Patient's question:
I am 45 years old this year, and I have been swollen recently. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was chronic nephritis. My friend gave me a lot of propolis. I want to ask you if doctors can eat propolis with chronic nephritis?Doctor's answer:
Chronic glomerulonephritis is also known as chronic nephritis, primarily characterized by symptoms such as proteinuria, hematuria, hypertension, and edema as the basic clinical manifestations. It is caused by various bacteria, viruses, or protozoa through autoimmune mechanisms, inflammatory mediator factors, and non-autoimmune mechanisms. According to your description, chronic nephritis can benefit from propolis. Propolis therapy is a mature treatment method that can fundamentally repair damaged kidney cells, completely restore kidney function, and thus achieve the goal of recovery. Additionally, propolis is a highly effective "natural antibiotic." If healthy individuals consume natural antibiotics regularly, it can have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-swelling and pain-relieving, antioxidant, and immune-enhancing effects. It is recommended that you maintain a healthy diet and adequate rest, which will further aid in your full recovery.
