Patient's question:
Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has become problematic. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. Can you help with the treatment for obesity caused by heavy dampness?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it is likely that the obesity is caused by a heavy accumulation of dampness in the body. It is recommended that you consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for a few follow-up visits to take herbal medicine to dispel the dampness in your body. At the same time, you can also consult a rehabilitation specialist for treatments such as cupping or moxibustion to help remove the dampness. This coordinated approach will aid in eliminating the dampness from your body. In terms of diet, pay attention to eating more foods that help dispel dampness, such as red bean and coix seed porridge. Additionally, it is essential to engage in at least 30 minutes to an hour of aerobic exercise every day to assist with weight loss.
