Dear Doctor, I am 53 and am a smoker and a drinker as well. I do exercises but very limited based on Yoga..The last time I did a full check nothing serious was found but since recently am having a tickling or itchy feeling around the kidney are..I have been a lot of stress in the last 5 years and am only beginning to come out of them now..I started reducing the frequency and the volumes in the last few months but don t feel a great improvement. As a precaution what should the dosage be before i repeat my full tests..Thanking in advance.
Hi Welcome to Chat Doctor forum.  You are having tickling, and itchy sensation in the kidney area. If it is outside may be the skin infection. If from deep in side, it may be related to the ascending and descending colon irritation, lastly may be due to gastric irritation.  Stopping the alcohol and consulting the doctor are different things, so go on reducing the alcohol till you stop completely.  Besides, you can consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have M.R.I, for diagnosis.  Avoid taking milk, milk products, wheat, and barley.  Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts and protein rich food to support the medicines.  Wising for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
