  1. Wu Guifang: Previously diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, with follicles on both sides larger than 20mm. During examination, follicle-stimulating hormone levels were normal, and there was a dominant follicle, but no pregnancy occurred. In February, she visited a TCM doctor who said her yang energy wasn't rising. After taking traditional Chinese medicine, her period came. I'd like to ask: Even if pregnancy isn't possible, can it be regulated so that she gets her period on time every month? Answer: Yes, it's one of the strengths of TCM. Some cases of polycystic ovary syndrome have even developed into polycystic ovarian syndrome (obesity, hirsutism, amenorrhea). With consistent syndrome differentiation and treatment, some cases can be cured, and some may even give birth.
  2. Forever Smile's Comment: My father has had shoulder joint pain for several years, unable to raise his arm. During cupping therapy, water comes out. How should it be treated? Answer: It's normal for water to come out during cupping. Even people without pain can have water drawn out. The first choice for treating periarthritis of the shoulder isn't cupping, but massage. Applying pressure to the painful spot combined with forced movement of the elbow joint can produce immediate effects.
  3. Forever Smile's Comment: My aunt has a slight spinal curvature that affects the nerves, causing reflected pain throughout the body. The doctor says surgery is needed, costing hundreds of thousands, yet the outcome is uncertain. Besides surgery, are there any other treatments? Answer: Many people have spinal curvature. Some surveys show that in rural areas, one-third of the population has it. If there are no obvious symptoms, there's no need to worry. Forced intervention or excessive treatment can lead to serious consequences.
  4. LAX: My child wakes up with a persistent sore throat in the morning, and can't cough up phlegm. What's going on, and what medicine should be taken to improve this? Answer: This is chronic pharyngitis. Taking Yangyin Qingfei Wan or Baihe Gujin Wan can be effective.

11. DPP: Based on your clinical experience, how long does it usually take for hepatitis B big three positive to achieve therapeutic effect? Answer: It varies from person to person and depends on the medication. From my experience, combining traditional Chinese medicine with antiviral drugs and adhering to daily medication can turn half of the cases into small three positive within two months, and over 80% within a year. Of course, during medication, one shouldn't skip doses or take them inconsistently. 12. Que Ta Zhi's Comment: What causes the hard lump I feel above the sternum? It feels like a tumor. What should I do? Answer: If there are no symptoms, it's just the xiphoid process of the sternum—it's not a disease, so there's no need to worry. If you have severe symptoms, you can't rule out tumors such as liver cancer, bile duct cancer, stomach cancer, or pancreatic cancer. Of course, to confirm a tumor, you need to go to a specialized hospital for a thorough examination. 13. Fu Luo Bu's Loving Comment: I've had anal fissures ever since giving birth, and medication hasn't helped. Do I really have to undergo surgery? Are there any other methods? Answer: Anal fissures shouldn't be operated on. The more you operate, the worse it gets. Post-surgical scars are even more severe than the original fissure. Using sitz baths, medication, and laxatives can gradually improve the condition, ultimately achieving the desired effect.

  1. Jingjing: My father is 50 this year, and a few days ago, he suddenly felt severe pain in the lower back while sitting up, with no prior warning. After that, it became difficult to move, with pain concentrated in the lower back, just above the buttocks, and diarrhea occurring four times a day. Upon inquiry, the possibility of lumbar disc herniation seems low, while sciatica is more likely. He rested at home for a day and showed some improvement. What good remedies are there? Answer: I recommend taking a sagittal lumbar MRI. Diarrhea and lower back pain aren't strongly related, so I suggest taking Fuzi Lizhong Wan orally.
  2. Dangdang's Comment: So should I continue injecting thymopentin? How many courses of injection are usually needed for someone like me? In March this year, I had a cold for over a month, and only got better after taking the prescribed traditional Chinese medicine. In May, I caught another cold, received injections, IV drips, and took traditional Chinese medicine, but still haven't recovered. Please advise! Answer: Thymopentin is currently considered the best for preventing colds, but for individ

er also benefits.

  1. Father: I have a patient who caught a cold last month and developed a fever at night. After treatment, the headache improved, but the nose keeps running, and in the morning, I noticed blood scabs around the lips. Recently, there's been a bit of fever again, coughing, phlegm, and extreme fatigue. What prescription should be given? Answer: It should be diagnosed as chronic rhinitis complicated by upper respiratory infection. We need to treat both the upper respiratory infection and the rhinitis. Some blood vessels under the nasal mucosa are exposed, making bleeding easy. Western medicine uses local cryotherapy and compression to stop bleeding, but these methods aren't as effective as traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine treats such bleeding by nourishing yin and reducing fire, guiding the blood downward, with excellent results.
  2. Physician: Is motor neuron disease serious, and why does it occur? What good treatments does Traditional Chinese Medicine offer? Answer: Motor neuron disease includes amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, progressive amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and muscular atrophy-related amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Currently, there's no effective cure for this disease. Strictly speaking, childhood polio is also classified as a motor neuron disease because it's contagious. Fortunately, there's now a preventive vaccine available, administered as sugar pills or oral drops.
  3. Perseverance: Does staying up late disrupt endocrine function? Recently, I've often stayed up until 1 or 2 AM, and others say my complexion looks sallow. Besides avoiding late nights, what medicine can improve skin color? Answer: Staying up late doesn't disrupt endocrine function for everyone. At least for a small portion of people, it can cause such disruption, much like motion sickness. Not everyone gets motion sickness, only a small fraction does. This shows individual differences. From the perspective of modern molecular biology, it's due to genetic polymorphism. The question of what medicine to take isn't so simple. One needs to visit a clinic for diagnosis through observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation, followed by syndrome differentiation and treatment.
  1. Biao Bai (⊙o ⊙): Female, 35, married, previously experienced intermittent dizziness without seeking medical treatment, but recently fainted. Hospital examination revealed a tumor the size of an egg on the meninges, and she just underwent surgery at the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University. The doctors said they won't close the bone opening on the head for now, and further surgery is still needed. Currently, she's taking anti-epileptic medication, and her diet is fine, but her brain occasionally experiences Answer: This is a meningioma, which is benign. The tumor has been removed, and postoperative reactive hydrocephalus is expected, leading to increased intracranial pressure. Therefore, the bone opening cannot be closed yet; it will be sealed only after the intracranial pressure decreases. This isn't a second surgery. The disease is curable. Tell the patient to relax and maintain a positive attitude—this is equivalent to a good medicine.

To eat well?

Answer: Which lumbar vertebra is slipping? If it's L4L5, it's not a big deal, only stimulating the cauda equina; if it's L1L2, it's more troublesome, and some patients may need surgical correction.


Three Yang, after following your advice and taking traditional Chinese medicine for over two months, the medication has now run out,
                                                    Next

The supplementary medicine will take about 20 days to arrive, so if we stop for a while, will it affect the condition's recovery


transition?

Answer: It's best not to stop. If there's no other option, then we have to stop, but 20 days will have some impact, though this impact is still within a compensable range.

When wiping, a piece of flesh actually fell off!


It’s dark purple with some white stripes, slightly smaller than an egg—so scary! What could be the reason? What should I do?


What should I do?

Answer: This kind of situation can happen. If menstrual cessation after pregnancy is not obvious, or if you were careless and didn’t calculate precisely, it’s possible that newlyweds often experience menstrual irregularities due to excessive excitement and tension during the honeymoon period. Conception during this time may lead to the situation you just described—possibly a miscarriage.


               4. Love Is Simple Comment: Urethritis and prostatitis,
                                 How should they be treated?

Answer: From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, both conditions are caused by damp-heat descending. As the ancients said, “When damp-heat stagnates in the bladder and qi cannot transform, urinary retention occurs.” In TCM, there isn’t a strict distinction between the prostate and the urethra; both are categorized under the concept of the “bladder.” The general treatment principle is to clear heat and drain dampness, regulate qi, and relieve pain. There are many herbal formulas for this, but the specific prescription must be determined through syndrome differentiation.


                      5. Special Affection:
          Which medication is best for allergic dermatitis?

Answer: There are so many types of allergic dermatitis that it’s impossible to explain in just a few sentences. If necessary, you’re welcome to visit my clinic.


           Tinnitus,
      Can traditional Chinese medicine cure it?

Answer: Neurogenic tinnitus is very difficult to treat. To date, neither TCM nor Western medicine has a particularly effective method. In elderly patients, tinnitus is often related to cerebral arteriosclerosis. For such patients, it’s important to lower blood pressure, reduce lipids, improve blood viscosity, and use methods that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, which often prove effective.

The flow is light, and it stops within two days. What should I do now? Should I see a TCM doctor? Answer: For a 40-year-old woman with light menstrual flow, it’s likely due to decreased levels of estrogen (E2 and P). Western hormone replacement therapy (HRT) only addresses the symptoms, while TCM’s regulation of Chong and Ren channels and promotion of blood circulation and removal of blood stasis treat both the root cause and the symptoms.

I snore loudly when I sleep, especially on my side (I used to snore much less). When I sleep on my side, the snoring is much quieter, and the sound isn’t as loud.


               So it’s not that loud—what could be the problem?
                         Should I go to the hospital for a checkup?

Answer: You should go to the hospital for a checkup. It’s likely your child has chronic pharyngitis combined with enlarged tonsils. Due to local inflammatory reactions, the muscles of the pharynx relax, leading to snoring. In adults, obesity, alcohol consumption, hypertension, and arteriosclerosis can also cause snoring by relaxing the pharyngeal muscles.


         9. Zhang Pan Comment: My child is 1 year and 8 months old and has a fever,
                                 with elevated blood counts—what should I do?

Answer: It’s likely an upper respiratory infection, possibly with tonsillitis. Treatment should be prompt; otherwise, the inflammation may spread downward and develop into bronchitis. Antibiotics administered intravenously are the most effective way to control inflammation, providing immediate results. Of course, combining Western medicine with TCM can double the effectiveness in reducing fever and improving the body’s response.

[1. Yang Shenghai: Just recently married, but sexual intercourse hasn’t gone well— it lasts less than two minutes]{.underline}

It’s been leaking for 20 days now, and I’m really distressed about it. Sometimes my scrotum even hurts— What could be the problem?


What is the issue?

Answer: This situation is quite common. During adolescence, lack of awareness and knowledge about sex, along with excessive masturbation, can deplete kidney qi. The top priority now is to stay confident and maintain a positive mood, take appropriate medications such as Guifu Bawei Wan, Jinkui Shenqi Wan, and Jin Suo Goujin, and reduce sexual activity gradually. With time, recovery is possible.

| > 2. Liang Zi Comment: It’s L4–L5 lumbar vertebrae, but the pain persists 24 hours a day. | > I’ve taken many

medications, but nothing has helped. The doctor says surgery is no longer an option because I’m too old—my mom is 60. I’ve been hospitalized twice, both times receiving IV drips. That’s all there is. What good remedies are there? | Answer: L4–L5 spondylolisthesis, aside from the pain and discomfort, won’t lead to particularly serious consequences, because there are only cauda equina nerve endings there. When the pain becomes severe, take some painkillers like Dytac, ibuprofen, or Fenbid, and reduce physical activity.

I feel weak) I took traditional Chinese medicine for a month, added medication for high blood pressure, but still haven’t improved, I have high blood pressure


     History: This is a test report from the county hospital. What’s going on here?
                                         What should I do?

Answer: This is a manifestation of hypertension and arteriosclerosis. Basically, follow a vegetarian diet, increase exercise, keep blood pressure low, prevent colds, and treat colds promptly if they occur. Your aunt will gradually improve. Medication, later according to your arrangement, went to Director Wan for chemotherapy. Almost a week has passed since the end of chemotherapy, but her stomach and abdomen are severely bloated, she burps frequently, doesn’t pass gas, basically can’t eat, and she’s become very thin.


             Thin,
  Don’t know what to do?

Answer: This is a complication in the gastrointestinal tract. You’re welcome to come to my clinic for syndrome differentiation and treatment; it should be effective.

The pain is quite severe. Ultrasound showed (left renal cyst, left epididymal cyst are both small), After infusion, the pain disappeared. A few years ago, there was also a case where the pain disappeared after infusion, but today it’s painful again Each time it’s the left waist and left testicle. How does TCM view this? I’m very worried, And how does TCM view renal cysts?


Cysts?

Answer: Renal cysts aren’t a big deal, though large ones should be prevented from rupturing. Some epididymal cysts do cause symptoms. TCM herbs that promote blood circulation, soften hard masses, disperse nodules, and regulate qi to relieve pain can make small epididymal cysts disappear; even if they don’t, they can still alleviate symptoms.


What about it?

Answer: The information you provided is too limited. Chinese people are of the yellow race, and their skin tends to be yellowish. Unless there’s a systemic organic disease, this yellowing is usually a natural phenomenon.
