Patient's question:
The baby next door has recently been complaining of abdominal pain, poor digestion, fatigue, and a slightly pale complexion. The doctor at the hospital said they have chronic congestive splenomegaly. I wonder how it should be treated? Is traditional Chinese medicine effective for treating pediatric chronic congestive splenomegaly?Doctor's answer:
When the disease has severe hypersplenism, splenectomy should be considered. The postoperative prognosis varies depending on the obstruction site and the surgical procedure. If the obstruction is within the splenic vein, the effect after resection is better and can be treated. Cases with intrahepatic or portal vein lesions may still bleed after splenectomy, but hypersplenism can be alleviated. For the current condition, the effectiveness of Traditional Chinese Medicine is still not very good.
