Patient's question:
What kidney diseases can be caused by taking too many medications? After taking medicine for more than ten days, I suddenly felt kidney pain.Doctor's answer:
Your good friend, I estimate you may be suffering from kidney deficiency. When the essence, qi, yin, and yang of the kidneys decline or are insufficient, it can be referred to as kidney deficiency. Kidney deficiency can be further divided into kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency.Advice: It is recommended that you first identify the type of deficiency and then consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for targeted treatment. Avoid indiscriminate supplementation.
The differentiation is as follows: Kidney yang deficiency may present with symptoms of general coldness and fear of cold, while kidney yin deficiency is the opposite, with a tendency to feel hot. Additionally, night sweats (sweating during the night) are a significant symptom of kidney yin deficiency.
