Patient's question:
Easily angered, I don't know when this started. It might have been due to my previous experience working as a special education teacher, or it could be because of the lack of intimacy between my husband and me after our first child was born. In the past two years, it has become particularly severe. Whenever my child breaks something or fails to complete their homework on time, or when I'm in a hurry, if he moves even slightly slower than expected, I lose my temper and start hitting him. Over the past two days, it has gotten even worse—I've even started kicking him with my feet?Doctor's answer:
You may have liver qi stagnation turning into fire, and your condition is recommended to be treated by a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) doctor through acupuncture or herbal medicine. TCM emphasizes the four diagnostic methods—inspection, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation—so it is essential to consult a professional TCM practitioner for accurate syndrome differentiation and treatment. This ensures more targeted medication and therapy.In daily life, maintain a regular diet, avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods, and reduce greasy bowel movements. Always keep your emotions stable, increase physical activity, and maintain regular deep sleep.
Hitting children is wrong. You can seek psychological counseling, and medication may be used if necessary. For sexual life between couples, if there is inflammation, timely treatment should be administered.
