Male friends pay more attention to the condition of the kidneys because the kidneys have extraordinary significance for male health. The kidneys are not only organs that produce urine and metabolize toxins and waste in the body, but also important endocrine organs that can secrete beneficial vitamins and renin, significantly regulating blood pressure.
Although attention is given to the health of the kidneys, maintenance of the kidneys is often not ideal, especially considering that the kidneys are easily injured organs. Therefore, some men may already have compromised kidney function without realizing it. In such cases, early detection and treatment are essential to preserve the kidneys, prevent further damage, and avoid serious kidney diseases.
What are the three reminders that indicate inadequate kidney function in men?
The first reminder is excessive sweating on the soles of the feet, forehead, and armpits.
Excessive sweating is a sign that there may be problems with the kidneys’ ability to metabolize water, leading to water accumulation in the body. The excess water and toxins that are not eliminated can only be expelled through the soles of the feet and armpits. However, relying on sweating through the sweat glands to remove excess water has limitations. Therefore, it is crucial to actively treat and restore kidney function. This abnormal sweating manifests as damp socks even in autumn and winter, and clothes always seem to be damp with a sweaty smell.
Another indicator is sweating on the forehead. If you are not experiencing low blood sugar or engaging in strenuous physical activities but your forehead is sweating profusely, it may indicate deficient kidney function. It is important to get your kidney function checked at the hospital if this occurs.
The second reminder is experiencing ringing in the ears.
As kidney function declines, it can affect the auditory system, leading to noticeable symptoms such as hearing abnormal noises in the ears or cranial cavity without external interference. This may include sounds like rolling waves or continuous strong winds. Tinnitus can severely impact your quality of life and even cause insomnia. To alleviate tinnitus, it is crucial to restore and maintain healthy kidney function, preventing the condition from worsening.
The third reminder is excessive hair loss on the head.
Healthy and abundant nutrition is crucial for good hair growth, and the kidneys play a vital role in providing nutrients to the hair. If your hair is thick and shiny, it indicates good kidney health. On the other hand, if you experience increasing bald spots on the head unrelated to genetics, it may be due to kidney dysfunction causing inadequate nutrient supply to the scalp. It is essential to consult a doctor to check your kidney function and seek timely treatment for both appearance and health reasons.
In conclusion, if men experience the above three physical warnings, they should be vigilant as it may indicate kidney problems. Timely treatment or corrective measures should be taken.
