Will kidney deficiency cause frequent urination?

Kidney deficiency is a very serious disease that plagues men. Kidney deficiency refers to insufficient kidney essence, which can cause some abnormal symptoms in the body, such as cold hands and feet, hair loss, weakness in the waist and knees, and pain in the waist and shoulders. Not only men can suffer from kidney deficiency, but women can too. Some people may also have symptoms of urgency, frequency, and inability to urinate completely, which greatly affect their daily lives. Some people wonder whether frequent urination is a symptom of kidney deficiency. The answer is yes, frequent urination is a symptom of kidney deficiency. The following is a detailed introduction.

A normal adult urinates an average of 4 to 6 times a day during the day and 0 to 2 times at night after going to bed. If the frequency of urination increases significantly and exceeds the above range, it is called frequent urination. Frequent urination is a symptom, not a disease. There are many reasons for frequent urination, the most common of which is urinary tract infection. So, can kidney deficiency cause frequent urination? Kidney deficiency can cause frequent urination. Kidney deficiency refers to the deficiency of kidney essence, qi, yin and yang. Kidney deficiency is mainly divided into kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency.

The main signs of kidney deficiency are: frequent urination at night, lack of energy, back pain and weak legs, insomnia, chest tightness and shortness of breath, etc. So, what should we do if we have frequent urination due to kidney deficiency? Traditional Chinese medicine treatment of kidney deficiency can be summarized as one word: "replenishment". Nourishing the kidneys has become a common method for both men and women with kidney deficiency and for prolonging life. The treatment for kidney yin deficiency is of course to nourish kidney yin. By replenishing kidney yin and making it sufficient, its deficiency can be corrected.

Liuwei Dihuang Pills, a commonly used prescription for nourishing kidney yin, is often used clinically for patients with dizziness, tinnitus, soreness of waist and knees without other obvious accompanying symptoms. It is a classic prescription for treating kidney yin deficiency; Zhibai Dihuang Pills are often used clinically for patients with hot flashes, night sweats, dry mouth and sore throat, tinnitus, spermatorrhea, and short and red urine; Maiwei Dihuang Pills are often used clinically for patients with thirst, cough and hemoptysis; Qiju Dihuang Pills, Mingmu Dihuang Pills, and Shihu Yeguang Pills are often used clinically for patients with photophobia, tears in the wind, and blurred vision; Erzhi Pills are often used clinically for gynecological patients with dry throat and nose, and heavy menstruation; Guishao Dihuang Pills are often used clinically for patients with irregular menstruation and heel pain due to liver and kidney yin deficiency. Of course, kidney yang deficiency requires kidney tonification and yang boosting. There is a little trick when nourishing the kidney and assisting yang. It is not necessary to nourish kidney yang to nourish kidney yin. Medicines for nourishing kidney yin do not necessarily have to be combined with medicines for nourishing kidney yang. However, nourishing kidney yang must nourish kidney yin. This is the rule of TCM for treating kidney deficiency. Why do we say so? Because the kidney yin is deficient and there is a lack of substances. We supplement the substances and then little by little it replenishes the kidney yin and corrects the condition. However, there is a problem with replenishing kidney yang. It is necessary to add medicine to replenish kidney yin. In other words, kidney yin must be used as the material basis for it to be converted into kidney yang.

Just as Zhang Jingyue said: "Those who are good at replenishing yang must seek yang in yin, so that yang can be helped by yin and its vitality will be endless; those who are good at replenishing yin must seek yin in yang, so that yin can be helped by yang and its vitality will be endless." Jinkui Shenqi Pills are used to treat kidney yang deficiency.
