Patient's question:
I started having sex at the age of 15, and it was quite excessive at the time. Since then, my deep sleep has not been good. I quit a long time ago. As for urination and other things, there is no discomfort. Sometimes I experience lower back and leg pain, easy sweating, and fatigue. Is this prostatitis or kidney deficiency? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello: Based on your symptoms, it could be considered as kidney yin deficiency. It should not be prostatitis. Patients with kidney yin deficiency can consume more food supplements such as sesame seeds, black fungus, black sesame, and small walnuts in their daily diet. Medications include Zuoguiwan and Liwei Dihuangwan. Exercise more! In outpatient clinics, I often encounter patients asking whether the disease they have (referring to prostatitis) is due to kidney deficiency and whether they need to take tonics. This is a very common question, but from a medical perspective, chronic prostatitis patients do not necessarily have kidney deficiency.
