Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also noticed 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. I was wondering if kidney deficiency can lead to prostatitis.Doctor's answer:
Kidney deficiency can lead to a recurrence of prostatitis, as well as symptoms such as urinary urgency, frequent urination, and painful urination, or abdominal pain. This requires a urinalysis at the hospital. If white blood cells reappear in the urine and prostatitis is present, anti-inflammatory medication should be used. If kidney deficiency is present along with urinary urgency, frequent urination, or cold hands and feet, it may indicate a case of kidney yang deficiency.
