Patient's question:
I have been experiencing dizziness recently, and I can't eat properly either. My mental state isn't great either. The hospital said it's a blood-related issue. Can acupuncture be effective for treating myelodysplastic syndrome?Doctor's answer:
According to the disease you described, it is recommended to treat it with Western medicine. You can appropriately combine it with traditional Chinese medicine or acupuncture therapy. However, acupuncture therapy has limited efficacy in treating the disease and cannot completely alleviate the symptoms. Myelodysplastic syndrome is a clonal hematopoietic stem cell disease that can be effectively relieved through hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Based on the patient's infection status, antibiotics, antiviral drugs, and antibacterial drugs can be used to correct anemia or thrombocytopenia. The patient should actively undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplantation to complete symptomatic treatment for anemia, infection, and even complications.
