Manifestations of Yin Deficiency and Internal Heat

The symptoms of yin deficiency and internal heat generally include dry mouth and throat, night sweats and hot flashes, frequent urination at night, etc. The explanations are as follows:

1. Dry mouth and throat

Yin deficiency can cause loss of moisture in the oral and throat mucosa, making dry mouth and tongue a common symptom. Patients may feel dry mouth and tasteless, dry throat and dry lips.

2. Night sweats and hot flashes

Because yin deficiency cannot balance the yang heat in the body, patients may experience night sweats and hot flashes, especially when sleeping at night. Patients may feel hot body, but hands and feet are cold.

3. Night frequent urination due to yin deficiency

leads to insufficient kidney function, inhibiting the concentration of urine, so patients may often urinate at night, and urine volume is high.
