Patient's question:
The patient is 42 years old. Over the past few months, I have been experiencing severe lower back pain, abdominal pain so intense that it makes me want to cry, weakness in all four limbs, a heavy and distended lower abdomen, and recurring edema accompanied by frequent and urgent urination. In the past few days, I have been vomiting after eating, my complexion has become yellow, and I have been losing weight continuously. I went to a good local hospital for a thorough examination, and the diagnosis was polycystic kidney disease and polycystic liver disease in women. How is polycystic kidney disease and polycystic liver disease treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally, medication is used for treatment. For those who do not respond to strict treatment, surgery may be considered to remove or reduce cysts. It is important to avoid high levels of mental stress and maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, as this can enhance the body's immunity. Pay attention to preventing colds and exposure to cold weather. Practice family planning. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Maintain a light diet that is rich in nutrients. Correct picky eating and unhealthy eating habits. Avoid frequently consuming irritating foods and seafood.
