Hello, the underlying cause cannot yet be definitively diagnosed; therefore, relevant examinations are required—such as blood tests (including complete blood count and erythrocyte sedimentation rate), physical examination, measurement of vital signs, and assessment of the patient’s mental status as well as sensation and motor function in the lower limbs. If all findings are normal, close observation may be initiated. Additionally, increasing fluid intake is recommended to prevent electrolyte imbalances. Adjust your diet by incorporating fresh fruits and vegetables to promote nutritional balance. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant and healthy life!
