The most important part of a person's internal organs can be said to be the kidney. If a person is compared to a tree, then the kidney of the person is the root of the tree, and we know that the root is the part responsible for transporting nutrients throughout the tree. It is precisely because of the transportation of nutrients that the tree can grow more lush. So, the same goes for the human body. If our kidneys have problems, it can cause various discomfort symptoms. However, in daily life, people may exaggerate the harm of kidney deficiency, believing that all symptoms are the result of kidney deficiency.
Myth 1: Tinnitus must be caused by kidney deficiency
There is a certain relationship between the kidneys and the ears. If there is insufficient storage of kidney essence in the human body, symptoms such as tinnitus may indeed occur. Therefore, if tinnitus symptoms occur, it may be caused by kidney deficiency. But this is not the only reason.
Tinnitus is not only caused by kidney deficiency, but may also be caused by wind and heat invasion, excessive liver fire, spleen and stomach weakness, which can cause temporary tinnitus and hearing loss in the ears. So if tinnitus occurs, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up to see if it is caused by kidney deficiency, rather than blindly tonifying the kidneys to avoid delaying the optimal treatment time.
Myth 2: Low back pain must be caused by kidney deficiency
We all know that the kidney governs the bone, so kidney deficiency can indeed induce diseases such as osteoporosis and cause back pain. However, it should be noted that kidney deficiency is not the only cause of low back pain, and diseases such as lumbar muscle strain can also cause low back pain. According to statistics, lower back pain caused by kidney deficiency generally accounts for less than 1/4 of the total causes of lower back pain.
Myth 3: Erectile dysfunction is kidney deficiency
Sexual dysfunction such as erectile dysfunction seems to have been directly equated with kidney deficiency. Indeed, the kidney is a place for storing essence, and if kidney qi weakens, it can indeed lead to sexual dysfunction. However, not all erectile dysfunction is caused by kidney deficiency.
A survey has found that less than one-third of all patients with erectile dysfunction are caused by kidney deficiency, as well as other reasons such as heart and spleen deficiency, liver qi stagnation, and blood stasis blocking the meridians.
Myth 4: Excessive sweating must be due to kidney deficiency
Many people like to sweat and feel that they must have kidney deficiency, so they start taking kidney tonifying drugs. In fact, this approach is not correct.
The above are several common misconceptions about kidney deficiency in daily life. It is important to have a correct understanding of kidney deficiency to avoid missing the best treatment time.
