Patient's question:
I get cold hands and feet when I get cold in winter. When it snows, I have frequent urination. I finish sex in about five to six minutes. Is it Yin deficiency of the kidneys? I have taken Liuwei Dihuang Wan for five to six months. Is it Yang deficiency of the kidneys? Would taking Shenqi Wan help?Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) speaks of kidney deficiency, which is divided into three types: kidney Yang deficiency, kidney Yin deficiency, and kidney Qi deficiency. Generally speaking, symptoms such as feeling cold, cold hands and feet, lower back pain, and reduced libido tend to be associated with kidney Yang deficiency. Of course, the tongue and pulse are also indispensable for diagnosing TCM conditions. Your symptoms indeed lean toward kidney Yang deficiency, but I wouldn't recommend taking Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan, as it is relatively slow-acting and may not be as effective. I think you should consult a TCM practitioner, take some herbal medicine for a few weeks, and then use the pills to stabilize your condition afterward. This approach is likely to be more effective than relying solely on pills. Male health issues have a significant impact on patients, so once symptoms are noticed, it's important to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, paying close attention to diet is crucial, with a focus on light and balanced foods. I hope male health patients can receive professional treatment.
