Patient's question:
Can neurofibromatosis be treated with traditional Chinese medicine instead of surgery? As a parent, I am very worried and afraid that my child's condition will worsen. Regarding the question I just mentioned, I hope a doctor can answer it.Doctor's answer:
Neurofibromatosis is a disease. Under normal circumstances, surgical treatment is required after diagnosis. There is a certain possibility of recurrence. Traditional Chinese medicine can only serve as adjuvant therapy. Current standardized diagnostic and treatment principles do not include traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods. Generally, traditional Chinese medicine cannot treat this disease. There are many types of neurofibromatosis, with different locations and development conditions, requiring different treatment plans. You can communicate with your attending physician about your current condition to see if conservative treatment is necessary.
