I went to toilet very frequently these days, which more frequent than often. Maybe is my kidney weak? or I got inflamed after ate so much hot pepper.My husband lost his job now, so we meet the financial problem. However, I worry my health problem, so I don't know what can I do first.If you, what measures will you make? Thank you.

Hi,
Since you have frequent visit to toilet nowadays,probably
they are some issue with your body and it is best to consult for
medical checkup,but I can understand that you are concern about the
medical fee. Why don't you talk to your children or close
relatives,they may be able to help you up in financial area.
It is not good to keep stay at your current health condition,
If really there is a problem with your health and you were
delaying for medication,it will make your condition even worse and
at last, you need to spent more money to cure it.

Itisbetter to seek consult whenever we feel something within our body. Always remember that health iswealth and prevention is still better than cure. Seeking consult doesnt only mean we are seeking for cure, it could also be seeking a doctor's advice. It is also better to seek consul to prevent further progression of the disease.

Thank you for your information. I knew it's most important to keep my health to live a long life, however the expensive hospital charge, I can't afford it all. And I dind't have health insurance, it's hard to afford all at the moment.

Hi Betty
From my personal experience, I must say that you should go to a doctor first. These illnesses might seem small at the start but may become quite serious as they are prolonged and proper treatment is not met at the early stages. I was diagnosed to have Ulcerative Colitis after about 5 years of having the disease and the doctors said that it could have been cured if diagnosed and treated early. Now its too late and I have to stay with this illness all my life.
Health is wealth and I realize that this is true. I understand that the financial burdens at this point would seem quite unbearable but it is better to have yourself examined at this stage rather than investing and undergoing the pains at a later stage.
Regards,
theSids.

Thanks betty for appreciating my response. But the more essential thing is having an initial checkup done so that the cause is known and so is its remedy... Life is precious and that is what I have learned. You also have a great loving husband by your side and that is what will make your life livable.
Get well soon and share more with us... Good Luck.
Regards,

What season is over there? If its winter season then its common that you have to visit toilet very frequently. If it's not; and this problem is bugging you for months now. You should better visit a doctor. Its not just about the weak kidney there are many other factors associated with you problem.
Do you have a health insurance? At least try to visit a government hospital for the check up. You will get the right picture there. Don't worry you problems are temporary, Believe in GOD; soon you will see the good times.

It's autumn season here, I always have this situation, sometimes it's not bad, sometimes it's very worse, I don't know why. It is getting cold these days, so I often go to toilets very much times than often, sometimes when I felt hungry, I am easily to go to toilets. Unfortunitely, I didn't have health insurance, it's very expensive to see doctor, it needs several hundred RMB to examine don't include any medicine and cure service.I once examine my body for this problem four years before, it's ok, doctor said I should ate tonic food and medicine, however four years passed, I didn't get a better situation. I worried it get worse or worse.However, when I want to go to see doctor, the main condition I consider is money, my family asked me to send money back at the end of this month, it seems very hard for me to examine.

I understand why you feel and think like that. I know how hard it is to be in a situation like that, like you wanted to keep hold on your savings for day to day expenses, bills and other expected expenses- and mostly for your kids sake.
However, I firmly believe that its better to see a doctor if you are feeling something really strange with your body, if you suspect that there is something unusual and wrong. It is better to detect what it is really to prevent more complications. Early detection is the key for less expensive medications. It prevents you too from being stress and worried about what your true health status is...
Wish you good health and God bless you financially. Don't worry He will provide.
