Patient's question:
First of all, thank you for the explanation from Dr. Peng Fangyu. I don't know how to reply in gratitude, so I'm expressing my thanks here. I have a question: My uncle has recently been experiencing swollen eyes, hands, and legs, which are not severe. He also has nighttime urination. Could you please tell me what this symptom might indicate?Doctor's answer:
There are many causes of lower extremity edema, including cardiovascular diseases, kidney diseases that cause edema, lymphatic return obstruction, hypoproteinemia, liver cirrhosis, respiratory system diseases, etc. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for further detailed examination. Once the cause is diagnosed, symptomatic treatment can be administered. As everyone knows, prostatitis can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues, avoiding irritating foods and maintaining a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
