Will excessive sex cause kidney damage? Exercise to activate your sex muscles

Internet rumor: "Excessive sex can cause kidney damage", is it true? Common symptoms of kidney deficiency in men include nocturnal emission, premature ejaculation, and low libido. Are there any tips for preventing kidney deficiency? Wu Jiandong, a Tai Chi master, the 80th generation descendant of Hua Tuo and a Chinese medicine practitioner, said that practicing the horse stance can help improve kidney deficiency. At the same time, combined with medicated food that replenishes kidney deficiency, it can maintain sufficient kidney qi.

The scope of kidney deficiency in traditional Chinese medicine is quite broad, including male spermatorrhea, premature ejaculation, low libido, etc.

The kidney in TCM is not the same as the kidney in anatomy and physiology. When TCM talks about kidney deficiency, it refers to the deficiency of reproductive and urinary functions, and it does not necessarily manifest as a problem with the kidney itself. This needs to be clarified first. In TCM, "the kidney is the foundation of the body, responsible for storing essence, taking in qi, and regulating water", and is therefore related to growth and development, reproductive function, and water metabolism.

Therefore, the scope of kidney deficiency is quite wide. For example, children's developmental disabilities, difficulty urinating or incontinence, low libido, male spermatorrhea and premature ejaculation, women's difficulty getting pregnant, or prone to coughing, wheezing, and diarrhea; as well as weak waist and knees, joint pain, etc. in the elderly. Because all the internal organs are affected by the kidneys, the above symptoms may be caused by kidney deficiency, but whether it is or not, or what kind of mechanism occurs, still requires a detailed clinical diagnosis.

Kidney deficiency can lead to aging, premature degeneration of bones and joints, and early menopause.

What harm does kidney deficiency bring? Kidneys are the foundation of our constitution, and kidney deficiency means a weak constitution. Whether it is due to inadequate congenital endowment, lack of postnatal care, or long-term overdraft of physical strength, it may lead to kidney deficiency. In addition to the obvious symptoms mentioned above, it is also possible that the body ages earlier than others, such as early degeneration of bones and joints, or early menopause in women. When it comes to anti-aging and delaying the aging process, Chinese medicine often talks about one of the key points: to start with the sufficiency of kidney qi.

Will excessive sex cause kidney damage? Chinese medicine practitioner Wu Jiandong said that from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, excessive sex can indeed cause insufficient kidney qi or kidney yin deficiency. Common symptoms include: weak waist and knees, dizziness, tinnitus, forgetfulness, fatigue, dull complexion, frequent urination, impotence and spermatorrhea in men; and irregular menstruation, cold uterus and leucorrhea in women. On the contrary, Chinese medicine does not agree with complete abstinence. For example, Sun Simiao, who lived for over 100 years, wrote in "Prescriptions for Emergencies": "If the mind is agitated, the spirit will be tired, and if the spirit is tired, life will be shortened." Abstinence for too long may even shorten life.

To treat kidney deficiency, it is recommended to take "yam and pork ribs soup"

Therefore, Chinese medicine emphasizes "moderation in sexual desire and preservation of essence", not too much or too little, but what is appropriate? The Su Nu Jing mentions that "a person who is 20 years old ejaculates once every four days; a person who is 30 years old ejaculates once every eight days; a person who is 40 years old ejaculates once every sixteen days; a person who is 50 years old ejaculates once every twenty-one days." But in fact, it will be affected by factors such as physique, mood, and environment. Simply put, if you want to do it, do it; if you don’t want to do it, don’t force it. Don’t do it when you are drunk or taking drugs, and also ensure that the environment and body are clean when having sex.

How to treat symptoms of kidney deficiency? The treatment direction for kidney deficiency varies according to different situations, but you can consider taking "Yam and Pork Rib Soup" to adjust the acquired spleen and stomach functions with yam, which nourishes the spleen, lungs and kidneys, and then use pork ribs, which are aquatic animals that nourish the kidneys, to make up for the lack of protein. After cooking, add some salt and coriander to season it, or it can be cooked into porridge with white rice.

To prevent kidney deficiency, squatting and practicing Tai Chi can help

There is a saying: "To prevent kidney deficiency, squatting is very effective?" Is it true? Chinese medicine practitioner Wu Jiandong said that horse stance is helpful regardless of whether one has kidney deficiency or not, because it can strengthen the core muscles, exercise the muscles of the lower body, and improve the circulation of the lower limbs and genitals. In addition to delaying aging, it also has a training effect for those with insufficient heart and kidney function. As for those who want to perform well in bed, horse stance can adjust the endocrine system, so it is a must-practice.

In fact, Tai Chi can be said to be an advanced practice of horse stance, which includes the movement of the hip joints and the massage of internal organs through breathing, which are things that cannot be achieved by simply squatting in horse stance. Therefore, if possible, it is recommended to practice from beginning to end, which will be much more effective than a single move.
