The liver cyst recurred half a year after surgery, and traditional Chinese medicine identified the root of the disease through the tongue and pulse, and the disease progressed through 10 herbs withdrawal
In clinical practice, I have seen many patients with liver cysts that recur half a year after surgery, and some people even grow new cysts in three or four months, which means that the lesions in the body have not been eradicated, after all, the surgery only cuts off the surface of the mass, and does not care about the cause of illness, so it is only a matter of time before it recurs.
The treatment concept of liver cyst in traditional Chinese medicine is contrary to that of Western medicine, which focuses on the target, while traditional Chinese medicine focuses on the root, which will first find the root cause of the disease, focus on improving the disease-causing lesions, and then remove the mass on the surface.
Next, I will share with you my clinical treatment ideas with a case.
A patient with liver cyst who had been treated before had 2 small cysts in half a year after surgery, and he was worried that the root would not be cured after another operation, so he went to see a Chinese medicine doctor.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the tongue coating is the distribution area of the five organs, the tongue represents the liver and gallbladder and the tongue is foamy, which is a manifestation of liver stagnation and qi stagnation, and the red tongue indicates that there is a problem of qi stagnation and blood stasis in the body.
The patient does have symptoms of chest tightness and fullness, and a slight tingling sensation, which are typical manifestations of liver stagnation and qi stagnation, and he also has symptoms of dry mouth and bad breath caused by liver stagnation.
Traditional Chinese medicine says that liver stagnation and qi stagnation will affect the flow of qi and blood, forming blood stasis, and liver stagnation will invade the spleen and stomach, and will also lead to spleen deficiency and phlegm dampness.
According to the cause of the patient, I prescribed such a prescription at that time, using Bupleurum to evacuate the stagnation of liver qi in the body, this flavor medicine into the liver meridian, the effect of relieving depression is very strong, can make the liver qi unimpeded; Symptoms of bad breath: using green skin to break the qi can break up the stagnant qi; using magnolia bark to lower the qi, only when the qi is lowered, the phlegm in the body will be lowered; after the qi is lowered, then use the Sichuan fritillary to dissolve the phlegm; use the zexing to diuresis, and the phlegm and dampness in the body are discharged through urine; use salvia and peach kernels to invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis to prevent cysts from growing and increasing; use atractylodes to strengthen the spleen and prevent phlegm and dampness from regenerating; and finally use loofah to soften and dissolve knots.
The whole prescription of 10 flavor medicines, there are strong and tonic benefits, both the symptoms and the root causes, is facing the patient's condition, after 2 courses of medication, the symptoms of chest tightness in this patient have improved significantly, and then 1 month of medication, B ultrasound shows that the cyst has disappeared, after stopping the drug to the present, the patient does not see other abnormalities.
Through this sharing, I would like to tell you that for mass disease like cysts, don't think that you can get rid of everything, if you don't improve the lesion internally, it is only a matter of time before it recurs, and even if you need surgery, you can't ignore the postoperative benefits.
