In today's article, I will share with you a case of traditional Chinese medicine regulating thyroid nodules
When it comes to diseases such as the thyroid gland, everyone will wonder if it is iodine deficiency? Yes, iodine deficiency is also the cause of some thyroid diseases, but thyroid diseases should not be blindly supplemented with iodine. As the saying goes, "If you don't know the evidence, how can you be cured?" "When you see thyroid disease, use seaweed and kombu, which is not a dead end for disease treatment."
Traditional Chinese medicine does not use a single medicine, not a secret recipe, but pays attention to dialectical treatment, selects prescriptions because of evidence, and dispenses medicines according to prescriptions.
Why do people have thyroid nodules? Very simple truth, a phlegm wet mass falls in the neck, and qi and blood stasis form a nodule in the neck.
The main pathogenesis of thyroid nodules is the stagnation of liver and qi in the body, loss of spleen luck, sputum wet endogenous, stagnation of qi and blood, phlegm wet coagulation before the neck, causing blood vein blockage for a long time, and the combination of qi, phlegm and stasis.
Then we have a treatment idea, depending on what the patient's liver, spleen, stomach, and kidney are deficient. The liver is happy and comfortable, if the patient's liver qi is depressed, then "supplement" from the liver to relieve depression. The five elements of the spleen and stomach belong to the soil, belong to the medium jiao, and the heavy responsibility of metaplasia and blood depends on them. The spleen canal transports moisture, and the spleen deficiency is not motivated, if the patient is in this case, then "supplement" from the spleen deficiency and stomach deficiency.
Previously, there was a patient consultation, a woman, 42 years old, whose surname was Zhao.
What's wrong? This patient always feels chest tightness and discomfort on weekdays, but he has back pain and fatigue without physical work. Rarely drink water, loss of appetite, body fatness, occasionally constipation. The physical examination found that there were three types of thyroid nodules on the right side, and the doctor's advice was to go back for regular observation, elective surgical removal, and prescribed some proprietary Chinese medicine to consolidate.
After going back, the patient was worried that the operation would leave scars, and also worried that it would not be completely cured after the operation, so after thinking about it, he came to see Chinese medicine.
I saw that the patient's neck was slightly swollen and soft. The look is tired, the face is pale and dull, the breath is lazy, the overall state is very weak, and the spirit is insufficient. Sometimes dry mouth, dizziness, and sore back. Fine number of chords. It belongs to the spleen and kidney yang deficiency thyroid nodule, and the treatment is based on the idea of strengthening the spleen in warm and supporting the yang and tonifying the kidney. In addition to replenishing deficiency, phlegm is wet and cohesive, and it is necessary to be soft and firm to disperse and moisturize and eliminate phlegm.
With these in mind, I wrote a matching sheet: Privet, Lotus Grass, Ginseng, Fritillary, Clam, Dodder, Goji Berry, Antler Slice, Mai Dong, etc. 1 dose daily, decocted with water.
Second diagnosis: the feeling of pharyngeal blockage is reduced, physical strength and spirit are restored, the symptoms of back pain are improved, and there are dreams. Prescription: Top with acacia peel and sour jujube kernels. Serve fried in water.
After 2 months, the patient's ultrasound showed that the thyroid morphology returned to normal, and all thyroid function indicators showed normal.
Well, this medical case, I'll finish it for everyone.
What's going on here? It's actually quite simple.
The use of privet and dry lotus grass can nourish the liver and kidneys, Xuan ginseng nourishes yin to moisturize, to strengthen the spleen, Sichuan fritillary, oysters can dissolve phlegm and disperse, and at the same time with Wu dodder seeds, wolfberries, deer antler tablets to fill in the essence and replenish the essence, because the patient's dry mouth is more serious, and add Mai Dong Yiyin to nourish jin. The combination of various drugs is clearly layered.
Of course, the above only represents the case, the causes of thyroid nodules are many, related to diet, emotions and other external factors, and internal organs dysfunction and physical weakness, these internal factors are also related, so what should be supplemented by patients with thyroid nodules, where to supplement, can not be single.
For patients who still have questions about what to supplement for thyroid nodules, please leave a message in the comment area to inquire.
