull, as black as smoke, and looks unclean. Black skin and black eyes should also consider the possibility of kidney deficiency.

Gloomy complexion caused by kidney deficiency can be divided into two types: kidney yang deficiency and kidney essence deficiency.

If your complexion is dull and dull, accompanied by deafness and tinnitus, chills all over, chills in limbs, soreness in waist and knees, long urination (large amount and innocent color), loose stool, decreased urine volume and edema (obvious below waist), you can conclude that you have a kidney by looking at your tongue.

The method of warming and tonifying kidney-yang should be used for treatment. If there is edema, the method of warming kidney and promoting diuresis should be used. Zhenwu decoction (prepared aconite 10g, Poria cocos 10g, Atractylodes macrocephala 10g, Paeonia lactiflora 10g, Ginger 10g) can be used for treatment.

If your face is dull, accompanied by symptoms such as yellow helix, dizziness, tinnitus, weakness of waist and knees, hair loss, loose teeth, forgetfulness, mental trance, weakness of feet, etc., you can conclude that you have the problem of insufficient kidney essence by looking at your tongue. It is advisable to use the method of tonifying kidney and replenishing essence.

8. The helix is black-the helix is black and dull, so the possibility of kidney deficiency should be considered.

In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the five senses of eyes, tongue, mouth, nose and ear belong to the five internal organs of liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney, and the ear belongs to the kidney, which is the "trick outside the kidney", with kidney qi as the main factor.

Generally speaking, healthy people's helix is full, ruddy and shiny; The spiral is black and dull, indicating that there may be kidney deficiency.

If your helix is dull, accompanied by dizziness, dry mouth and throat, five-upset fever, insomnia, nocturnal emission, night sweats, and soreness of waist and knees, if you look at your tongue, you will still have a red tongue and less tongue coating, indicating that you have the problem of kidney yin deficiency, and the treatment should be nourishing kidney yin.

If your helix is dark and dull, accompanied by symptoms such as chills, cold limbs, fatigue, soreness of waist and knees, nocturnal emission and impotence. If you look at your tongue, you will find that your tongue is pale and its coating is white, which means you have the problem of kidney-yang deficiency and should be treated by warming and tonifying kidney-yang.

9. Loose teeth-all loose teeth should consider the possibility of kidney deficiency.

Kidney governs bone, bone is nourished by kidney essence, and kidney is good for bone. Teeth are bones, and the quality of bones directly affects the quality of teeth. Therefore, the kidney is closely related to the teeth. Kidney deficiency leads to bone loss, teeth will become weak and teeth will become loose.

Both kidney yin deficiency and kidney qi deficiency can lead to tooth loosening.

If your teeth are loose, dry and dull, accompanied by dizziness, tinnitus, alopecia and backache, if you look at your tongue, you will also find that your tongue is thin, red and tender with little or no coating. Generally, it can be concluded that it is kidney yin deficiency. Clinically, I found that people with this problem often have a history of excessive sexual intercourse or nocturnal emission. Treatment should be based on nourishing yin and tonifying kidney and strengthening teeth.

If the teeth are loose and the gums are red, accompanied by symptoms of weakness in chewing, shortness of breath and laziness in speaking, if you look at the tongue, you will also find that the tongue is pale and the tongue coating is white. It can be concluded that the kidney qi is insufficient, and the treatment method should be tonifying kidney and strengthening teeth.
