It is also a pulmonary nodule. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the causes and symptoms are different and the treatment methods are different.

Chinese and western medicine have different attitudes towards nodules. Generally, pulmonary nodules are found, and there are two kinds of western medicine countermeasures: evaluating the non-compliance with surgical indications, regular observation, or waiting for the nodules to grow up before surgery; Evaluate whether the operation instructions are met and perform the operation.

Chinese medicine is different. We advocate the dialectical use of some traditional Chinese medicines in the observation of patients. If some people are sensitive to traditional Chinese medicine, taking it for a period of time can make the nodules shrink or disappear. Even if they are not sensitive to traditional Chinese medicine, they can control the growth and malignant transformation of nodules. This is a good way to eliminate the anxiety and fear of patients with nodules during the observation period.

I have a patient, Mr. Liu, who was found to have multiple pulmonary nodules in his physical examination last year. The three large nodules were 15mm, 7mm and 6mm respectively. Because the nodule of 15mm is large, with solid components, visible burrs and pleural traction, the doctor suggested resection after evaluation. Mr. Liu had an operation at the beginning of last year, and the nodule of 15 mm was removed. The other two nodules were relatively stable, so follow-up measures were taken.

However, after the operation, the nodule biopsy showed malignancy, and Mr. Liu was not calm in an instant. The other two are not cancer, are they? Although the nodules did not increase after 3 months, he often worried that he could not eat and sleep well.

Many people asked me to come here for treatment. I diagnosed him as qi stagnation and blood stasis, phlegm blocking the lung, and used corresponding Chinese medicine treatment. After a course of treatment, Mr. Liu reexamined CT, and both nodules were reduced to 5mm and 3 mm. He was very happy and said that he would continue to treat with Chinese medicine and was confident that the nodules would disappear.

I told him the principle of treating nodules with traditional Chinese medicine. To improve one's physique by adding hardness and softness, one should not only disperse the nodules that have already formed, but also adjust one's physique, so that the body will no longer provide conditions for the growth of nodules, so that lung nodules will no longer grow. Because our body is like a house, we need to expel "evil spirits" and invite "healthy spirits" to make the environment better and better, and the nodules will naturally stop growing.

He lamented that the strategy of western medicine to treat nodules is like "beating hamsters", depending on which one is stirred up first. The treatment of nodules in Chinese medicine is called "taking a salary at the bottom of the pot"!

Dr. Guo Yuqin, the distinguished director of the Department of Respiratory Medicine of Chinese and Western Medicine in Beijing Sihuixi Hospital, said that if you have problems such as pulmonary nodules, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pulmonary interstitial fibrosis, or you don't know your constitution and need help in syndrome differentiation, you can leave me a message and I will try my best to help you.
