Hello everyone, I am Wang Baiqing, a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. For most patients, surgical resection is only the first step in a long journey, and each subsequent step may determine the success of the entire tumor treatment. Today, let's talk about what situations are not handled well and will affect survival.
1. Urinary retention. Urinary retention is a "urine discharge disorder" caused by surgery, anesthesia, psychology and other factors, and the lower abdomen is often distended and painful, and patients often become very agitated when they have the urge to urinate but cannot urinate. Urinary retention belongs to the category of "epilepsy" in traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is closely related to postoperative loss of qi and blood, obstruction of meridians, failure of gasification, and abnormal function of bladder opening and closing. The treatment can be taken internally with traditional Chinese medicine of warm yang and chemical qi and sparse and trifocal sang.
2. Fatigue. After surgery and most chemotherapy treatments, patients can experience severe fatigue, and some targeted drugs can also cause severe fatigue. Cancerous fatigue is difficult to relieve with rest. However, the clinical manifestations are still mainly deficiency syndromes, so the treatment mostly starts from supplementing deficiency, strengthening and cultivating the body, and commonly uses ginseng Yangrong decoction, spleen strengthening and accumulation decoction, Angelica tonifying blood decoction and other formulas to add or subtract treatment.
3. Pain. There are many people who think that it is "normal" for cancer to cause pain, and that it may be over if you put up with it. In fact, pain control is as important as tumor control, and only when the pain is well controlled, the patient's condition will be better, which will be more conducive to subsequent recovery. The main pathogenesis of cancer pain is caused by "lack of communication and lack of glory", so the treatment is based on reducing swelling and circulation, strengthening the right and dispelling evil. Clinically, it can be used to take internal drugs to strengthen the foundation, topical drugs to reduce swelling and relieve pain, and both internal and external application can be used to relieve pain.
4. Depressed mood. Many cancer patients have been shrouded in anxiety, depression, fear and other gloom for a long time. Depression is one of the main causes of tumors, and it is also an important reason for the development of tumors. Therefore, in the anti-cancer prescription, it is usually necessary to add some traditional Chinese medicine to relieve liver and depression, so that patients can have a good psychological state and help fight cancer.
Of course, there are many other factors that affect tumor survival. Time is the relationship, so I'll talk to you about these today.
