Patient's question:
For five years, Western medicine has been ineffective in treating my condition. Currently, I am taking Chinese medicine, and the bleeding has stopped. Now I am in the process of regulation. The prescription includes herbs for treating the kidneys. The doctor said it is caused by kidney deficiency and insufficient qi and blood. I would like to know if taking Liuwei Dihuang Wan is suitable, or if there are other options.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello: Liuwei Dihuang Pill is used to regulate kidney yin deficiency. If your symptoms align with the signs of kidney yin deficiency, then taking it is appropriate. If not, it may have the opposite effect, so do not take it without a prescription.Advice: Since you have been seeing a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, you can ask your attending doctor whether your symptoms are suitable for taking Liuwei Dihuang Pill. If your kidney deficiency symptoms manifest as kidney yang deficiency, then taking this medicine would not be appropriate.
