What are the symptoms and differences between kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency?

The importance of kidneys is beyond words. If there is a problem or malfunction in the kidneys, the patient will not only feel very uncomfortable and have various abnormal symptoms, but also easily affect fertility. It can be said that this is an issue that cannot be ignored. Kidney deficiency is a disease that modern people often face. It is divided into two types: kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency. So, what is the difference between kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency?

There are two main types of kidney deficiency, one is kidney yin deficiency and the other is kidney yang deficiency. Different types of kidney deficiency have different symptoms for patients and require different treatments. Therefore, they should be clearly distinguished. The following introduces the difference between kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency.

Kidney Yin deficiency and kidney Yang deficiency are both part of kidney deficiency and represent a certain type of symptoms. The difference between kidney Yin deficiency and kidney Yang deficiency is that if kidney Yin is a material deficiency, kidney Yang is a functional deficiency. The material deficiency manifests as soreness and weakness in the waist and knees, dizziness, and if young people experience premature ejaculation and spermatorrhea, they may also experience fever in the five hearts, insomnia, and irritability. In traditional Chinese medicine, Yin deficiency causes internal heat, while 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 blurred vision. So, this is kidney Yin deficiency. Kidney Yin deficiency generally occurs more frequently in middle-aged and young people, and we have more clinical symptoms. Now let me talk about kidney Yang deficiency. Some symptoms of kidney Yang deficiency are also common with kidney Yin deficiency, such as soreness of waist and knees, and fatigue of limbs. However, kidney Yang deficiency is more functional, so-called cold limbs. That is fever in the five hearts, and this is cold hands and feet. The complexion is prone to be a little yellow and white, and fear of cold. If middle-aged and young people experience decreased libido and impotence, they often feel tired.

Clinical manifestations of kidney yin deficiency : sore waist and weak legs, dry mouth, irritability, hot palms, sweating, dizziness, tinnitus, hair loss, loose teeth, memory loss, loss of libido, easy nocturnal emission, premature ejaculation, etc. Men with sexual dysfunction caused by kidney yin deficiency can usually take more kidney yin tonic medicines. In addition, food supplements are also a good method. For example, cooking porridge with mulberry seeds and wolfberries also has a good effect.

Clinical manifestations of kidney yang deficiency: low back pain and coldness, fear of cold, cold hands and feet, frequent urination, clear and long urination, thin stool. The first symptom of kidney yang deficiency is low back pain, because the waist is the home of the kidneys, and this kind of pain usually feels cold. While the patient is in pain, he also feels coldness in his waist, which is a typical manifestation of kidney yang deficiency. In addition, it spreads to the whole body, causing the whole body to feel cold. Because kidney yang is the root of the body's yang energy, if the root is weak, the warming effect of the body's yang energy will decrease.

The above is the expert’s introduction to the difference between kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency. Whether it is kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency, it should be taken seriously and treated in time. When treating, you should choose a regular hospital and let the doctor make an accurate diagnosis to see which type of kidney deficiency it is, and then treat it symptomatically. Otherwise, as the disease worsens, the damage suffered by the patient will be more serious.
