Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. He Haochen
Excessive fatigue generally leads to kidney deficiency. If one remains in a state of prolonged fatigue, it may result in excessive depletion of qi and blood, reduced physical fitness, and thereby increase the likelihood of developing kidney deficiency. In addition, it may also be caused by excessive masturbation or overly frequent sexual activity. If kidney deficiency persists for a long time, it can lead to decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and may further cause dysfunction of other internal organs.
