For this, doctors often use closed therapy, that is, "closed injection".

The drugs in the closed injection are hormones. Will they have any adverse effects on the human body?

Sealing injection is a common method used in orthopedics. Some people will be afraid when they hear about honey injection. They think that sealing can only temporarily alleviate the symptoms of the disease and cannot fundamentally solve the problem. Some people are even afraid. After taking the occlusive injection, you need to keep taking it, and you cannot stop and worry about side effects.

The medicine in the closed needle is indeed a hormone medicine. If used normally, it will not cause addiction, but long-term use will cause habituation or dependence. This situation will only occur after long-term and repeated use of hormones in large doses.

The doctor usually injects sealing needles once or several times according to the condition, with an interval of 7 to 10 days or a month and generally no more than 3 to 4 times in a row, if necessary. The injections continued at long intervals and in very small doses.

Therefore, closed therapy has the advantages of direct administration, simple and safe, rapid curative effect, no hospitalization, low price, few side effects, and easy acceptance by patients.

After the sealing injection, you should pay attention to the following things

. The pinhole left by the injection must not touch the water within 3 days, let alone rinse the area or take a bath, because the location of the sealing injection is often relatively deep, such as Fascia, synovium or joints.

Once the pinhole position is exposed to water, it is easy for bacteria to enter the deep parts of the body from the needle mouth. Once the number of bacteria reaches a certain amount, it can cause deep tissue infection. This is a very serious consequence. Sometimes the infection is serious and can be dangerous. Life;

extension - Why do athletes become useless after taking blocking injections?

Many athletes, such as Liu Xiang and Zhang Jike, take blocking injections before games. In addition, many NBA stars also ruined their careers because of taking blocking injections.

In Johnson's 2013 playoffs, continued to play with a occlusive injection after being injured in an important battle. This not only led to a drop in shooting percentage, but also affected the performance of his teammates. After that, his career went downhill rapidly, and he was no longer the eagle king he was at that time.

In addition to Johnson, Yao Ming's teammate Tracy McGrady In the 2008 playoffs , in the 6th game, one-eyed McGrady did not listen to the advice of the medical team and forced himself to play a closed game and was injured. Not only did he fail to win the victory over the Houston Rockets , careers were also damaged.

Champions are important, but health is more precious. Closure of acupuncture is not something you can just do if you want to. Unless it is a particularly important game, the medical team can only give an injection after evaluation. We can't win the championship this year. And next year. Therefore, players should not bet their careers.
