Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also noticed some swelling in my body. I feel completely weak. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's kidney disease. I'm asking, what kind of medicine should I take for lower back pain caused by kidney deficiency?Doctor's answer:
You are now in middle age, and many men in this age group may experience recurring symptoms of kidney deficiency, such as frequent lower back and waist pain, reduced libido, impotence, premature ejaculation, and weak erections. Medication may be needed to regulate these conditions. However, it is best to consult a traditional Chinese medicine doctor for a diagnosis to determine whether you have kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency, and then take medication or follow dietary therapy accordingly.
