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's 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 foods like burdock root, black fungus, black sesame seeds, and small walnuts for dietary supplements. Medications such as Zuoguiwan and Liwei Dihuangwan can also be used. Enhance your physical exercise! In the outpatient clinic, I often encounter patients asking whether the disease they have (referring to prostatitis) is due to kidney deficiency and whether they should take tonics. This is a very common question, but from a medical perspective, chronic prostatitis patients do not necessarily have kidney deficiency.
