Although ginger is considered a harmless remedial substance for a wide range of medical complaints, according to Persian medicinal texts, its long-term or high-dose consumption is potentially harmful.
The case of a 43-year-old man, with a complaint of urinary stream interruption, dysuria, and flank pain, following a non-prescribed use of ginger was reported. The symptoms were reported to persist for four years, despite some medical referrals. Remarkably, the symptoms were attested to be shrinking eight weeks after ginger-intake cessation; besides, no further intervention was asserted.
The history of herbal remedies use should be considered in patients with any unexplained urinary symptoms.
尽管生姜被认为是一种对多种医疗病症无害的治疗物质，但根据波斯医学文献，长期或高剂量食用生姜可能有害。
报告了一名43岁男性的病例，该患者在非医嘱使用生姜后出现尿流中断、排尿困难和侧腹疼痛的症状。尽管曾寻求过一些医疗建议，但这些症状据报告持续了四年。值得注意的是，在停止食用生姜八周后，症状据称有所减轻；此外，未采取进一步干预措施。
对于有任何不明原因泌尿系统症状的患者，应考虑其使用草药疗法的病史。
