Patient's question:
Easily angered, and I don't know when this started. It might have been from my previous experience working as a special education teacher, or it could be from the lack of intimacy between my husband and me after our first child was born. It has become particularly severe in the past two years. Whenever my child breaks something or fails to complete his homework on time, or when I'm in a hurry, if he moves a little slowly, I get angry and start hitting him. It's gotten worse these past couple of days, and 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. This is because TCM emphasizes the four diagnostic methods—inspection, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation—to accurately diagnose and treat conditions. Only by consulting a professional TCM doctor can the diagnosis be precise, and the medication and treatment be more targeted.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.
It is wrong to hit children. You can seek psychological counseling, and medication may be used if necessary. For sexual life between couples, if there is inflammation, it should be treated promptly.
