Patient's question:
My son is preparing to join the army, but the physical examination revealed hematuria. After a thorough investigation, it was found to be due to the nutcracker phenomenon. Can he still join the army?History of previous treatment and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered. What kind of assistance is needed: I just want to know if joining the army would be dangerous.
Doctor's answer:
This situation generally does not qualify for military service. The advice is as follows: Left renal vein compression syndrome, with the main symptoms being hematuria and proteinuria. Your child is already 18 years old, and it is recommended to have regular medical check-ups at the hospital. If persistent and recurrent hematuria, scrotal pain, varicocele in adult patients, and poor treatment outcomes occur, surgical treatment should be considered. Avoid seafood, soy products, and spicy foods. Do not stand for long periods; rest more.
