Patient's question:
I tend to sweat easily, and suddenly, without any warning, I've experienced dry mouth and excessive thirst again in the past two days. I've been urinating frequently, about every half hour, and the urine volume is large, with no yellowish color. (I've reduced my water intake slightly, but it hasn't increased suddenly compared to before). I don't fall asleep during the night, and I still sweat a lot, even in weather around 10 degrees Celsius. Walking makes my front and back completely drenched.The only other symptom is a slight decline in vision, making things seem blurry. I've been studying for the past few days, reading for long periods each day, and I don't know how these symptoms are related. Additionally, my menstrual cycle has been irregular for the past four months, always delayed.
What kind of help do I need: Hello, what could be the reason for this? I've been taking L-carnitine for the past month—is it related to that? However, I've been taking it for a long time without any side effects, and suddenly these symptoms appeared again.
Doctor's answer:
Hello: According to what you said, it is a symptom of kidney yin deficiency. Kidney yin deficiency manifests as five-palm heat, dizziness and tinnitus, sore waist and knees, bone-steam heat, flushed cheeks, dry mouth and tongue, restlessness, and a red tongue with little coating, which are symptoms of internal heat due to yin deficiency. Medicinal treatment can use Zuoyuan Pill, Liuwei Dihuang Pill, etc. In daily life, you should eat more bitter gourd, tomato, water chestnut, water caltrop, lotus root, and lily bulb. For patients, if the condition of male diseases is severe, they should be treated immediately with symptomatic medication. Proper medication should be used, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of male diseases. In addition, patients need to maintain a cheerful mood to avoid worsening the condition. I hope the answers to the above questions can help everyone. Thank you.
