How can bone metastasis in the late stage of lung cancer relieve pain?
Expert reply: Lung cancer is a malignant tumor and needs timely treatment. Bone metastasis of lung cancer is also a common disease. Among the treatment methods, the treatment of bone metastasis of lung cancer by traditional Chinese medicine has been trusted by many patients. Chinese medicine treatment of bone metastasis of lung cancer is very popular among many treatment methods, but before introducing the treatment methods, let's take a look at how Chinese medicine treats bone metastasis of lung cancer. Bone metastasis can't be done because of deficiency of vital qi and internal organs. Bone metastasis has always been considered as the late manifestation of malignant tumor. Although western medicine has palliative surgery and local radiotherapy and chemotherapy, it still lacks effective treatment methods. While suppressing metastatic lesions, special attention should be paid to the treatment of primary lesions. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment of Bone Metastasis of Lung Cancer: 1. Spleen deficiency and phlegm-dampness type. Symptoms: cough with excessive phlegm, chest tightness, mental fatigue, pale complexion, thin stool, pale and fat tongue, white and greasy fur, and slow or slippery pulse. Treatment: invigorating spleen and eliminating dampness, warming yang and benefiting qi, resolving phlegm and resolving hard mass. Prescription: Lung cancer is the main prescription, and spleen-invigorating and dampness-eliminating drugs are selected, such as Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria, Pinellia ternata, dried tangerine peel, Coix seed, oyster, Fritillaria, etc. 2. Deficiency of both qi and yin. Symptoms: cough, no or little phlegm or frothy phlegm, or coughing up difficult yellow phlegm, blood in the sputum, chest pain and shortness of breath, upset and insomnia, dry mouth and constipation, red tongue, lichen peeling or peeling without coating, and rapid pulse. Treatment: benefiting qi and nourishing yin, warming yang and clearing lung. Prescription: The main prescription for lung cancer is drugs that can replenish qi and nourish yin, such as Adenophora adenophora, Ophiopogon japonicus, Hedyotis diffusa, Cortex Mori, Radix Rehmanniae and Prunellae Spica. If there is blood in the sputum, medicines such as Herba et Gemma Agrimoniae, charred Herba Cirsii, and Colla Corii Asini (dissolved) can be added. 3. Qi stagnation and blood stasis type. Symptoms: cough, bloody sputum, shortness of breath, fullness or tingling in chest and hypochondrium, dry stool, ecchymosis or purple spots on tongue, thin yellow fur, thin or astringent pulse. Treatment: Warming yang, activating qi, removing blood stasis and resolving hard mass. Prescription: The main prescription of lung cancer is drugs for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, such as Angelica sinensis, Radix Rehmanniae, Peach Kernel, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Radix Paeoniae Rubra, Fructus Aurantii, Radix Curcumae and Fructus Toosendan. 4. Heat poison is flourishing. Symptoms: high fever, shortness of breath, cough, thick yellow or bloody sputum, chest pain, bitter taste, thirst, constipation, short and red urine, red tongue with Huang Gan coating and rapid pulse. Treatment: clearing away heat and purging fire, detoxifying and reducing swelling. Prescription: Baihu Chengqi Decoction. Medicinal: Gypsum Fibrosum, Anemarrhena asphodeloides, Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, Rhizoma Coptidis, Herba Houttuyniae, Herba Taraxaci, Herba et Gemma Agrimoniae, Fructus Trichosanthis and Scutellariae Radix. This type is a special type of lung cancer, which is mostly a sign of excess heat caused by lung infection. It is a standard syndrome, but it still belongs to yang deficiency. According to the principle of treating the target in case of emergency, the treatment should focus on clearing away heat and purging fire, detoxifying and reducing swelling, and if necessary, cooperate with intravenous medication. After the condition improves, the main prescription of warming yang and benefiting qi to treat cancer will be modified according to the syndrome. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment of bone metastasis of lung cancer can improve the treatment scheme at any time according to the symptoms of patients, but patients should not blindly choose, as long as they choose the treatment method suitable for them, they can achieve better results. Of course, at the end of the treatment, they should also go to a regular hospital for a physical examination to ensure that the selected treatment method suits them. Of course, they should also carry out nursing work in time during the treatment to consolidate the treatment effect. Although there are many ways to treat lung cancer, patients should still choose.
