Many people often believe that the kidney is the most important organ that affects male sexual function. Kidney deficiency can lead to poor sexual function. Taking kidney tonifying drugs can strengthen the kidney and strengthen yang. However, the more you supplement, the more weak you become, leading to a strange cycle of health... Give you a reference standard and compare it yourself to get a general idea. Even if you need to supplement, you should also understand it.
A few simple points to judge renal function:
People with good kidney function have good spirits, light feet, good sleep, and good hearing and eyesight. On the contrary, people with poor renal function often have frequent nocturnal urination, dizziness, low back pain, weak legs, dark circles under the eyes, and are prone to hair loss.
In addition, to judge whether your kidney function is good or bad, you should also pay attention to your daily urine output. Generally, the daily urine output of normal people should be around 1000 to 2000 milliliters (equivalent to 2 to 4 mineral water bottles). More than 2500 milliliters or less than 800 milliliters may be due to kidney problems.
In order to prevent premature aging, modern people, especially the modern white-collar group, should strengthen physical exercise, timely nourish symptoms, and improve symptoms of kidney deficiency and aging. "If it is not an extremely weak population, tonifying the kidney should focus on peace, and it should vary according to time, person, and region. Different methods of tonifying the kidney should be selected according to different seasons, physiques, and climate, and should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.".
How many signals does kidney disease have?
1. Edema
Eyelid or facial edema rises in the morning, subsides in the afternoon, worsens after tiredness, and alleviates after rest. Severe edema can occur in low hanging areas of the body, such as the medial sides of both ankles, both lower limbs, and the lumbosacral region.
2. Headache, dizziness, dizziness, tinnitus
Hypertension caused by kidney disease, like other hypertension, can also cause symptoms such as headache, dizziness, dizziness, and tinnitus. However, some patients may have no discomfort due to long-term high blood pressure and have already tolerated the symptoms of hypertension.
3. Excessive or insufficient urine output
The normal urine volume is 1000-2000 ml/day, with an average of about 1500 ml/day. Increased or decreased urine volume can be a sign of kidney disease, especially nocturnal polyuria, which is often a signal of kidney disease.
4. Urinalysis
Urine test abnormality: Routine examination of urine reveals protein, red blood cells, white blood cells, tubular type, ketone bodies, and urine sugar, which should be further examined.
The key to kidney protection lies in daily life
Everyone should pay attention to the maintenance of the water of kidney yin. In addition to appropriate medication, daily maintenance is even more critical.
Sex: Be moderate, not forced, not indulgent.
Diet: When feeling weak and tired, eat foods containing iron and protein, such as agaric, jujube, black chicken, etc; People with indigestion drink more yogurt and eat hawthorn; On weekdays, it is necessary to eat more leeks, sea cucumber, ginseng, black chicken, pigeons, and so on.
Exercise: Frequently perform waist exercises, which can strengthen the vital gates, nourish the kidneys, and nourish qi. You can also do more massage to stimulate the soles of your feet. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the Yongquan acupoint on the soles of your feet is the place where turbid qi falls. Frequent massage of the Yongquan acupoint can benefit the essence and kidney, strengthen the body, prevent premature aging, and soothe the liver and eyes, clear the throat and calm the heart, promote sleep, and increase appetite.
Sleep: Adequate sleep is also an important guarantee for restoring vitality and energy. No matter how tense your work is, and no matter how much trouble you have at home, you should also take regular breaks when it's time to go to bed.
Nourishing the Kidney Must Distinguish Yin and Yang
In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the kidney is not only a tangible organ, but also a general term for the kidney and a series of related functional activities. Pathological changes in human spirit, bones, hair, teeth, etc. may be closely related to the kidney, with a wider range than in Western medicine.
Modern people are prone to systemic organ dysfunction due to high work pressure and low amount of exercise, with kidney deficiency being one of them.
The essence and qi of the kidney can be divided into two aspects: kidney yin and kidney yang, which are interdependent and mutually restricting, maintaining the dynamic balance of the human body. When this balance is disrupted, pathological changes such as kidney yin and kidney yang decline or become excessive will occur.
Clinically, kidney yin deficiency is more common than yang deficiency, so there is a certain misunderstanding in the concept of tonifying the kidney as strengthening yang. Manifestations of kidney yang deficiency: pale or swarthy complexion, cold waist and knees, cold limbs, mental fatigue, and overall fatigue; Male impotence, premature ejaculation, female infertility, decreased libido; Malformed or frequent urination, clear and prolonged urination, excessive nocturnal urination, pale tongue fur, and purgations during the fifth shift.
Manifestations of kidney yin deficiency include redness of face, aching waist and knees, dizziness, tinnitus, loose teeth, and hair loss; Male ejaculation, premature ejaculation, and women with oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea; Insomnia and forgetfulness, dry mouth and throat, irritability, sweating when moving, red cheekbones in the afternoon, emaciated body, yellow and little urine, red tongue with little or no fur
