Patient's question:
I had an ultrasound examination, and the doctor said the results showed no major issues, only mild epididymitis. Can epididymitis be treated with traditional Chinese medicine?Doctor's answer:
Appendicitis is believed in Traditional Chinese Medicine to be caused by factors such as damp-heat accumulation, phlegm-dampness, blood stagnation, which obstruct the local flow of Qi and blood. It is recommended to combine Chinese and Western medicine for treatment. Decoctions of polygonum, selfheal, boswellia, ligusticum, white peony root, poria, kelp, and laminaria can be used, taken orally in conjunction with antibiotic treatment. For patients with appendicitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely, symptomatic treatment and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
