[Retention cyst—should surgery be performed? Ultrasound diagnosis: There is a 0.7 cm × 0.6 cm lesion inside the uterine cavity]{.underline}
Strong echo; multiple anechoic lesions with clear borders are visible on the cervix, with the largest measuring 0.6 cm × 0.6 cm.
[Will traditional Chinese medicine treatment be effective for this cyst? Can it be completely eradicated?]{.underline} Answer: The lesion in the uterine cavity is a fibroid, while the one on the cervix is a Naboth’s cyst. Both are indications for TCM’s blood circulation and stasis-resolving therapies. On this issue, both Western and Traditional Chinese medicine have their own arguments—each has its pros and cons, and neither is perfect. Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide. Western medicine’s advantage is that hysteroscopy allows for minimally invasive removal, but it can lead to long-term pelvic congestion syndrome and menstrual irregularities; TCM’s strength lies in using blood circulation and stasis-resolving methods to regulate the Chong and Ren meridians, which can eliminate tumors and cysts, but it requires a long course of treatment and is relatively inconvenient to take. 13. Liang Yan Sheng: Do you have any treatment experience for tumors? One of my children has lymphoma. Answer: Specifically, it’s malignant lymphoma. If it’s Hodgkin’s lymphoma, it’s a chronic tumor, and oral TCM can provide relief for decades or even a lifetime. If it’s non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, then Western chemotherapy combined with TCM is needed. This combination can achieve short-term effects; if TCM is taken after remission, the quality of life will be better. 14. Grassroots farmer: My son is almost three years old. His cervical lymph nodes are about the size of a peanut. After twelve days of intravenous infusion, they seem to have shrunk considerably and are now about the size of a bean. Are there any other treatment options? Answer: Your son probably has tonsillitis or enlarged tonsils. The swelling of the cervical lymph nodes is caused by tonsillitis, so the focus should be on treating the tonsillitis, and the swelling of the cervical lymph nodes will naturally subside. 15. Following the Wind: I found a recipe for treating psoriasis on Baidu, but I’m afraid to use it blindly. Could you please take a look for me? Ingredients: 50 grams each of ephedra, ledebouria, and dragon’s blood powder; 60 grams each of schizonepeta, black snake, whole insect, and centipede; 30 grams each of angelica root and peppermint; 20 grams each of asarum, cnidium, ginseng, Hainan sandalwood, and gold dust powder. Preparation method: Grind all the herbs finely, fill zero-size capsules, take four capsules three times a day. Answer: Judging from the composition of the herbs, this is a good formula for treating psoriasis, and the dosage isn’t too large either—four capsules each time isn’t excessive.
- Clearing the Heart: I’ve had chronic pharyngitis for several years. During that time, I tried TCM and saw some improvement, but due to work, I travel frequently and find it inconvenient to take decocted TCM. Could you recommend some proprietary TCM formulas for me? Answer: There are two proprietary TCM formulas you can choose from: Yangyin Qingfei Wan and Baihe Gujin Wan.
- Blue Turkey: Female, 13 years old, experienced low back and leg soreness but was treated as having rheumatism without any conclusive results. At 19, her back and leg pain became so severe that she couldn’t sleep, and an examination revealed a lumbar disc herniation. What medication can be used to treat this? Answer: The herniated disc often compresses the sciatic nerve, causing sciatica. The treatment should combine medication with physical therapy, acupuncture, and massage; surgery is only suitable for a very small number of cases.
- Ke Xin: After tympanic membrane repair surgery, can neural tinnitus be cured? Answer: Tympanic membrane repair surgery can’t be said to completely cure the condition. Medication is effective, but the effect is slow. If necessary, you’re welcome to visit my clinic.
Frequent urination, but with small volumes each time—only once or twice at night—
What could be the reason?
Answer: This is due to immature autonomic nervous system function. There’s no need for premature medication intervention; just wait until he develops further. If he recovers, then leave it alone.
The swelling has reduced, but now she’s experiencing severe pain in her left head and neck. Is there any medication that can relieve this one
Next?
Answer: I remember now—your grandmother has cor pulmonale and heart failure, and in addition, she also suffers from systemic degenerative osteoarthritis. These are two completely different conditions. Last time we focused on heart failure, and this time we’ll focus on her legs. As people get older, they can’t solve problems like this casually. We should conduct observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation, perform syndrome differentiation and treatment, and prescribe an effective formula tailored specifically to your grandmother.
Feeling dizzy, and in severe cases even falling down—though not yet a stroke, there are signs of one. I bought Japanese Natto capsules, and after taking them, I did feel somewhat better, but once I stopped, the symptoms returned. What’s a way to completely cure
this condition?
Answer: There are many drugs for treating arteriosclerosis, such as evening primrose oil, daphne, wintergreen, compound Danshen tablets, and kudzu powder. These are all symptomatic treatments, with only minor effects and no significant results. To achieve complete cure, we must rely on observation, auscultation, inquiry, palpation, and syndrome differentiation and treatment, prescribing a formula that’s perfectly suited to your situation.

It gets better when the menstrual period arrives. What's going on?
What medicine should I take?

Dì, Huangqí, Dāngshēn, Báizhú, Fúlíng,
Not sure if it's safe to take?
Answer: This is a typical case of pediatric nephrotic syndrome. In Western medicine, apart from hormones and pentoxifylline, there is no other effective treatment. Hormones only provide short-term relief but do not offer a cure; the more they are used, the harder it becomes to discontinue them. Eventually, many children develop moon-faced features, excessive hair growth, and acne, making it difficult to stop the medication. Traditional Chinese Medicine, through methods such as warming the kidneys and strengthening yang, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, regulating qi and reducing swelling, often achieves good results.
Thirsty, so much that it wakes me up in the middle of the night
. How should I get checked and treated?
Answer: Are you an elderly person or a young adult? For young adults presenting with these symptoms, chronic pharyngitis should be considered first. During the day, when busy with work, one may not feel any discomfort, but at night, when it's quiet, the symptoms of chronic pharyngitis become more pronounced. This condition often causes chest tightness and, in severe cases, can even lead to upper airway syndrome (CAV).
Day, usually my period is delayed by a week, and on March 10th I had a color ultrasound examination of the endometrium
Not good.
Answer: After the wedding, the bride is immersed in a state of high tension, excitement, and happiness. This very state, however, can actually cause menstrual irregularities. Although the period is delayed, it doesn't necessarily mean pregnancy. Perhaps this is God's arrangement to allow young couples to enjoy this happy life for a little longer. There's no need to worry—after this period, the menstrual cycle will gradually return to normal.
Due to physical reasons, my husband is unable to have children. Recently, the breast pain has worsened. Could it turn into cancer? I've taken

Thirty Mom: Last year, I was pregnant for 40 days when the fetus stopped developing. I don't know why, but I myself have multiple uterine fibroids, all relatively small—the largest is 1.4 cm × 1.2 cm. This year, I want to have a baby, but this month my period is delayed by five days and the flow is very light. I think it might be due to hormonal imbalance, so I'd like to take some deer placenta paste to tonify qi and blood. However, since I have uterine fibroids, it seems I shouldn't take it. I've heard that turtle shell and angelica can help dissolve uterine fibroids, so I'd like to try them. Answer: The two things you mentioned cannot treat your condition. You should undergo a comprehensive medical examination.

Life Style: 40 years old, recently after three sexual encounters, there was a lot of bleeding, and in one severe instance it lasted for a whole day. I went to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor recommended a cervical cancer screening. But I already had a checkup last October and everything was fine, and the doctor also checked my cervix and found nothing wrong. I don't know what to do—what exactly is going on? Answer: Patients with pelvic congestion syndrome experience "three pains and one bleeding." The "three pains" refer to abdominal pain during menstruation, pain while walking, and pain during intercourse, while the "one bleeding" refers to bleeding during intercourse. Generally, bleeding during intercourse isn't usually this severe. Since you've been bleeding for a whole day, you should get your platelet count checked to see if there's an underlying blood disorder.

Ting: I have three questions I'd like you to answer. ① What does sinus arrhythmia mean, and is it serious? ② I often have diarrhea, and eating too much greasy food makes me even more prone to diarrhea. How should I regulate my diet? ③ You suggested I give thymosin capsules to my one-year-old child. I bought enteric-coated tablets. Is it okay for him to take 10 mg per day? Answer: First, to be precise, it should be called sinus arrhythmia. This includes sinus bradycardia, sinus tachycardia, and sinus arrhythmia, which are manifestations of autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Even healthy individuals' autonomic nervous systems are constantly changing, and occasional dysregulation can occur. This isn't considered a disease. Second, your condition indicates spleen-stomach yang deficiency. You can choose to use Shenling Baizhu San, Fuzi Lizhong Wan, or Jianpi Wan.

Haiyun Tian and Fisherman's Comment: What causes numbness in the skin and muscles of the thighs during sleep? It's on the right side and has been going on for a long time. After waking up, tapping it helps a bit. Answer: This is a dysfunction of the peripheral nerves in the skin. Even healthy people can experience this symptom, but those lacking vitamin B complex are more likely to have it. It's recommended to take vitamin B1, B2, or methylcobalamin tablets orally.

PENG Night Owl: I'm in my fifties this year, and my right knee feels a bit uncomfortable. Going up and down stairs causes slight pain, and it's a bit difficult to squat and stand up. What could be the reason? Answer: This is typical degenerative osteoarthritis, a chronic wear-and-tear of the joints. Massage, physiotherapy, acupuncture, and tuina can all be tried first.

Dangdang's Comment: Female, 30 years old. I was diagnosed with chronic gastritis, cholecystitis, and adnexitis at your clinic. I've already recovered, but the dizziness hasn't gone away. On June 7, 2014, I suddenly started feeling dizzy every day, and only fall asleep when I'm really tired. No matter what I do, my body keeps shaking. An MRI of the head and neck showed no problems, but the right carotid artery is only 1.9 mm wide. On April 1st, my HDL cholesterol level was 2.84 mmol/L. Where's the problem? I can't even work because of the dizziness.
Answer: Judging from your age and the simple data you provided, there aren't any major cardiovascular issues. You're welcome to come back to my clinic. I estimate that a few courses of medication will be effective. 5. Shali Fei: Female, in her fifties, suffering from ventricular premature beats (double-source paired). How should I treat this with traditional Chinese medicine? Answer: If ventricular premature beats are occasional, they may not necessarily indicate organic disease. However, if they occur frequently, organic disease should be considered. First, coronary heart disease needs to be ruled out. Of course, women in their fifties are often in the perimenopausal period, when endocrine and autonomic nervous system disorders are most common. Under these circumstances, the likelihood of occasional ventricular premature beats is very high. 6. Chengdu: My father just underwent surgery to remove the middle and lower segments of his esophagus for cancer. Pathological examination revealed poorly differentiated cancer that has invaded the entire layer. The cardia, lungs, and lymph nodes haven't metastasized yet. The doctor recommends chemotherapy, but our family doesn't want to proceed with it. Can traditional Chinese medicine control cancer metastasis and recurrence? Answer: Surgery requires chemotherapy. Typically, patients need 4–8 rounds of chemotherapy. In my opinion, for middle-aged and elderly patients over 60, four rounds are sufficient. However, it's essential to combine this with traditional Chinese medicine, which can reduce the side effects of surgery and chemotherapy, delay recurrence, and improve quality of life. 7. Someone: Female, 35 years old, with significant swelling and pain around the urethral opening and vulva. She had hysteroscopy and ovarian cyst surgery a month ago. How should this condition be treated? Answer: This is vulvitis, including Bartholin's gland inflammation. The Bartholin's gland is a normal physiological gland that secretes lubricating fluid. Once it becomes inflamed, redness, heat, swelling, and pain occur. Western anti-inflammatory drugs are very effective in such cases, especially intravenous antibiotics.
- Four Years' Comment: My period has always been irregular. It's been three months now, and still hasn't come. How should I regulate my menstrual cycle? Answer: How old are you? That's very important! If you're over 45, it's okay if your period doesn't come—it's probably just the perimenopausal stage. If you're under 20, that's also fine; it's adolescent syndrome and will usually normalize on its own after a while. If you're in the post-marital reproductive age, then you should get checked, as there may be gynecological diseases.
And sometimes there's lower back pain, as if it were my period, but it hasn't come yet, so the menstrual cycle is basically normal
Usually, is this pain caused by gynecological inflammation? If it is, then Should traditional Chinese medicine or Western
Medicine treat it?
Answer: This is ovulatory dysmenorrhea. When there's a gynecological infection, this kind of situation often occurs. You should get a gynecological examination to see if there's cervical inflammation, adnexitis, or pelvic inflammatory disease. [3. Blinds: My friend (female), Has had mammary hyperplasia for ten years, and has taken many medications, But the effect]{.underline}
Is minimal
. Are there any new treatments?
Answer: Mammary hyperplasia isn't a serious illness. Traditional Chinese medicine works very well—there's virtually no case where it doesn't work. You should find an experienced TCM doctor, and of course, further examinations are needed to rule out malignant breast diseases. Answer: Yang-toxin skin shows mottled patterns like brocade, while yin-toxin skin appears dark and dull, as if beaten. The former is usually a rash or petechiae caused by acute infectious diseases, whereas the latter is chronic subcutaneous hemorrhage, such as thrombocytopenia. Answer: Occasional ventricular premature beats without any symptoms, normal blood pressure, and normal lipid profile, cardiac enzyme spectrum, troponin, and procalcitonin levels—no treatment is necessary.
