Patient's question:
Female, 27 years old, treated for two years, with no significant effect from either traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine. Now her body is getting worse. She experiences intermittent abdominal pain, and recently her finger joints have swelled and become stiff. She also had another bruise appear two days ago. She bought Glucosamine Hydrochloride and Rheumatoid Arthritis Tablets to relieve the symptoms, but she feels a bit hot and has a burning sensation from her intestines to her genital area. How should she be treated?Doctor's answer:
According to the described condition, it should be ruled out as rheumatoid arthritis and urinary tract infection. It is recommended that you take symptomatic medication and receive acupuncture and moxibustion therapy, as well as massage rehabilitation treatment from the Traditional Chinese Medicine department daily. The effect is very good. Pay attention to rest and avoid joint coldness. Postpartum patients with rheumatism can, while receiving professional treatment, use dietary therapy as supplementary treatment in daily life. Proper diet should be maintained in daily eating habits to avoid stimulating foods.
