Therefore, often prone to functional kidney deficiency, also known as renal yang deficiency.

Secondly, look at the hot and cold symptoms, that is, through the patient's discomfort symptoms to distinguish between kidney yang deficiency and kidney yin deficiency.

From the modern medical point of view, no matter kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency, it will lead to the lowering of human immune function, especially the immune ability of the kidneys will obviously be lowered leading to the obstruction of the microcirculation system of the kidneys, and the renal meridians and collaterals will not be able to get through, resulting in a number of chronic kidney diseases.

Thirdly, men can also look at sexual function. If people have frequent premature ejaculation and spermatorrhea, they are usually suffering from kidney yin deficiency, and if impotence occurs frequently, they are usually suffering from kidney yang deficiency.

Fourth, observe the two stools, if the urine yellow, often constipated people belong to kidney yin deficiency; for often have urine clear long, loose stools people belong to kidney yang deficiency.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, patients with kidney yang deficiency are mainly characterized by "cold" symptoms, whereas patients with kidney yin deficiency are mainly characterized by "hot" symptoms, such as lumbar pain, dryness, heat and sweating, as well as heartburn and heat.

If you are a male friend, you can also observe the body's sexual function, generally speaking, often occurring premature ejaculation and spermatorrhea are often kidney yin deficiency patients, but if often occurring impotence, it is generally kidney yang deficiency symptoms patients. Two stools can also reflect the body's adverse symptoms to a certain extent, if the urine yellow and often constipation, this time belongs to the kidney yin deficiency patients, and often have a long urine and loose stools people, belongs to the kidney yang deficiency.
