Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've been experiencing some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. What is the first-line medication for kidney ptosis?Doctor's answer:
Kidney ptosis is a condition that poses little harm to humans, with more women affected than men. It is often caused by the kidney region being higher than the second lumbar vertebra when standing, with right kidney ptosis being more common. In cases of mild stomach ptosis, no special treatment is required. If the pain is severe and accompanied by complications, treatment may be considered. It is recommended to consult a specialist in traditional Chinese medicine for diagnosis and to prescribe herbal remedies such as Bu Zhong Yi Qi (Strengthen the Middle and Invigorate Qi) and Sheng Yang Ji Xian (Raise Yang and Elevate the Sinking) for regulation based on the individual condition. Additionally, under the guidance of a doctor, a variety of exercises can be performed, including abdominal muscle training such as sit-ups and straight-leg raises.
