Patient's question:
Not getting better. In February of the 10th year (my brother was training there), diagnosed with connective tissue disease, taking hormones now, increased to 2 tablets, platelets 120, what kind of help is needed: Are the above symptoms side effects of hormones? Taken for a year, how long will it take to use, and what are some good treatments or ways to alleviate the symptoms caused by side effects. Not very gratefulDoctor's answer:
The side effects of hormones may reappear, such as obesity, moon face, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. However, as the dosage of hormones increases, the side effects will also increase accordingly. Your platelet count has now returned to normal, but I wonder if there are any other abnormal items? You can combine traditional Chinese medicine for treatment, gradually increasing the hormone dosage for comprehensive treatment, which should yield good results. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
