Bladder inflammation moxibustion site
Cystitis is primarily treated with antibiotics, so moxibustion can only serve as an auxiliary treatment method. Commonly chosen acupoints include Zhongji and Guanyuan. Moxibustion involves igniting a moxa stick, targeting the body's meridians and channels to achieve a therapeutic effect. Moxibustion can effectively unblock the body's meridians, and for certain symptoms of diseases like cystitis, it can have a significant effect. It is a treatment method in traditional Chinese medicine. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, the treatment of cystitis with moxibustion is considered a form of internal and external medicine, where blood and qi play a direct role.
Is vomiting severe in renal cancer?
Patients with kidney cancer who experience vomiting are facing a serious situation because nausea and vomiting are common symptoms among late-stage cancer patients and are often more distressing than the pain from cancer itself. Nausea and vomiting may be side effects of treatment, or they might be caused by cancer invading the digestive and nervous systems. People who are ill often feel anxious, which is also one of the reasons causing vomiting. Cancer patients need to pay extra attention to their diet, as this can greatly aid their treatment. In daily life, it is beneficial to consume more fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, focusing on light meals to ensure a balanced diet and supplement various nutrients.
Can urethritis syphilis recur?
Urethritis and syphilis can both recur. Urethritis is primarily due to bacterial cleansing, leading to inflammatory infection of the urinary tract. If personal hygiene is not maintained, it can cause recurrence of urethritis, or the presence of other urinary system diseases may also lead to its recurrence. A relapse of syphilis refers to the condition where, after treatment, the titer is controlled below 1:4, but during an intermittent observation period, the titer rises again, and the proportion of increase is relatively high. This situation is considered a recurrence of syphilis.
How to treat testicular pain caused by chronic prostatitis?
Chronic prostatitis may cause testicular pain, possibly due to the inflammation spreading from the prostate gland to the testicles, resulting in testicular inflammation. Patients should undergo a color ultrasound examination under the guidance of a doctor to observe the condition of the testicles. After confirmation, treatment can include oral or intravenous administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Additionally, patients should rest in bed, minimize activity, and support the scrotum with soft clothing, which can help reduce testicular swelling and alleviate pain.
How is bladder calculus treated?
Patients with cystitis who also have bladder stones need to use antibiotics for local anti-inflammatory treatment. Meanwhile, the bladder stones require formal treatment. If the size of the stone is less than 2 centimeters, patients can undergo extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy in the lithotripsy department. If the size of the stone is more than 2 centimeters, patients need to visit the urology department for minimally invasive surgery, specifically ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy. During this procedure, a ureteroscope is inserted through the urethra to visually break up and flush out the stone.
Why does chronic prostatitis cause discomfort in the lower abdomen?
Patients with chronic prostatitis, due to the invasion of bacteria within the prostate gland, lead to inflammatory infections in the glandular tissue, causing the patient to feel discomfort and bloating in the lower abdomen. They may also experience swelling and pain in the perineal and lower back areas. Additionally, symptoms include frequent urination, urgent urination, split stream urination, and dripping of white discharge at the opening of the urethra. These are common symptoms of chronic prostatitis. Therefore, patients with chronic prostatitis should visit the urology or andrology department of their local hospital for proper examination and treatment as soon as possible.
What department should I go to for kidney stones?
Patients with kidney stones need to visit the urology department of their local hospital for standard examinations and treatments. Doctors will conduct an ultrasound and CT scan of the urinary system to determine the exact size of the stones. If the stones are relatively small, measuring less than 1.52 centimeters, they can be treated with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. If the stones are larger, surgical treatment is necessary. Currently, the main method is a minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy with holmium laser lithotripsy. Patients generally need about 7-10 days post-operation before they can be discharged from the hospital.
Can people with kidney stones eat pineapple?
Patients with kidney stones can eat pineapple, as well as seasonal vegetables and fruits, as these have no impact on kidney stones. However, patients should avoid spicy and stimulating foods, and refrain from drinking alcohol. Treatment plans for kidney stones should be based on their size. It is advisable to first visit a hospital for urinary system ultrasonography and CT scans to assess the size of the stones. Smaller kidney stones may be treated with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, while larger stones may require surgical intervention.
Causes of glandular cystitis
The causes of glandular cystitis are still not very clear, and it may be related to chronic inflammation in the bladder, stones, obstruction in the bladder, neurogenic bladder, bladder eversion, and other diseases. Glandular cystitis is considered a transformative lesion of the bladder mucosal tissue. The origins of the bladder mucosal epithelium mainly include embryonic origin, degeneration, and epithelial transformation theories. The main clinical symptoms are frequent urination, urinary urgency, painful urination, macroscopic hematuria, and discomfort of heaviness in the lower abdomen.
Causes of bladder stones
There are two causes of bladder stones: First, it may be due to kidney stones that move down through the ureter and form bladder stones. Second, it is mainly due to obstructions in the urinary tract, such as an enlarged prostate, which causes the patient's bladder to not completely empty the urine each time, leading to urinary retention. Over time, stones can develop in the bladder and thus form bladder stones. The treatment of bladder stones depends on the size of the stone. You can visit the urology department of your local hospital for examination and treatment.
