Kidney deficiency is divided into yin deficiency and yang deficiency, but yin and yang are one and the root of each other is interchangeable.
We separate the two in order to illustrate the difference between the two, and in clinical practice, we generally have kidney yin and yang deficiency.
Yin and yang, many people may not understand, let me give an example:
The winter in the north is cold and dry, and the saplings on the roadside are generally in a dry state, which is called "yin and yang". At this time, fertilizing and watering the saplings is equivalent to "replenishing the shade", and if the sun comes out when the sun heats up, it is equivalent to "warming the sun".
But if you only replenish the yin and not the yang, it is equivalent to only watering the saplings, and the saplings will freeze to death in the cold wave.
Therefore, clinically, for patients with yin and yang deficiency, what we need to do is to supplement yin and yang, just like a sapling, sunshine and rain and dew.
For the chronic prostate syndrome type with yin and yang deficiency, it is often accompanied by damp heat stasis, which will cause damp heat stasis due to the inability to excrete in the body, resulting in urethral pain and poor urination.
Let's talk about a clinical medical case:
Mr. Wei, 43 years old, who is usually fond of tobacco and alcohol, was seen for chronic prostatitis.
The diagnosis is as follows:
Frequent urination, painful urination
Burning of the urethra, white dripping after urine
Distension and pain in the lower abdomen, wet and sticky scrotum
Soreness in the waist and knees, fatigue and fatigue
The tongue is thin and small, dark red and greasy, and the veins are fine
Syndrome: Yin and Yang deficiency, dampness and heat stasis
Treatment: Flattening yin and yang, dispelling dampness and removing stasis
Recipe use: dodder seed, sand garden seed, dogwood, hundred branches, cork, knotweed, psyllium, gardenia, Sichuan hyssop, peach kernel
Fangzhong dodder seeds, sand garden seeds, and dogwood are used to flatten yin and yang, replenish the kidney, solidify essence and transform qi;
Hundreds of branches are not turbid, dampness and turbidity, and it is said in "The Righteousness of Medicine" that "the main man is white and turbid, and the stem is painful";
Cork, gardenia, and psyllium clear away heat and dampness, dispel fire and trouble, and facilitate scorching and dampness;
Sichuan oxknee and peach kernel invigorate blood, dispel stasis and relieve pain, promote blood flow, diuretic and drenching;
Knotweed clears away heat and dampness, disperses stasis and relieves pain.
The combination of various medicines, tonifying the kidney and aiding the chemical, clearing the dampness and heat, removing stasis and turbidity, the patient took 1 course of treatment, the symptoms were reduced, the pain was reduced, and the urine was slightly smoother;
