Patient's question:
I am 54 years old. I was carefully checked six months ago and found that I have kidney deficiency. The doctor prescribed traditional Chinese medicine for me to nourish my body, and I have been taking it, but the effect is not very good. Recently, I feel it has become more severe. I even sweat during my afternoon nap at night. I want to know what to do about the continuously worsening thirst due to kidney deficiency in men?Doctor's answer:
At night, sweating during deep sleep indicates restlessness and thirst, which in turn suggests a deficiency of kidney yin when waking up after a nap and the sweat stops. It is important to nourish yin and tonify the kidneys in daily life. You can take some tonifying yin and kidney Chinese herbal formulas, such as Liuwei Dihuang Wan, to support your health. In terms of diet, you can consume more Lily Bulb and Tremella Soup, Chinese Yam and Goji Berry Congee, or drink Goji Berry tea as a substitute for regular tea for nourishment. Additionally, you can visit the Traditional Chinese Medicine department of a hospital for syndrome differentiation and treatment, where herbal decoctions can be prescribed to address your specific condition.
