Patient's question:
The other day, I had a urinary tract infection and took Levofloxacin and Sanjin tablets! It has improved in these days! But now I have lower back pain, leg pain, and feel weak all over! What could be the cause? Is it related to the prostate or kidneys? Which department should I go to the hospital for? What kind of tests do I need to have?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you go to a local traditional Chinese medicine hospital for a definitive diagnosis. If the diagnosis confirms kidney Yang deficiency, the high blood pressure treatment suggests you could take some Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan, Gui Fu Di Huang Wan, or You Gui Wan. You Gui Wan is a pure product for tonifying kidney Yang and may be more likely to cause internal heat.Dietary advice: Pay attention to your diet and avoid cold and raw foods. You can eat more vegetables that tonify Yang, such as chives and garlic. In winter, you can consume more meat like lamb or dog meat to support Yang. On a daily basis, you can use Eucommia ulmoides, Tribulus terrestris, or Cynomorium songaricum to make soups for tonifying Yang. Combining medicinal treatment with dietary advice can enhance the therapeutic effect.
