Patient's question:
Two years ago, I was diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma. After surgery, I experienced nerve anesthesia in the left upper half of my body, and my left side was affected. Through two years of recovery treatment, things have improved somewhat. Currently, the main aftereffect is that the left upper half of my body hasn't fully recovered, along with the inability to fully close my left eye, which has led to keratitis and facial asymmetry. After the surgery, I received acupuncture for over a year and took some Chinese herbal medicines to treat the facial asymmetry and keratitis caused by the inability to fully close my left eye.Doctor's answer:
Symptoms caused by brain surgery can only be significantly improved by restoring brain nerve function. Once the condition stabilizes, it is important to motivate patients to engage in active exercises. Early bed-to-bathroom movement is encouraged, with specialized training guidance provided for lying down, balancing the affected limb, standing, and walking. Gradually increase the range and frequency of activities, followed by specialized training for climbing stairs to help the affected limb move, which is beneficial for functional recovery.Treatment with pure natural Chinese herbal medicine is highly effective. Chinese herbal medicine can directly act on brain cells, enhancing protein production, counteracting cerebral edema, stabilizing brain energy metabolism, and accelerating cerebral blood circulation. This helps in the rapid recovery of the condition.
