Q: I used to drink frequently, which led to spleen-stomach deficiency-cold. Now, whenever I drink alcohol or eat spicy or cold food, I get diarrhea, and I also experience occasional diarrhea in everyday life. Over time, this has triggered scrotal eczema, anal itching, and other symptoms. I’ve tried many medications, but none have worked.
This condition has persisted for several years, and since I’ve already developed underlying issues, I now cough whenever I catch a cold. What should I do?
A: You have at least three conditions: ① chronic gastritis combined with gastrointestinal syndrome; ② chronic pharyngitis; ③ lower-body eczema. The first two are related to drinking, while the third’s connection to alcohol is unclear. You need systematic treatment—not a haphazard approach.
- Blood Pearl: I’m 19 years old. My right ear has been ringing incessantly for the past four days. With the college entrance exam coming up soon, I’m very anxious. Could you please help me analyze this and suggest what medication I should take?
A: You had a mild cold two days ago, which you may not have even realized. The cold caused inflammation of one of your eustachian tubes, leading to this symptom. Try Fangfeng Tongsheng Wan or Jingfang Baidu Wan.
- Let It Be: My dad is 66 years old. Two years ago, he strained his leg while working, and now his leg hurts whenever the weather changes—even before the injury, his leg would hurt when the weather changed. Dr. Pei, what medication should my dad take?
A: This is muscle strain, possibly compounded by degenerative osteoarthritis. Try buying some ready-made medicines that dispel wind and dampness, such as Da Huoluo Dan, Xiao Huoluo Dan, or Huoluo Xiaoling Dan. You can also apply topical pain-relieving patches (choose whichever you prefer).
- Kuang: Female, 33 years old, married, with several previous abortions, and hepatitis B positive for 10 years without any treatment, though liver function is normal. Over the past six months, she’s had trouble sleeping—difficulty falling asleep and easy arousal. She also has many age spots, light menstrual flow, and prolonged periods. I’d like you to analyze this situation.
A: You’ve been too careless. Being hepatitis B positive means the virus is actively replicating. In such cases, liver function is likely to be compromised, and the body’s autonomic and endocrine systems will also be affected. Your multiple abortions have led to ovarian dysfunction, and the age spots and menstrual irregularities are all caused by this.
- kk: My father is 56 years old. Whenever he suddenly looks up, his face turns pale, his lips turn purple, and he feels weak. His blood pressure is normal, but his lipid levels are high, and his cardiac angiography is also normal. Could you please take some time to analyze this for me?
A: High lipid levels indicate arteriosclerosis, which makes patients prone to transient cerebral ischemia.
- Cao Chunxue: My wife is 35 years old. After ^131I treatment for hyperthyroidism, she hasn’t had her period for three months. Now she’s experiencing sexual apathy. The gynecologist suggested hormone therapy. What’s the best way to treat this?
A: Personally, I believe ^131I is an ideal choice for treating thyroid cancer. However, it’s not ideal for treating hyperthyroidism, because the dosage is difficult to calculate precisely. Due to individual differences, calculations based on physical parameters often exceed actual needs, leading not only to hypothyroidism but also to dysfunction of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis and overall decline in bodily functions. This results in premature aging in women and erectile dysfunction in men, with symptoms following one after another—truly a nightmare for patients in their thirties.
- Spring: My girlfriend has suffered from chronic constipation for over ten years, with acne on her face and frequent bloating. After taking Buzhong Yiqi Wan, she often passes gas, but still only has a bowel movement once every three days. What medication should she take to treat this?
A: Chronic constipation in young women is often a manifestation of prolonged sympathetic nervous system excitation. Such patients tend to have relatively high levels of male hormones, which makes them prone to acne. In TCM, treating this condition involves both activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, regulating the Chong and Ren channels, as well as clearing heat and draining fire. Western medicine currently doesn’t have a good solution for this condition. However, rest assured—these symptoms are temporary and can be cured with proper treatment.
- Qiu Xinyi: I’m about to take the college entrance exam, and lately I’ve been yawning and having a runny nose every morning, which makes me feel really miserable. Sometimes my condition is even worse. How should I adjust myself? If I keep going like this, I’ll have no chance of passing the exam. Could you please suggest some specific methods?
A: Excessive mental stress can throw the immune system into chaos, so it’s important to balance work and rest. Engaging in moderate physical exercise alongside studying can help improve your condition. Right now, you can buy Jingfang Baidu San and take it.
- Feng Qingyang: My grandmother is 66 years old. A CT scan revealed a suspected soft tissue structure in her left lung. She’s short of breath, has chest pain, and her appetite is good. The doctor recommended a bronchoscopy. However, it’s said that bronchoscopy is too painful and risky, and the whole family is very worried, hesitating about whether to proceed. In your opinion, which diseases are most likely? Is bronchoscopy necessary for my grandmother’s condition? If it’s lung cancer, what treatment should be adopted, and how long can she survive after treatment?
A: Bronchoscopy can be postponed for now, because it only allows visualization of lesions near the lung hilum, and areas farther away may not be clearly seen. If possible, please bring your grandmother’s imaging films so I can take a look.
- Zhang Zongbing: Male, 25 years old. His gums bleed chronically, and now his gums are slightly receding. Is there any treatment for this? Could it be related to his stomach? I often feel discomfort in my stomach, with thick tongue coating and cracks.
Q: 28 years old, married for 2 years, has always had severe dysmenorrhea. Every time half a month before menstruation, my abdomen hurts; even during ovulation, I feel like I'm about to have my period. Especially after using the toilet or engaging in vigorous exercise, the pain worsens. Once menstruation starts, the symptoms disappear. There is also an inflammatory mass in the left fallopian tube. What could be the cause, and can traditional Chinese medicine cure it?
A: The adnexal mass may be an adnexal cyst, which is somewhat related to dysmenorrhea. For treating this condition, traditional Chinese medicine should be the first choice. Through syndrome differentiation and individualized treatment, dysmenorrhea can be cured, and the mass can shrink. I do not recommend readily resorting to Western surgical treatment.
