"Isn't it over if the gallbladder polyp is cut off, what is the intention of Chinese medicine to spend so much time?" TCM will talk to you from the heart
Since the day I shared my thoughts on the treatment of gallbladder polyps online, I have received this question countless times. At first, I patiently explained to everyone, but now I understand that being misunderstood is the fate of the expressor.
As for gallbladder polyps, it seems that it can be solved with one size fits all, but why Chinese medicine insists on using so many herbs and taking so long, this is my first and last explanation.
First, give more options to people who can't be operated on.
In the existing gallbladder removal surgery, the traditional prescribing surgery costs 1-15,000 yuan, and if the damage to the body is small, laparoscopic resection surgery is required, and the cost is usually 1.5-35,500 yuan.
Perhaps now we are living in a happy environment where everyone can afford a gallbladder removal surgery as easily as we do. But in fact, for some working people, it may be a child's tuition fee for a few years, a family's living expenses, or a mortgage for the next month, and when there is no one to give up, they would rather endure discomfort than spend tens of thousands of dollars to have an operation.
Just like when I went to a mountain village in Guangxi in 2018, a 13-year-old left-behind child developed gallbladder polyps because he couldn't afford to eat meat, his nutrition was unbalanced, and his gallbladder's contractile ability declined.
I usually feel pain in my right upper abdomen, but there are only grandparents at home, and life is very stressful, so the child has been putting up with it. It wasn't until I heard that we went, and heard that we could see a doctor for free, that I secretly came to the doctor by myself.
Can you get this child to go for surgery? It's impossible, so let it go? What should I do if I grow up and become cancerous? At this time, the best choice is traditional Chinese medicine. I had no choice but to pay out of my own pocket to keep the herbs for the child for a year, divide the daily amount in a small bag, and let the child go home and drink it by himself.
The child's bloating has improved a lot before leaving, but what else can be done? After all, Chinese medicine treatment doesn't even cost a fraction of an operation, so what should these people do without these cheap and easy-to-use herbs?
Second, gallbladder polyps are a qualitative change in the physical environment, not just a problem with the gallbladder.
Many people think that if there is a polyp in the gallbladder, the gallbladder is bad, and as long as the gallbladder is cut off, it will be done once and for all. But in reality, the formation of gallbladder polyps is caused by changes in the entire body environment.
Just as garden plants get sick because of bad soil, science should not only cure sick plants, but also improve the soil. The same is true for gallbladder polyps.
Although the process is a little slower, it is not only a treatment of polyps, but also improves the health of the whole person, and there is no need to worry about the sequelae after gallbladder removal.
Third, the gallbladder is not a useless bag, it does not mean that it is cut.
The gallbladder is a container that stores bile, and when we eat a meal, especially after eating some greasy food, the bile will enter the intestines from the gallbladder to promote the digestion and absorption of fat. The fat in the barbecue, hot pot, and spicy strips you eat is broken down by the gallbladder for you.
However, if the gallbladder is removed, after you eat those delicacies, the bile loses its concentrated storage place and cannot be stored in the gallbladder during non-digestive periods, and the body's ability to digest and absorb fat decreases, resulting in symptoms such as bloating and diarrhea, and an increase in the risk of gallstones.
Because the body has no place to store bile, bile can only enter the intestines, and a large number of flying shovels are easy to reflux into the stomach after accumulating in the intestines, resulting in damage to the gastric mucosa and causing reflux gastritis.
Traditional Chinese medicine has been passed down from thousands of years ago to the present, and it has been a cultural symbol of our China, a world cultural heritage, and the backbone of the Chinese nation that can be passed down to the present day.
