Patient's question:
Can Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture treat lupus? I always feel itchy all over my body. Recently, I don't know what happened again. There are many red spots. I feel very uncomfortable. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told I had lupus. How should lupus patients be treated?Doctor's answer:
When using hormone treatment for lupus, close attention should be paid to adverse reactions such as infection, hypertension, diabetes, gastrointestinal ulcers, osteoporosis, and aseptic osteonecrosis. It is important to follow medication principles under the guidance of a doctor, observe closely and carefully, and avoid stopping medication arbitrarily or overconcerning side effects, otherwise, the opportunity for treatment may be lost. I hope my response is helpful to you.
