Patient's question:
I feel like I need to urinate frequently, and there's pain in the kidney area. It's a dull ache, not particularly severe. Could I have polycystic kidney disease? Does polycystic kidney disease cause such dull pain symptoms? What should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
Pain in the kidney area due to polycystic kidney disease is the main symptom, usually accompanied by a sense of pressure or numbness in the waist, but it can also be severe pain, sometimes accompanied by abdominal pain. This pain can be relieved by physical activity and long-distance walking, and it can also be alleviated after resting in bed.Recommendation: If the pain is severe, intravenous antibiotics can be administered to reduce inflammation and provide symptomatic treatment. This disease is treatable. If the symptoms are severe, cyst fluid drainage can be used.
