Patient's question:
I have been frequently thinking about going to the toilet recently. After using the restroom for a while, I feel the urge to go again. Even during my afternoon nap, I have to go to the toilet many times. Later, my wife suggested I get a thorough medical check-up. However, the detailed examination revealed that my prostate is normal. Could you please explain why I have been experiencing frequent urination, but my prostate is normal?Doctor's answer:
Nocturia is not necessarily a symptom of prostatic inflammation or urinary tract inflammation, nor is it necessarily caused by stomach issues. It could be due to kidney Yang deficiency. In this case, it is advisable to consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. If the symptoms are indeed caused by kidney Yang deficiency, oral medication can be prescribed for treatment. It is essential to take medication under the guidance of a doctor and avoid consuming extremely cold foods. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
