Hello: I have a history of masturbation, for two years. This year, my waist has been constantly sore, and my heels also feel sore after standing for a long time. Is it caused by excessive masturbation? I used to masturbate on average every day? Thank youDoctor's answer:
Hello: The symptoms of kidney deficiency are caused by excessive masturbation, but whether it is Yang deficiency or Yin deficiency is difficult to determine from your description.Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that what is called Kidney Yang deficiency is a type of cold deficiency syndrome characterized by the decline of Kidney Yang, the failure of warming function, and the loss of authority in Qi transformation.
Its manifestations include: pale complexion, sore and cold waist and knees, feeling cold in the body, especially in the lower limbs, impotence, premature ejaculation, and cold semen in men; cold uterus, infertility, reduced libido in women, or symptoms such as loose and watery stools, pre-dawn diarrhea, frequent clear urine, nocturia, pale tongue, white coating, and deep, thin, and weak pulse, especially in the. Treatment generally focuses on warming and tonifying Kidney Yang, and medications such as Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan (Golden Cabinet Kidney Qi Pill) and You Gui Wan (Right Returning Pill) can be taken.
TCM also holds that Kidney Yin deficiency, characterized by insufficient nourishment and the emergence of internal, manifests as a weak syndrome known as Kidney Yin deficiency. Its symptoms include: sore and soft waist and knees, dizziness and tinnitus, spermatorrhea and premature ejaculation in men, insomnia and forgetfulness, dry mouth and throat, in the five centers (palms, soles, and chest), night sweats, flushed cheeks (feeling of fever), yellow and reduced urine, red tongue with little moisture, thin or no tongue coating, and fine, rapid pulse. Treatment generally focuses on nourishing Yin and tonifying the Kidneys, and medications such as Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Six Flavor Rehmannia Pill) and Zuo Gui Wan (Left Returning Pill) can be taken. However, TCM emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment. It is best for you to consult a local TCM hospital for diagnosis and treatment, combining the four diagnostic methods (inspection, auscultation/olfaction, inquiry, and palpation) for optimal results.
