Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also noticed some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. Could excessive sweating in the hands and feet be a sign of Yin deficiency or Yang deficiency in the kidneys?Doctor's answer:
Hello! When it comes to problems like excessive sweating in the hands and palms, it's important to first consider the possibility of hyperhidrosis. From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, this condition may be more likely related to qi deficiency and spontaneous sweating. If there are noticeable symptoms of cold hands and feet, the possibility of yang deficiency should also be considered. Additionally, it's important to pay attention to the influence of internal damp-heat. I hope this helps!
