Next, let's talk about kidney qi deficiency. Qi deficiency, a type of kidney deficiency, is a noun term in traditional Chinese medicine. It refers to the syndrome manifested by kidney qi deficiency, decreased growth and reproductive function, and lack of right to absorb. Clinically, there are both symptoms of kidney deficiency syndrome and qi deficiency syndrome. The main symptoms are shortness of breath and sweating, fatigue and weakness, pale complexion, slippery semen, premature ejaculation, inexhaustible dripping after urine, frequent and clear urination, soreness and weakness of waist and knees, hearing loss, warmth in the limbs, weak pulse, etc., and the treatment is mainly to tonify the kidney.
The kidneys are part of the urinary system, and in traditional Chinese medicine, the kidneys belong to one of the five organs. The kidney is the innate foundation of human life, which is related to the survival and reproduction of human beings. In addition to reflecting the health of the kidneys and their related tissues, the loss of kidney qi also represents whether the vitality is strong or weak. The so-called kidney deficiency and kidney deficiency in the manifestations of kidney deficiency disease include the qi and blood circulation of the kidney and kidney meridians, or the organs and tissues whose functions are related to the kidney, such as the problems of related urinary, reproductive, endocrine and other systems, and some concepts are different from the so-called kidney in modern medical anatomy.
There are seven main clinical manifestations of kidney qi deficiency:
1. Soreness and weakness of waist and knees;
2. The frequency of urination is clear and long, or the residual drainage is inexhaustible, or there is a lot of nocturia, enuresis;
3. Men have premature ejaculation, and women have a lot of thinning under the belt;

5. Coughing and wheezing after a long illness, exhaling more and inhaling less, shortness of breath, and wheezing when moving;
6. Pale complexion, fatigue;
7. The tongue is pale and the pulse is weak or weak.
The above clinical manifestations include soreness and weakness in the waist and knees, which is a deficiency of kidney qi and the loss of bones; The frequency of urination is clear and long, or the residual drainage is inexhaustible, or there is a lot of nocturia, enuresis, which is a deficiency of kidney qi and a loss of bladder; Men lose sperm and premature ejaculation, and women bring down a lot of thinning, because the sperm is not solid; Inexhaustible menstruation or restless fetal movements, slippery tires, because the root of Chong Ren is in the kidneys, the kidney qi is not solid, and Chong Ren is out of appointment or malnutrition; Coughing and wheezing after a long illness, exhaling more and inhaling less, shortness of breath, and wheezing when moving, are caused by the deficiency of qi in the lungs and kidneys, kidney qi, lack of power to absorb, and lack of qi return; The face is pale, the spirit is tired, because of the lack of qi, the yang qi is insufficient, and the mind is weak and excited; The tongue is pale and the pulse is weak or weak, which is a sign of qi deficiency.
Due to the differences in individual constitution and etiology, the clinical manifestations are also different.
The symptoms of kidney deficiency are manifested in terms of mental power: lack of concentration, lack of energy, reduced work efficiency, and decreased memory; memory loss; The symptoms of kidney deficiency are manifested in terms of emotion: bad mood, often difficult to control emotions, dizziness, irritability, irritability, anxiety, depression, etc.; The symptoms of kidney deficiency are manifested in terms of will: no self-confidence, lack of confidence, no enthusiasm for work, no passion for life, no goal and direction; The symptoms of kidney deficiency are manifested in sexual function: decreased sexual function, decreased male libido, impotence or impotence but not firm, slippery sperm, spermatozoa, premature ejaculation, microscopic examination can see a decrease in sperm or sperm motility, infertility.

If the clinical manifestations are coughing and wheezing for a long time, exhaling more and inhaling less, shortness of breath, and wheezing when moving, the syndrome can be distinguished as renal insufficiency.
Finally, there is kidney essence deficiency.
Kidney essence deficiency is also known as kidney essence deficiency, kidney essence qi deficiency, and kidney essence deficiency, which is common symptoms such as growth retardation in children, decreased reproductive function in adults, premature aging, tinnitus, hair loss, loose teeth, and forgetfulness. It refers to the condition that the kidney essence is empty and cannot replenish the cerebral spinal cord. The essence contained in the kidneys is the foundation of the body's vital activities. The main function of kidney essence is the growth and reproduction of the main body, and it is the basic substance of life activities. Kidney essence can regulate the essence of the viscera for its activity needs; It can generate marrow, nourish bones, nourish the brain, and participate in the production of blood, and improve the body's antibody ability. Kidney essence deficiency is mostly caused by the failure of old age, the loss of kidney essence qi, or the lack of congenital endowment, or due to long-term illness and loss of nutrition. Its pathological manifestations may affect growth and development in infancy; In youth, it may lead to premature aging, decreased sexual function and slippery discharge, impotence, etc. Kidney essence deficiency is usually manifested as dizziness, tinnitus, soreness of waist and knees, sexual dysfunction, lack of sperm in men, premature exhaustion of "Tianqi" in women, premature aging, fatigue and forgetfulness, less pale tongue, thin pulse and other diseases.
It is mostly due to weak endowment, congenital insufficiency, early marriage and childbearing, atrioventricular intemperance, exertion and kidney injury or old age and frailty, long-term illness and malnutrition, etc., resulting in kidney essence loss, no marrow generation, emptiness of the medulla, and bone insufficiency. The disease is located in the kidney, and the disease is a deficiency syndrome. Infants and young children are commonly dissolved by craniolysis, five delays, and five softness; Young people often suffer from vertigo, fatigue, tinnitus, deafness, infertility, infertility, slippage, impotence, etc.
Due to the long course of kidney essence deficiency, the kidney is blocked by qi and blood, the renal veins are blocked, the blood and blood toxins of the kidney are deposited, and the kidney qi absorption effect is reduced, and the kidney function gradually deteriorates.
Kidney essence deficiency is usually manifested as dizziness and tinnitus, soreness and weakness of waist and knees, decreased sexual function, lack of sperm in men, premature exhaustion in women, premature aging, fatigue and forgetfulness, frequent urination during the day, unclean residual drainage after urination, clear and long nocturnal urine, incontinence, frequent sperm loss, less pale tongue, and thin pulse.
