Patient's question:
It is said that in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it is believed that the endocrine disorder mentioned in Western medicine is caused by poor blood circulation. So, in TCM, is the treatment for endocrine disorders the same as the treatment for poor blood circulation, both involving nurturing qi and blood to make them smooth?Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine treats endocrine disorders primarily through nourishing qi and blood, resolving stagnation, and dispersing lumps. Generally, it involves syndrome differentiation and treatment based on each individual's physical condition, identifying which of the external pathogenic factors such as cold, wind, summer heat, and dampness they are affected by. According to the principles of syndrome differentiation and treatment in TCM, for those with functional tension, attention should be paid to nourishing yin and treating the condition. For those with functional decline, symptoms often manifest as qi and blood deficiency, kidney deficiency, etc. Treatment typically involves replenishing qi, strengthening the spleen, and tonifying the kidneys to help stabilize the condition.
