Patient's question:
What foods are good for nocturia? Chinese medicine is also fine.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the preliminary diagnosis indicates a condition caused by the deficiency of kidney essence and qi or benign prostatic hyperplasia. This is often due to factors such as overexertion, frequent sexual activity, and poor rest, which lead to the proliferation and enlargement of prostate tissue, insufficient kidney essence, impaired kidney's ability to grasp qi, and outward leakage of kidney qi, resulting in increased nocturnal urination. It is recommended to reduce the intake of spicy foods, quit smoking and alcohol, avoid unsafe sexual contact, and consume more foods that warm and replenish kidney qi, such as Chinese yam, goji berries, and cinnamon. Additionally, undergo a prostate ultrasound examination to confirm the diagnosis. Once confirmed, medications such as ProstaClear capsules, Golden Water Treasure capsules, and Zangyao Jianxin pills can be prescribed for treatment.
