Patient's question:
I am 53 years old. Recently, as I have gotten older, I have been experiencing leg pain. I have previously visited the immunology department, but the effect was not significant. I have taken both Chinese and Western medicine, especially when the weather changes, I feel uncomfortable. How should I treat damp-heat symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Hello! According to the symptoms, the patient is likely suffering from excessive damp-heat. This could be due to overexertion, consuming spicy and irritating foods, or congenital deficiency leading to spleen and stomach weakness. When the spleen and stomach are weak, their function of transporting and transforming food and fluids is impaired, resulting in excessive damp-heat. This leads to general fatigue, general fatigue, and itching in the private parts. It is recommended to supplement qi and blood, and use blood-nourishing, spleen-tonifying, and stomach-warming herbal formulas such as Longdan Xiegan Wan, Simiao Wan, Guipi Wan, and Shenling Baizhu Powder for treatment.
