Patient's question:
Always thirsty, often we are already napping at midnight, and Grandpa comes down alone to drink water. Before, we hadn't told you about it, but I discovered it one night when I went to bed and used the restroom. I asked Grandpa, and he said it had been a long time. I suspect he might have developed nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.Doctor's answer:
An 78-year-old elderly person, when suffering from nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, can use traditional Chinese medicine for symptomatic treatment. For example, in traditional Chinese medicine, wolfberry has a very good effect in preventing enuresis. It is also necessary to conduct a thorough examination before treatment to assess the severity of the condition. Treatment should be based on the results of the examination. In daily life, it is also important to actively supplement water and electrolytes and to provide proper care.
