Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I am a 50-year-old male. I have always been in good health, feeling great. Suddenly one day, I felt physically exhausted. I took some tonics for the kidneys, but it didn't help much. Is it really my kidneys that aren't working properly? Do I need a medication for treating a kidney cyst? I am very confused.Doctor's answer:
Feeling physically exhausted is not necessarily a problem with the kidneys. After the age of 50, the body's various functions gradually decline, which is a physiological process. If you feel overall fatigue, you can improve it through traditional Chinese medicine. The treatment of cysts depends on their size. Generally, those under 5 centimeters are managed through periodic follow-up examinations. However, cysts larger than 5 centimeters can affect kidney function and may require puncture extraction under magnetic resonance guidance.
