Patient's question:
Is it possible to treat neurofibromatosis with traditional Chinese medicine? As a parent, I am very worried that my child's condition may worsen. Regarding the question I just asked, I hope the doctor can answer it.Doctor's answer:
Generally, the best treatment for neurofibromas is surgery. However, in your case, the surgical outcome has not been very effective. Therefore, you can consider traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and herbal medicine for treatment. Neurofibromas cannot be completely cured, but symptomatic therapies can be chosen based on the situation. For example, intracranial and intraspinal tumors such as schwannomas and optic nerve tumors can generally be treated with surgery or radiotherapy. Patients with epilepsy can be treated with antiepileptic drugs. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine treatment is also a good option.
