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. What is the concept of "supplemental unhealthy obesity"?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, your condition should be caused by spleen deficiency and dampness excess leading to abnormal catabolism. Generally, spleen deficiency and dampness excess, combined with poor dietary intake, can result in abnormal fluid metabolism in the body, which may cause obesity. You can consult a local TCM practitioner for syndrome differentiation and treatment using traditional Chinese medicine to regulate your condition. In daily life, you should engage in more physical activity and exercise, and avoid spicy, irritating, and greasy foods.
