There is a female patient who went to the doctor two years ago because of sleepiness, fatigue, insomnia, and frequent swelling of eye vesicles. She was diagnosed with central hypothyroidism. After taking Youjiale for two years, her thyroid function was quite normal, but her condition was normal. There is no improvement at all, but there is a tendency to increase. Z3z hypothyroidism is what modern medicine calls hypothyroidism, which is due to insufficient secretion of thyroid hormone and , resulting in abnormal metabolic function. The specific manifestations are fear of cold, palpitation, palpitations, alopecia, edema, fatigue, etc. The performance is slightly different due to individual differences in patients. The thyroid function examination showed that T3 and T4 were lower than normal, or thyroid stimulating hormone was higher than normal. The picture of
comes from the network
in western medicine. It is often used as a supplement to replace the insufficient secretion of thyroxine . But in fact, as the duration of illness increases, patients will have normal thyroid function but the symptoms remain.
Traditional Chinese medicine treatment does not use indicators as the standard of treatment like Western medicine, but to find the cause of insufficient hormone secretion, use symptomatic medicine, and solve the fundamental problem.
Chinese medicine believes that the root cause of hypothyroidism is directly related to the deficiency of the five internal organs . For example, this patient has a low body temperature and lethargy, which means that she has insufficient kidney yang . Kidney yang is the source of heat for the whole body. If the kidney yang is insufficient, it is difficult for the body to warm up. Therefore, it is necessary to use Epimedium , Curculigo, Morinda officinalis and other drugs to warm the kidney yang and invigorate the kidney qi. If the patient has fatigue and edema, it means that the spleen is insufficiency, and the spleen governs the movement and transformation. It can not only absorb water and grains and transport it to the whole body, but also transport water and dampness. Insufficiency of the spleen leads to poor digestion and absorption, and the human body will suffer from deficiency of qi and blood, of course, lack of energy and energy; abnormal water and dampness will stay inside the body, causing edema, and further hinder the movement of qi and blood. Therefore, it is necessary to use Z1z Codonopsis Z2z, Atractylodes, Poria, Astragalus, etc. to invigorate the spleen and dehumidify. The picture of
comes from the network
. When the patient returned for half a month, the patient had basically no edema, and he had some strength. Just make slight adjustments on the basis of the original side, and use another half a month. In the third visit, the symptoms had basically disappeared. I let her use it for another month to consolidate the effect.
Chinese medicine does not find a balance in the rules and indicators like Western medicine. It lacks supplements and more restraints. That is not a solution to the problem. Moreover, the etiology and symptoms of each patient are not the same and cannot be generalized. Traditional Chinese medicine finds the root cause based on the patient's symptoms, and then treats the symptoms with a prescription suitable for the patient, and the ideal goal can be reached soon.
