They say surgery is needed. I already had one last year. How do you think I should
                                       treat it?

Answer: Multiple breast fibroids can be left alone if they’re painless, itch-free, and asymptomatic—no surgery is needed. If there’s pain or distension and discomfort, first treat the inflammation. Once the inflammation subsides, the symptoms disappear, and surgery is no longer necessary. Of course, TCM is the best choice, aiming to eliminate symptoms and shrink the lumps. Based on my experience, unless there are signs of cancer, it’s best to avoid surgery, because whether it’s a fibroid or a fibroadenoma, once you remove one, another one tends to grow right away. But if you don’t operate, the growth stops altogether.

After the last medication change, the swelling has gotten much worse. What could be the reason? Is it the medication change itself


The reason?

Answer: Adjusting the prescription can only improve the condition—it can’t make it worse. Diet, colds, and overwork are major causes of recurrence of nephrotic syndrome. Keep taking the medication, and come back for follow-up after finishing it. You yourself control these factors, so don’t take them lightly.

[West, no intravenous drip, only crushed cactus applied externally and oral medication. The doctor said he’s worried about lymph nodes]{.underline}

[Suppurative lesions affect appearance, so antibiotics are considered essential. Could you please advise?]{.underline}

Answer: Antibiotics are indeed the first choice for treating inflammation, but their effect is rather limited—they mainly suppress the pathogenicity of the causative agent, with relatively little impact on the body’s immune response. Your child’s swollen lymph nodes fall under the category of immune response, so I recommend seeing a TCM doctor. TCM can address both the pathogenicity of the disease (inflammation) and the body’s immune response (swollen lymph nodes), whereas antibiotics only treat the former. TCM is better at handling the latter. [9. Lei: My baby fell while playing in the water the morning before yesterday, and now walks with a limp, When]{.underline}

Answer: It’s not serious. Trauma is a pathogenic factor, while elevated enzyme levels are a reactive response of the body. TCM excels at regulating such patients—treating the local area while also caring for the whole body. The child will recover quickly. As for specific formulas, they must be tailored to the individual’s condition. This is the hallmark of TCM. If you try to use a single formula to treat everyone, you’ll violate this principle and won’t achieve ideal results.


                       10. Dream Journey to the West: I have phlegm-dampness and internal heat.
                        Can Zhu Ling Tang and Er Chen Tang be taken together?

Answer: Er Chen Tang is the basic formula for treating phlegm-dampness, while Zhu Ling Tang targets the urinary system. If there’s visceral heat moving into the bowels—meaning internal heat combined with short, red, and painful urination—then Zhu Ling Tang can be used.


            Adenitis, please
      Ask if you have a good prescription?

Answer: Your child’s mumps needs to be questioned. Mumps isn’t something you get every year; it’s an immune-related disease. I suspect your child has tonsillitis—when a cold hits, the tonsils flare up, and the lymph nodes swell. Such patients need prompt treatment; otherwise, repeated outbreaks will weaken the child’s immunity, leading to congenital deficiencies and lifelong frailty, affecting their future prospects.


         12. Mo Mo’s comment: I’m 25 years old and unmarried. I suffer from premature ejaculation,
                                  How should I treat it?

Answer: We need to sound the alarm now—no more masturbation. Premature ejaculation caused by this habit becomes even more troublesome after marriage, bringing greater pressure and jeopardizing family happiness. Of course, taking some kidney-tonifying and astringent medicines can also help, but the key is self-discipline; medication comes second. 13. La Mei’s winter comment: Sometimes my body suddenly feels unwell, especially when I’m stationary, I experience various strange sensations—mainly dizziness, followed by numbness in the precordial region and difficulty breathing. Moving around makes me feel better. Recently, I’ve been unable to sleep at all. Many doctors haven’t figured out what’s wrong. I’ve been taking Delexin for a year—can I keep taking this medication long-term? Answer: This medication shouldn’t be taken long-term. You suffer from both heart and spleen deficiency. From a Western medical perspective, your blood pressure is probably low, and the discomfort and numbness in the precordial region are due to insufficient blood supply. 14. Snowflake’s comment: My whole body skin is extremely dry, especially in winter. If I don’t shower for a few days, I’ll shed a lot of dead skin when I take off my autumn pants. This has been the case since puberty. My facial skin is so dry it itches. Normally, I apply a little makeup, otherwise my face becomes dry and flaky, and I’m prone to acne, oily skin, and blackheads. What’s causing this problem? Does TCM have any good treatments? Answer: TCM is quite effective for treating this condition. Patients like this usually have lighter menstrual flows. Activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis can increase menstrual flow and reduce facial acne, all stemming from reduced estrogen levels.

  1. Li Wei: Male, 26 years old, glandular cystitis. I’ve already undergone electroresection and bladder irrigation. Are there any good TCM treatments for this condition?
<!-- translated-chunk:14/41 -->

Answer: Adenocystitis is very difficult to treat. It is a precancerous lesion, and in principle, electroresection or surgery should be avoided because the lesions are relatively scattered, making it hard to remove them completely, which may instead stimulate recurrence. Traditional Chinese medicine can be effective, but not in the short term; long-term treatment is required. Some patients can achieve complete cure, while most will experience therapeutic benefits. 2. Junzi Wuji: How should osteophytes be treated, and what precautions should be taken in daily life? Answer: The principle of treating osteophytes is to reduce the reactivity of local muscles and nerves, thereby alleviating pain and discomfort, rather than trying to stop the osteophytes from growing. Of course, calcium supplements and vitamins...


           It's abdominal distension at night before going to bed, and the bloating is quite uncomfortable,
                               What could be the reason?

Answer: You may have chronic gastritis. Chronic gastritis can also lead to functional gastrointestinal disorders, known as gastroenteric syndrome. The hallmark of gastroenteric syndrome is abdominal distension, which does not necessarily occur only before bedtime, but abdominal distension is the basic symptom.


              2. Yang Min: My daughter is 6 years old and has recently experienced frequent urination,   without any other discomfort,


           Urinalysis results at the hospital are normal. What could be the reason?
                               What medication can she take?

Answer: This indicates a mild infection at the urethral opening. A small dose of antibiotics, such as amoxicillin, should be taken. However, norfloxacin is not suitable for children and should not be used.


        Red pimples appear. Toxins in the body cannot be eliminated,
                             What medication should be taken?

Answer: It is likely that your estrogen levels are low. The pimples that appear are actually acne, which can occur not only on the face but also on the chest and back. Western medicine can treat this with estradiol and progesterone, while traditional Chinese medicine, through promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, regulating Chong and Ren meridians, offers more stable effects and has no side effects.

Zhang. Only one-quarter of the lungs are functioning normally. How can this condition be controlled? Now facing


       Poor immunity,
        Frequent colds?

Answer: Many elderly patients present with such conditions. The main focus is to prevent colds and further lung infections, while also treating heart failure. Signs of heart failure include palpitations, shortness of breath, and lower limb edema. Outpatient treatment is not suitable; comprehensive inpatient treatment is necessary to achieve significant therapeutic effects. Answer: For such patients, you should no longer worry about whether injections are painful or not. First, consider extending her survival time and improving her quality of life. If injections are needed, administer them; if medication is required, give it; if traditional Chinese medicine is appropriate, use it; if Western medicine is suitable, use it as well.


             Skin,
  Scalp tends to be oily and itchy.

Answer: You have seborrheic alopecia. It is recommended to use one liang of ginger and one liang of Platycladus orientalis leaves, both finely chopped, boiled in water, and used to wash your hair once or twice daily.

      Where should I register? How can I contact them? If I cannot come in person for now,
                                              Could you recommend a

  1. Yaoyao: I am 40 years old, female, Since last year, I have felt a lump on the outer side of my left knee, but it doesn't hurt. There is also a lump on the inner side, occasionally causing pain. The lumps seem to move around, and when my mobility is restricted, shaking my leg or rubbing it helps relieve the discomfort. My left knee was injured ten years ago and healed on its own without treatment. What could be the reason? Answer: Degenerative osteoarthritis is quite likely. There are many medications available to treat this condition. If you can come to my clinic for diagnosis and treatment.

  2. Wangzi: I am 26 years old, and my Adam's apple is almost unnoticeable. Is this normal? Moreover, they say my voice sounds a bit abnormal. Answer: The Adam's apple is not always palpable. Of course, most men have an Adam's apple, but some men have a less prominent one, which is a normal phenomenon.

  3. Qiu Xin commented: My child is 5 years old and has been coughing frequently at night over the past two years, sometimes even vomiting after eating. I am very worried because this happens every time, while there is no problem during the day. Could there be some misunderstanding in this regard? Answer: Your child probably has chronic pharyngitis combined with enlarged tonsils. Patients with such conditions are prone to coughing and vomiting, but it is not a major problem. They can visit the outpatient clinic for examination. Western medicine treatment is not as good as traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine uses methods such as promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, softening hard masses and dispersing nodules, clearing heat and detoxifying, warming the stomach and stopping vomiting, which provide comprehensive treatment with excellent efficacy.

  4. Comments on TCM miscellaneous topics: I always have excessive phlegm, and a hospital examination diagnosed me with chronic pharyngitis. Is there any folk remedy? Answer: Chronic pharyngitis is a common disease among people in Gansu Province, but it is less common in southern regions. It should not be ignored, as it can lead to cough variant asthma, upper airway cough syndrome, and if left untreated for a long time, it can even cause emphysema, cor pulmonale, and heart failure. It is recommended to visit my clinic for diagnosis and treatment.

It's heat toxin, blood stasis in the body, and menstrual flow is light, with frequent abdominal distension , What should be done for treatment or regulation?


          how
to treat or regulate?

Answer: Light menstrual flow and facial acne are typical signs of low estrogen levels. This situation is often seen in patients who have undergone multiple induced abortions, especially those who had medical abortions. Low estrogen levels not only result in reduced menstrual flow but also often accompany pelvic inflammatory disease. In traditional Chinese medicine, this condition is treated by promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, clearing heat and detoxifying, and regulating Chong and Ren meridians. This is actually a comprehensive treatment approach with overall and significant therapeutic effects.

The effect is not very good. After nearly a month of taking traditional Chinese medicine, the effect is still not obvious , the abdomen is still


                      very bloated
  , and the person has lost a lot of weight. What should be done?

Answer: Based on my experience, your father is no longer suitable for surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or interventional procedures. The only option is to strengthen the body's vital energy and treat symptoms, which can slightly extend survival time and reduce suffering. Any aggressive attack against cancer will only promote its progression, shorten survival time, and degrade quality of life.


What medication is best?

Answer: This is a case of cross-infection, most commonly seen in rural women. Both conditions need to be treated simultaneously. Antibiotics are effective, but for symptoms like frequent urination, urgency, pain during urination, and vaginal discharge, as well as vulvar itching, timely treatment is also necessary.


            There is a rupture at the joint, and white powder is leaking out,
                             Is there a prescription for treatment?

Answer: This is a typical urate stone. Although Western medicines such as allopurinol, probenecid, and colchicine are effective, they have significant side effects and cannot be used long-term. Traditional Chinese medicine works well, but requires taking a detailed medical history, performing physical examination, asking questions, and feeling the pulse to make a diagnosis and then prescribe treatment accordingly. 106 It started as red spots, extremely itchy, worse at night than during the day, causing sleepless nights due to intense itching. Over the past three days, the symptoms have significantly worsened, mainly on the trunk and less on the limbs. The doctor said it might be pityriasis rosea. I have used intramuscular calcium, intravenous calcium, vitamin C, sugar, applied hormones, and taken oral hormones. Is there a good treatment method in traditional Chinese medicine? Answer: Pityriasis rosea is a rose-colored, itchy rash about 0.5–1 cm in diameter, commonly found on the front and back of the body. Traditional Chinese medicine is very effective. You are welcome to visit my clinic for treatment. 7. Forever Smile commented: I gave birth on April 22nd, and two days later I noticed swelling on both sides of the baby's skull. When gently pressed, the inside feels soft, possibly containing fluid. It hasn't gone down yet, and I'm very worried. What examinations should be done? Answer: Don't be afraid. This is subcutaneous edema caused by pressure on the skin during the perinatal period. Applying a warm compress with 10% magnesium sulfate solution is effective, but be careful not to burn the skin. 8. Wandering Outside commented: My mother has recently been feeling a bitter taste in her mouth, and everything she eats seems tasteless. What could be the reason? Answer: According to traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis: "The disease of Shaoyang is characterized by bitterness in the mouth, dry throat, and dizziness; however, having just one of these symptoms is enough, there is no need for all symptoms to be present." This is Shaoyang disease, which belongs to autonomic nervous system dysfunction. It is recommended to try taking Xiaochaihu Wan and Xiaoyao Wan orally.
