Patient's question:
I used to have the habit of sexual intercourse, but since the divorce, I have already quit. In the past two weeks, the frequency and amount of nighttime urination have been constantly increasing. Sometimes I have to go 3 or 4 times a night, which makes it difficult for me to rest well at night and I feel extremely sleepy during the day. My wife said it might be due to kidney deficiency. What are the best ways to nourish the kidneys?Doctor's answer:
From the perspective of acquired factors leading to kidney deficiency, the main reasons are as follows:(1) Intense competition and excessive pressure. The confusion brought by modern civilization causes many people to endure immense physical and mental stress, leading to exhaustion, declining energy, and symptoms such as neurasthenia, reduced appetite, fatigue, irritability, and bad temper, which are kidney deficiency and brain deficiency symptoms induced by kidney deficiency.
(2) Irregular lifestyle. Smoking, drinking, and irregular work and rest schedules, as well as overexertion, can damage the kidneys and result in kidney deficiency.
(3) Unhealthy habits, such as excessive sexual activity and frequent intercourse, can directly harm the body's kidney essence, causing kidney deficiency.
Maintain a certain midday rest time. Avoid overtime and intense exercise. Moderately restrain sexual activity. Prefer moderate-intensity, intermittent physical exercise, such as Tai Chi or Tai Chi Sword.
