Patient's question:
I am a patient with stress urinary incontinence. I saw online that taking Liuwei Dihuang Pill and Buzhong Yiqi can treat this condition. Please ask: Can these two medications be taken together?Doctor's answer:
Urinary incontinence is mainly divided into stress incontinence, urge incontinence, and mixed incontinence. Urge incontinence refers to a severe urge to urinate as soon as the sensation of urination occurs, leading to leakage before reaching the toilet. It is often accompanied by urinary tract infections, neurological diseases, or prostate diseases. Stress incontinence occurs when an increase in abdominal pressure (such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, lifting heavy objects, brisk walking, or going up stairs) causes involuntary leakage of urine. It primarily affects women, with an incidence rate of 15% to 60%. Mixed incontinence combines symptoms of both types. It is recommended that you choose a regular hospital for treatment and undergo minimally invasive surgery under the guidance of experts, which can completely cure the condition. Participate in more physical exercise regularly to enhance your physical fitness, and practice Kegel exercises more often.
