If a man can't even pee, there might be something wrong with this place.

Kidney disease is a problem that many male friends will encounter in life. Because men's minds are not as sensitive as female friends, they often focus on work and ignore their health. Below, we will look at the eight signs of kidney disease and discuss how to deal with the symptoms.

Eight common signs of kidney disease

1. Not strong enough.

When kidney function is poor, many waste products are difficult to excrete through urine, resulting in a lack of energy, fatigue, and other symptoms. When the kidneys are diseased, nutrients such as protein leak out of the kidneys and are excreted through urine, which can also cause lack of energy. Some patients may think that they are overworked or have other reasons, and ignore kidney problems.

2. Don’t want to eat.

Losing appetite, feeling nauseous, or even vomiting are also common symptoms of kidney disease. Some patients always go to the gastroenterology or hepatology department first to see if they have stomach or liver disease. When they find out that they don’t have stomach or liver disease, they just ignore it and forget to see a nephrologist, which delays their condition.

3. The urine contains foam.

There are many reasons why there is foam in the urine. If protein leaks from the kidneys into the urine, the urine will be foamy.

4. Low back pain.

The kidneys are located on both sides of the spine in the waist, so when the kidneys are diseased, you will feel back pain.

5. Urinating more or less frequently.

A healthy person urinates about 4-6 times a day, with a urine volume of about 800-2000 ml. If the frequency of urination and urine volume are too much or too little, you should pay attention.

6. Edema.

Drinking too much water, sleeping too long, or being too obese may cause slight or transient edema in the eyelids, face, calves, etc. If this is not the case, you should suspect that there is a problem with your kidneys.

7. Urine protein and occult blood.

The presence of protein or occult blood in urine is an important indicator of kidney disease, which can be confirmed by a routine urine test. However, sometimes doctors who are not nephrologists will ignore this point, so it is recommended to consult a nephrologist.

8. Urinary tract infection.

People who often have urinary tract infections may develop renal insufficiency over time. I have come into contact with many patients with urinary tract infections. Because they did not receive timely and thorough early treatment, and did not understand that it would lead to poor renal function, by the time they discovered the infection, they had already missed the best time for treatment.

What to do if you notice symptoms

1. When you first notice symptoms, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis immediately. Because the symptoms of many diseases are similar, if you treat them one by one and self-diagnose and treat them, you may make a misdiagnosis.

2. In addition, you should keep a stable mood. Fluctuating moods will accelerate the progression of the disease, while a stable state of mind will help both the body and the recovery of the disease.

3. Once diagnosed, go to the hospital for specialist treatment in time. Don't be afraid of illness and avoid seeing a doctor. Your health is the most important thing. If you don't seek treatment for the sake of face, you will only harm your own body.

How to treat male kidney disease

The treatment of male kidney disease must first identify the disease. In Western medicine, hormone shock and cytokine immunosuppressant drugs are often used. Traditional Chinese medicine treats kidney disease based on syndrome differentiation. Kidney disease treatment is mainly divided into fundamental treatment of the damaged kidney and symptomatic treatment.

Lowering high blood pressure, blood creatinine, and urea nitrogen, improving anemia, and improving acidosis symptoms are all issues that kidney disease patients are eager to treat. If kidney damage cannot be suppressed, lowering these can be considered symptomatic treatment of kidney disease.

If you ignore the actual condition and only pursue changes in indicators, it will only make the condition worse. You should know that if you are too dehydrated, it is easy to cause insufficient effective blood volume in the kidneys, leading to heart failure, reduced blood perfusion and anuria.

The occurrence and progression of kidney disease are related to many factors. Kidney disease is more common in patients with diabetes and hypertension, as well as patients who frequently take medications indiscriminately, because many drugs need to be excreted through the kidneys, and these drugs often have an impact on the kidneys.

In fact, having kidney disease is not terrible, but there are many factors that can cause kidney disease to worsen. The most important thing in treating kidney disease is not only to treat the symptoms, but also to treat the root causes of the disease to prevent the symptoms from disappearing temporarily and recurring if the cause is not effectively treated.
