Patient's question:
Now I often have lower back pain and poor sexual function. After a follow-up pulse diagnosis by an experienced traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, it was determined that I have a deficiency of both yin and yang in the kidneys. Initially, I was prescribed a three-week herbal decoction, and now I have switched to a kidney-tonifying herbal formula for brewing wine. I have been taking it for two months, but personally, I don't feel any improvement. How long does it take for kidney-tonifying treatments to be effective?Doctor's answer:
The condition of taking Chinese medicine for kidney tonification varies from person to person. If the medication does not show noticeable effects after two months of use, it is best to visit another hospital for a thorough examination and diagnosis, and to follow the doctor's guidance for medication and treatment. Male diseases can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after recovery. Therefore, during treatment, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
