Patient's question:
I get tired easily, for example, running a few hundred meters makes me exhausted. Then, I tend to have lower back pain, and my knees feel quite cold, especially in winter. However, my libido hasn't decreased, but I do experience premature ejaculation. Usually, sexual activity lasts about three days. How can I determine if I have kidney deficiency?Doctor's answer:
Kidney deficiency is divided into Kidney Yang deficiency and Kidney Yin deficiency. Generally, individuals with Yang deficiency tend to feel cold, while those with Yin deficiency often experience frequent thirst. It is recommended that you visit a professional traditional Chinese medicine hospital to have your pulse diagnosed by a TCM practitioner. They will comprehensively evaluate your tongue and pulse, and use herbs that nourish essence and marrow, as well as strengthen Qi and consolidate the root to implement regulation. Additionally, it is important to enhance physical exercise to improve your resistance and immune system, and maintain a light diet.
