Patient's question:
Hello, my mother is experiencing difficulty urinating, incomplete emptying of the bladder, frequent urination, and a persistent feeling that she cannot empty her bladder completely. Today, my mother went to the hospital for a check-up, and the imaging tests did not reveal any significant issues. The doctor recommended that my mother take Tanshok Xin Cell Repair Capsules. Upon researching the medication, I found that it is used to treat male prostate conditions. Could you please let me know if it is suitable for my mother, or if you have any other recommended medications? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you mentioned, if there are symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency, and if the patient is female, it is generally necessary to consider the possibility of urinary tract infection. The medication you mentioned cannot be taken. The medication you mentioned is for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia, how can a woman take it? It is unknown whether the patient's condition has been tested for a urinalysis. If there are white blood cells in the urinalysis, anti-inflammatory treatment is required. You can take cephalexin or levofloxacin for treatment, drink more water, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. In fact, suffering from a urological disease is not scary. The patient should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as the symptoms are detected in time and treated accordingly, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
