Patient's question:
My child has recently been complaining of discomfort in their body, but they can't pinpoint the exact problem. After a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as polycystic kidney disease. Can pediatric polycystic kidney disease heal on its own?Doctor's answer:
Currently, there is no way to prevent the spread of this disease. Some polycystic kidney disease is accompanied by polycystic liver disease or conditions such as stones, hydronephrosis, etc. If a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine oral treatment is adopted, the therapeutic effect is not significant. Needling, anesthetic sclerosants, and surgical detoxification can only provide temporary relief when the disease has progressed to a certain extent. After surgery, other cysts will continue to grow larger. A few months later, the total volume will be larger than before. In the treatment of polycystic kidney disease (polycystic liver disease), using only the changes in cyst size as a standard to judge therapeutic efficacy is incorrect.
