Patient's question:
Age 39. Since July, I have been experiencing severe pain in the left lower abdomen and have had amenorrhea. First, I visited the gynecology department and took Qilin Pills and Xiaoyao Pills, which helped relieve the pain, but it persisted as a dull ache. Then, I went to the hospital's urology department for an ultrasound and found a 0.7 cm strong light mass in the left kidney (a stone). The doctor said it didn't require treatment and advised me to drink more water and exercise more. However, the persistent pain is very uncomfortable. I sought treatment from Director Shen Jia with traditional Chinese medicine for a month (kidney-tonifying herbs and Zhenqi Fuzheng Granules). Now, the pain in my waist has subsided, but the stone is still in the kidney. I am wondering if I can stop the medication.Doctor's answer:
Hello, stone removal requires urine flushing, so good renal function is necessary. Suggestions:Prostate hyperplasia is a common disease in the elderly. Most foods rich in vitamin A help maintain the urethral diameter. Drug treatment can effectively control it, but this still requires your own effort.
