Hearing that motherwort fruits can condition the body, the middle-aged woman ate herself into the ICU

Chutian Metropolis Daily August 4 news (reporter Zheng Jingjing correspondent Bo Yunna Ma Yaoyao) heard that the use of motherwort (茺蔚子) powder to eat can cure menstrual irregularities, 49-year-old Hanyang citizen Ms. Liu recently bought from the pharmacy and ground into powder to take, but just ate for more than 1 hour to poisoning can not move, was rushed to Wuhan City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Hanyang Branch ICU rescue treatment. As of press time today, she is out of danger. Experts remind that there are many examples of poisoning caused by listening to folk remedies and taking Chinese herbal medicines without permission, and the public should follow the doctor's instructions to take them so as not to endanger health.

Ms. Liu, 49, who is in the midst of menopause, has recently been very anxious, because menstruation always comes and goes, and the amount of menstruation is very small, she is very worried that people will grow old quickly after menopause, so she looks for ways to adjust menstruation. A few days ago, she heard from her colleagues that using motherwort (茺蔚子) powder to eat can adjust menstruation, she bought a pack of morass at a nearby pharmacy on Saturday and Monday, and when she returned home, she busied herself with powder and ate about 40 grams. Unexpectedly, only more than an hour later, Ms. Liu began to sweat violently, her heart was short of breath, her whole body was sore and numb, and her legs were paralyzed and could not move. When the family saw the situation, she quickly dialed 120 to send her to the Hanyang Branch of Wuhan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.

Yu Can, the attending physician of the emergency department, said that when the patient was admitted to the hospital, he was paralyzed, his hands and feet were numb, he vomited and diarrhea, his urine was soy sauce colored, his creatine kinase was particularly high, and there was also sinus arrhythmia, and the preliminary judgment was poisoning by eating Tamarin. In addition, the patient has experienced rhabdomyolysis, abnormal renal function, etc., and the situation is very critical. After emergency symptomatic treatment, the doctor sent him to the ICU.

"It is good to send medical attention in time, otherwise it is likely that there will be damage to the organs of the whole body or even endanger life." Liu Jia, attending physician of the Gynecology Department of Wuhan Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, explained that It is the dried and ripe fruit of motherwort, which does have the effect of activating blood and regulating menstruation and clearing the liver, but it cannot be eaten for a long time or in large quantities. Generally speaking, the usual amount of lyre seeds in decoctions is 4.5 to 9 grams, but if the one-time dose exceeds 30 grams, symptoms of poisoning will soon appear. Moreover, the role of raw and fried weizi is also very different, raw use is longer than clearing the liver and eyes, and frying is longer than living blood to adjust menstruation. Therefore, Ms. Liu not only overused, but also used the wrong method, resulting in poisoning.

The reporter learned that in the case of poisoning caused by taking traditional Chinese medicine at will like Ms. Liu, there have been many cases in major hospitals in Jiangcheng. Recently, Mr. Zhou, a man in Hankou in his fifties, heard that eating He Shou Wu can make his hair black, so he bought some ground powder and soaked in water every day to drink, but he did not expect that after eating for more than 3 months, not only did his hair not turn black, but his skin and eyes turned yellow. The gastroenterologist of Wuhan Central Hospital found that his liver function had been seriously impaired. The doctor inquired and learned that Mr. Zhou himself did not have liver disease, and had been eating He Shou Wu in recent times, considering that it was drug-induced liver damage caused by eating He Shou Wu indiscriminately. After standardized treatment, Mr. Zhou's jaundice gradually subsided and he was discharged from the hospital.

Yu Can, attending physician of the emergency department of Hanyang Branch of Wuhan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, reminded that chinese medicine pays attention to different treatment of diseases from person to person, and dialectical treatment. The causes of the same condition may be different, so different treatments should be adopted. It is recommended that if the public is unwell, they should go to a regular medical institution to take medicine according to the doctor's instructions, do not hearsay, and take the medicine at will according to the folk remedies, so as not to endanger health. Especially in patients with liver disease, it is more necessary to check liver function regularly during the medication. If the public has symptoms such as general weakness, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, fever, and chills during the medication, they need to stop the drug immediately and go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying the condition and causing irreversible harm to the body.
