Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also noticed some swelling in my body. I feel completely drained of energy. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's kidney disease. Could you please tell me what precautions kidney disease patients should take in their daily lives?Doctor's answer:
Based on your records, it appears that you are primarily suffering from kidney deficiency. Patients with kidney deficiency should restrain from sexual activities to prevent excessive sexual exertion. In clinical diagnosis, kidney deficiency is divided into two types: kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency. For patients with kidney yin deficiency, it is recommended to take Liuwei Dihuang Wan orally for symptomatic treatment and nourishment. For patients with kidney yang deficiency, it is commonly prescribed to take Shenbao Pian for treatment. While undergoing medication, it is advised that patients avoid overworking and pay attention to rest.
