0-year-old Master Xu has always been healthy, but recently he has suffered from nocturnal urine and is suffering from it.
Half a year ago, Master Xu suddenly had an increase in nocturnal urine. Sometimes he needed to get up one night /6 times , which seriously affected his normal sleep. After waking up the next day, he was drowsy and mentally unconscious. I don’t dare to go to unfamiliar places during the day, is afraid of not having a toilet.
But Master Xu only thinks that this is caused by his older Kidney deficiency , and does not think it is caused by disease factors.
When I accidentally chatted with an old neighbor, I mentioned this matter. My neighbor said that this condition is not necessarily caused by kidney deficiency. I also had this symptom last year. I went to the hospital for examination because of a problem with prostate , and it recovered quickly after treatment.
This attracted the attention of Master Xu. He quickly called his son and asked him to come back on the weekend and take him to the hospital for examination.
Many people have this misunderstanding that abnormal urination is caused by kidney deficiency. In fact, many abnormal increases in nocturnal urine are not caused by kidney deficiency.
1. Is excessive urine at night a sign of kidney deficiency?
Kidney deficiency is a concept of traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney is the foundation of the innate, and kidney health is directly related to physical health.
It has a key control effect on human growth and development, the growth of bone marrow and brain marrow. Once the kidneys are weak, symptoms such as abnormal urination, sore waist and soft knees may occur.
Yinchuan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Traditional Medicine Internal Medicine Deputy Chief Physician Song Li said that , nocturnal urine is not all caused by kidney deficiency.
