Chapter 803 Treating the Symptoms and the Roots
Generally, rheumatic arthritis occurs first and then rheumatic heart disease, and it is impossible for rheumatic heart disease to appear directly.
Therefore, when Xiao Chen heard it just now, he guessed that there was something hidden in it.
Unexpectedly, it was really like that.
"Dr. Xiao, how did you know?" Li Lihua asked.
"I'm a doctor, I definitely know."
"What about the other doctors?"
"Everything should be clear, I just didn't tell you."
Li Lihua thought that if she didn't tell the doctors, they wouldn't know. She had also hidden it from her husband, mother-in-law and others before.
In fact, it had occurred for a while before she went to college. Later, there were no problems, so she didn't pay attention. Then in the fourth year after her marriage, she began to have symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. After she went to the hospital for a check-up,
Was diagnosed with rheumatic heart disease.
Because she got married late, she gave birth to her first child three years ago, at the age of thirty-two. Her physical condition declined significantly after delivery, and she suffered from pain in the precordial area. The pain worsened when she went upstairs, and she also suffered from shortness of breath, elbows and knees.
Sore joints, numbness and pain in the back of the head and fingers, and soreness in the waist.
I was preparing to give birth for the second time last year. Unexpectedly, I developed a cold and fever after pregnancy, and even vomited blood. I couldn't sleep on my left side, and then the hospital doctor diagnosed me with a heart disease.
At this time, Li Lihua's husband Song Wencheng and her mother-in-law knew that she had heart disease.
If they had known that Li Lihua had heart disease, Song Wencheng's parents would not have wanted this daughter-in-law. After all, in their opinion, heart disease is hereditary, and they did not want their son to marry a patient with the disease.
Wife with heart disease.
Unexpectedly, it was a done deal now, and Song Wencheng was unwilling to divorce, so it ended up like this.
In fact, she has always hidden these things from her husband and mother-in-law.
Because she is afraid that if she is really divorced, the situation will be very miserable.
Moreover, she is used to living a good life. Even if she gets half of the property after divorce, how much will it cost?
In the end, because of the treatment, you may still be in a state of depression.
On the contrary, things are different now. As long as she is the daughter-in-law of Vice Mayor Song, all treatment will be at public expense.
Li Lihua did not tell Xiao Chen these things, but she did not expect that this young man's medical skills were really amazing.
You can actually tell it at a glance.
Xiao Chen's understanding of this disease is that in traditional Chinese medicine, there is indeed no term for heart disease, but it is attributed to the overall coordination of heart paralysis.
In traditional Chinese medicine, heart paralysis refers to the invasion of wind, cold, dampness, heat and other evils into the body, blocking the meridian qi, re-infecting the evil spirits, and causing internal damage to the heart. Over time, the heart qi and meridians will be damaged, and the heart meridians will not run smoothly.
It is a visceral paralysis disease with main manifestations such as palpitations, chest tightness and shortness of breath, severe heart murmur, and purple cheeks.
In Western medicine, rheumatic heart disease refers to the heart disease left behind after rheumatic fever, mainly heart valve disease.
Rheumatic heart disease, referred to as rheumatic heart disease, refers to heart valve disease caused by rheumatic fever activity affecting the heart valves. It manifests as stenosis of one or more valves in the mitral valve, tricuspid valve, and aortic valve and/or
Incomplete closure.
Clinically, stenosis and insufficiency often coexist, but one type is often dominant.
There are often no obvious symptoms in the early stages of the disease, but later symptoms include palpitation, shortness of breath, fatigue, cough, lower limb edema, coughing up pink frothy sputum, and other symptoms of cardiac decompensation.
According to the etiology of Western medicine, rheumatic heart disease is a partial manifestation of the allergic reaction caused by Group A and B hemolytic streptococcus infection, and is an autoimmune disease.
Pathological changes in the heart mainly occur in the heart valves. The mitral valve is the most commonly affected site.
Xiao Chen was not familiar with the research and treatment of heart disease in Western medicine. He was familiar with traditional Chinese medicine.
He felt that Li Lihua's current situation could be confirmed to be heart disease, also known as heart disease. The causes of chest pain were rheumatism, that is, wind, cold, and dampness staying in the meridians, and rheumatism causing heart valve disease.
, causing blood stasis.
Therefore, based on the patient's pulse and tongue, TCM dialectics concluded that the patient was suffering from rheumatic arthralgia, qi stagnation, blood stasis and heart paralysis. The patient should be dispelling wind and dampness, regulating qi and activating blood circulation.
After Xiao Chen read it to her, he said: "Miss Li, your situation is not as serious as you think. It can be cured as long as you follow the treatment I told you."
In fact, when the other party suffered from rheumatoid arthritis, she should have paid attention to it and needed treatment. However, she kept putting it off and it became more serious.
"Really? Is it possible to have a second child?" The reason why the other party has always wanted to have a second child is because Song Wencheng's parents urged her. After all, they think she can still have a second child at her age, and now the national policy allows it and it will not affect her work.
superior.
Li Lihua mainly wanted to maintain her status and stability in the Song family. She felt that having one more child would bind Song Wencheng and the Song family.
Xiao Chen naturally didn't know what Li Lihua was thinking.
"You follow this prescription and drink the medicinal soup. After half a month, you can come back to me for a follow-up consultation."
Half a month?
"Recovered in half a month?"
"Let's look at the situation. It may be possible, but it can't be completely cured so quickly. After all, your situation has been delayed for such a long time, and you have already given birth to one child and lost the second child. This will have a negative impact on your health."
The physical impact is great. Under normal circumstances, your body will not be much worse. However, it takes a long time for a woman to recover after giving birth. Not only did you not recover, but you became even more serious."
Li Lihua seemed to understand when she heard what Xiao Chen said.
"What about those things I just said?"
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Xiao Chen also felt that there was something wrong with Li Lihua's thoughts and actions. After all, it was her own choice, and she did not harm anyone else.
"Dr. Xiao, thank you."
"It's okay. This is what I should do as a doctor. I'll write the prescription and leave it to you."
When Xiao Chen came out of the ward, Song Wencheng hurried in, wondering what the two of them were talking about for so long.
Now Xiao Chen comes out, and Li Lihua looks normal.
"Dr. Xiao, how is the patient's condition?" Director Wang asked.
"It can be treated. It requires half a month of conditioning before further treatment."
"You mean it can be completely cured?"
"Of course, if you take the right medicine, it can be completely cured. This is treating the symptoms and the root cause."
Director Wang no longer knew what to say.
Now that Xiao Chen dares to say it in front of so many people, there must be no problem.
