Ms. Ding, 55 years old, from Shandong. On August 27 last year, I went to Zibo Central Hospital for a physical examination and found a ground-glass nodule of 8mm in the lower lobe of my right lung. Three months later, I did a chest CT again due to chest tightness and shortness of breath, and the nodule had not changed. After being given anti-inflammatory drugs by the local hospital, the symptoms of chest tightness and shortness of breath did not improve. So he came to see me for treatment on November 11 last year.

Symptoms: Nako, dry mouth but not bitterness, dry cough without phlegm, chest tightness and shortness of breath, occasional back pain, no heart discomfort, occasional stomach discomfort, no flank discomfort, defecation once a day, Shapeless and thin. Blood pressure is normal, blood sugar is slightly elevated. Tongue examination revealed dark tongue, light tooth marks, white greasy coating, and deep pulse. The prescription uses Citrus aurantium and Bai Bai to relieve yang and dissipate phlegm; Pinellia ternata and Magnolia officinalis resolve phlegm and reduce qi; Poria strengthens the spleen and removes dampness; Zhigancao harmonizes various medicines. A small amount of medication).

One month later, Ms. Ding came to the hospital for a consultation: Chief complaint: Recently, the cough has decreased, with no phlegm, the chest tightness has improved, the dry mouth has decreased, and the stool has been formed once a day. Seeing this effect, I adjusted the medication according to the condition at that time; later, after adjusting the prescription three times, I had a CT examination at the same local tertiary-level hospital, Zibo Central Hospital (the largest hospital in the area) on November 24, and found that The original 8mm ground glass nodule in the lower lobe of the right lung disappeared and is gone.

According to Ms. Ding’s self-report, when the radiologist issued a report, she said that the nodule was gone. She also asked other outpatient specialists and doctors to look at it in detail, and they also said that it was gone.

Regarding this patient, I want to say:

This patient came to me for diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary nodules 1 year ago, at the end of last year. Before diagnosis and treatment, a CT examination was performed at Zibo Central Hospital, the largest tertiary-level hospital in the area, and the result was an 8mm ground-glass nodule in the lungs. According to the four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine, I gave traditional Chinese medicine conditioning under the principle of eliminating evil and strengthening the body. After taking the traditional Chinese medicine seriously for a year, the patient went to the same local tertiary hospital for a review. The 8mm ground glass nodule in the lung disappeared. It can be said that this result is still very ideal.

Not only did the radiologist at the local hospital find this result after careful inspection, but the doctor at the outpatient clinic called up the film through the computer system. After viewing it, he searched carefully and found nothing. This nodule has indeed disappeared.

Generally speaking from a medical point of view, it is believed that after the ground glass nodule reaches 8mm, the probability of malignancy will begin to increase. So although this patient has a ground glass nodule reaching 8mm, by taking traditional Chinese medicine carefully, he will eventually The ground glass nodule completely disappeared. This also shows that conscientious use of traditional Chinese medicine still plays an important role in improving the treatment of nodular lung lesions, controlling the development of nodular lesions, reducing the incidence of lung cancer, improving patients' symptoms, and improving their quality of life. #Health Popular Science Ranking##chronic disease those things##knowledge sharing officer#
