Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also noticed some swelling in my body. I feel completely weak. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. Is it true that white hair is a sign of kidney deficiency?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms you described, such as excessive sweating and the continuous growth of white hair, are more likely to indicate the possibility of kidney yang deficiency. This is because your baseline state of working overtime easily consumes the body's kidney yang, and this is especially true for young people as well. In the past, this condition was more common among the elderly, but now it is also frequently seen in young people due to overtime work. In this case, it is important to pay attention to adjusting medications, such as Shen Qi Wan, for example. It is best to have a on-site traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment to adjust the condition.
