Patient's question:
I have always been afraid of cold, my palms tend to sweat a lot, and I have frequent nocturnal emissions (sometimes twice a week). Is this considered a deficiency in the body? Is it Yin deficiency or Yang deficiency? What should I do?I urgently look forward to the reply from the knowledgeable ones!!!
Doctor's answer:
Hello, nocturnal emission refers to the condition where ejaculation occurs during sleep with dreams, and it is only known after waking up. It can be a result of sexual dreams, or caused by excessive warmth in bedding, tight undergarments, stimulation of the penis by clothing, or pressure on the penis. The primary affected organ is the kidney; when yang deficiency occurs, the essence gate becomes unstable, often resulting from congenital insufficiency, excessive masturbation, early marriage, or irregular sexual activity. Chinese herbal formulas such as Liuwei Dihuang Wan and Jin Suo Gu Jing Wan can be used for regulation, and rest should be paid attention to. Consuming more foods that support kidney health and essence consolidation, such as oysters, walnuts, chestnuts, softshell turtles, clams, pigeon eggs, and pig kidneys, can be beneficial.
