Kidney deficiency is definitely a term that men least want to hear because the impact of male kidney deficiency is significant. It not only affects physiological functions but also impacts the urinary system of patients. The symptoms brought to men by kidney deficiency often make them embarrassed, so many men are eager to tonify their kidneys. However, tonifying the kidneys also requires a method, not just blindly using aphrodisiacs.
What should men pay attention to when tonifying the kidneys?
1. Tonifying the kidneys is not the same as aphrodisiacs
After discovering symptoms of kidney deficiency in daily life, men’s first reaction is usually to tonify the kidneys. However, kidney deficiency is divided into kidney yang deficiency and kidney yin deficiency. It is not just about using aphrodisiacs to solve the problem. Generally, the treatment for kidney deficiency is traditional Chinese medicine treatment. If aphrodisiacs are used randomly in life, it not only fails to tonify kidney yang but also causes unnecessary harm to the body. Therefore, regardless of the method patients want to use to treat kidney deficiency, they need to undergo an examination first to clarify the condition.
2. Sexual dysfunction is not necessarily caused by kidney deficiency
Many men discover obvious symptoms of impotence and premature ejaculation in life and attribute it to kidney deficiency, but this is not always the case. Kidney deficiency can indeed lead to impotence and premature ejaculation, but the causes of impotence and premature ejaculation are varied and not necessarily caused by kidney deficiency. Therefore, when symptoms appear, it is essential to use medications accordingly. Some patients believe that their poor function is due to kidney deficiency, often leading to excessive stress and anxiety, further exacerbating the symptoms.
3. Do not randomly use tonics
There are many tonics on the market, but each tonic targets different conditions. Therefore, when wanting to tonify the body, random consumption of tonics is not advisable. Common kidney deficiencies are divided into kidney yang deficiency and yin deficiency. Therefore, when using tonics, it is usually necessary to use medicines to tonify kidney yang and kidney yin according to the condition. Most patients cannot distinguish on their own and need a doctor to choose the medication at the hospital. Apart from these, other tonics have minimal effect on the treatment of kidney deficiency, so patients should not choose randomly.
4. Avoid blindly using kidney-tonifying foods
The method of tonifying the kidneys with food is common in daily life, such as eating oysters or leeks, which clearly have tonifying kidney effects. However, the specific effect of tonifying the kidneys depends on the patient’s condition and does not guarantee assistance to the kidneys after consuming these foods. For example, leeks primarily warm and tonify kidney yang, while oysters mainly tonify kidney qi and treat symptoms of spermatorrhea. They usually only play a supportive role and cannot completely restore the patient’s function. Therefore, even if men want to choose foods to tonify the kidneys in daily life, they should control the intake and not consume too much.
5. Avoid blindly trusting health products
Advertisements often exaggerate the effectiveness of health products, but these products do not have a therapeutic effect and can only be used for supportive treatment or maintenance. Some men may blindly believe in the effectiveness of health products and use them to tonify the kidneys, which not only fails to treat the condition effectively but also increases the burden on the kidneys.
Qujing Jiuzhou Hospital kindly reminds: Men who want to tonify their kidneys must follow scientifically reasonable tonifying methods and should not blindly believe in overly simplistic treatments. It is best to undergo an examination at the hospital first to understand one’s own condition, confirm kidney deficiency, and then proceed with targeted treatment.
