In the male clinic, male patients often complain that their sexual ability is not strong. Ask if the kidney function is not good, whether there is kidney deficiency, and the doctor is required to prescribe the kidney and aphrodisiac drugs.However, maintaining "masculinity" cannot be blindly "nourishing the kidneys", and the poor sexual ability and kidney deficiency cannot be confused.
First of all, Western Medicine's "kidney" and "kidney" of Chinese medicine are two concepts.
The kidney in Western Medicine is an important organ that is an important organ that maintains water, electrolytes, and acid -base balance, and produces multiple hormones. Like the heart and liver, it is a real thing.Anatomy has no direct relationship with sexual function.
The kidney is the system and the concept of the theory of Chinese medicine.It covers almost many links such as Western Medicine endocrine systems, reproductive systems, urinary systems, and respiratory systems. It is comprehensive, diverse, but also summarizes and generally, including different concepts such as kidney essence, kidney qi, kidney yin, and kidney yang.
Secondly, the concept of "kidney deficiency" of Chinese medicine is very extensive.
Speaking of "kidney deficiency", in traditional Chinese medicine, it can refer to the lack of functional growth and development of kidney mains, manifested as "baby five late" and middle -aged premature aging;, Men and women infertility, etc.; you can also refer to the function of "the main water of the kidney", and the dysfunction of urination, such as less urine, polyuria, frequent urination, etc. or refers to bone lesions, such as osteoporosis and hyperplasia, etc.It is also related to kidney deficiency.
Therefore, "kidney deficiency" is a syndrome concept in the overall view of traditional Chinese medicine, and specific analysis is needed.Clinically, the patient's general diagnosis as "kidney deficiency" does not have much practical significance.
Sexual functions include human sexual desire, sexuality and many aspects, and are affected by physiological, psychological, and social environment.Causes of premature failure, functional (kidney qi) or organic (kidney essence, kidney yin, kidney yang, etc.) change in kidney deficiency, but it is only a situation in sexual dysfunction. The weak sexual ability is not exactly equivalent to kidney deficiency.
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes that "the facts are attacked, and the virtuality is supplemented." There are many reasons for the strength of sexual ability. They are complicated and complicated, and they can only emphasize "replenishment" one by one.
