Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. He Haochen
Squats generally cannot treat kidney deficiency. Kidney deficiency should first be accurately diagnosed to determine its specific type before appropriate medication can be selected; blind use of drugs is not recommended. Typically, kidney yin deficiency can be treated with Zuo Gui Wan, while kidney yang deficiency may be treated with Gui Lu Er Xian Wan, Jin Kui Shen Qi Wan, and similar medications. In daily life, moderate exercise can help improve physical fitness. During treatment, sexual activity should be avoided, and if there is masturbation, it should also be discontinued to prevent worsening of kidney deficiency.
