Patient's question:
Before going to bed in the morning, I felt a bit uncomfortable in my soles, with a sense of swelling. Then, after lying down to sleep, I felt the urge to use the restroom, either for a bowel movement or urination. However, when lying in bed, the discomfort was only in my soles, and I didn't actually need to use the restroom. Whenever I experience discomfort in my soles while lying down, I end up going to the restroom. My tongue is very yellow on the inside, but the front and middle parts are not yellow. All day long, my tongue feels very dry, yet it's neither painful nor itchy. Is it because I'm sick?Doctor's answer:
What you mentioned lacks specificity and there is no specific diagnosis basis, so it cannot be certain that there is a disease. I manage training in Western medicine gastroenterology. From a Western medicine perspective, I recommend conducting routine tests for urine and stool, as well as liver function tests, to better understand what condition may be present. I think you shouldn't be too anxious. Prostate conditions tend to fluctuate, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to immediately seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital, and consider treatment based on test results. Additionally, attention should be paid to restricting sexual activity.
