In fact, both kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency are harmful to health.

1. Kidney Yin deficiency: It is a symptom of insufficient Yin fluid in the kidney. It is mostly caused by long-term illness that damages the kidneys, or insufficient endowment and excessive sexual intercourse, or excessive intake of warm, dry and yin-destroying foods. Clinical manifestations: sore waist and knees, dizziness and tinnitus, insomnia and nightmares, strong and easy erection in men, spermatorrhea, oligomenorrhea and amenorrhea in women, or metrorrhagia, weight loss, hot flashes and night sweats, fever in the five parts of the body, dry throat and red cheeks, yellow urine and dry stools, red tongue with little fluid, and thin and rapid pulse. Kidney yang deficiency is a symptom of kidney yang deficiency. It is mostly caused by congenital yang deficiency, or kidney deficiency due to old age, or kidney damage due to long-term illness, and excessive sexual intercourse. Clinical manifestations: sore waist and knees, fear of cold and cold limbs, especially in the lower limbs, dizziness, listlessness, pale complexion, or dark complexion, pale and fat tongue with white coating, and deep and weak pulse. Or it may cause impotence, infertility due to cold uterus in women, or prolonged diarrhea, undigested food, diarrhea at dawn, or edema, with the area below the waist not rising when pressed, or even abdominal distension and pain, palpitations, cough and asthma.

2. The difference between kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency is that if kidney yin refers to material deficiency, kidney yang refers to functional deficiency. Material deficiency means soreness of waist and knees, dizziness, premature ejaculation, spermatorrhea, fever in the five hearts, insomnia, and irritability in young people. In traditional Chinese medicine, yin deficiency causes internal heat and yang deficiency causes external cold. If kidney yin deficiency occurs in the elderly, they are prone to early hair loss or graying, tinnitus, hearing loss, loose teeth, and dizziness. So, this is kidney yin deficiency. Kidney yin deficiency generally occurs more frequently in young and middle-aged people, and we have more clinical symptoms.

3. Some symptoms of kidney yang deficiency are common with those of kidney yin deficiency, such as soreness of waist and knees, fatigue of limbs, but kidney yang deficiency is more functional, the so-called cold limbs, that is heat in the five hearts, this is cold hands and feet, the complexion is easily a little yellow and white, and there is fear of cold. If middle-aged and young people experience decreased libido and impotence, they often feel tired. Because it is functional, it is more reflected in this aspect. We say that kidney yang deficiency and kidney yin deficiency are not completely separate. In clinical practice, we often encounter such people. I tell you whether I have kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency. I said that whether it is kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency, if it is deficient to a certain extent, it is yin damage and accumulation of yang, and yang damage and accumulation of yin. Kidney yang deficiency for a long time will have symptoms of kidney yin deficiency, so when we replenish kidney yang, we must replenish kidney yin, and seek yang in yin, and when replenishing kidney yin, we do not blindly use drugs to replenish kidney yin.
