急性阑尾炎 网诊

2017.12.9  49岁 女

 脐下即右侧小腹胀痛,按痛,曲腿,大便无碍,前后胀痛3-5分。低烧:37°。昨天胃不适,呃逆。自服摩罗丹,无效,又灸了一小时也无效。附件?一般不会胀痛;阑尾:有定点痛,不会胀痛,但此前胃不适;而且一般可能伴有大便不畅;气滞腹痛,怀疑肠痈。

处方行气止痛,一付。

药后痛减30%,但未消。

2017.12.12 血压:141/83, 心率58

右腿仍不能伸直。怀疑阑尾炎,嘱立刻去医院做B超。

检查结果:检查结果白血病偏高,急性阑尾炎伴周围脓肿,建议手术。

因为是老病号,患者听从嘱服。签字后离开医院,回去服中药。

开药3副。

12.13 血压:125/73, 心率62. 药后小便7-8次。痛大减。

12.14 血压:113/70, 心率72. 药后大便7-8次。 不按不痛。痛消,烧退。

第二周带药外出旅游。

 

中医治疗的结果不仅是花钱少,恢复期快,主要是保住了器官。人的每一个器官都有用处,这是进化数百万年的结果。不是现代医学所轻易得出的一些结论。基于新发现,西医在不断更新相关知识。所以,以阶段性认识采取脏器摘除是因小失大。中医治疗此类腹部急症有确切疗效。

 

在西医学习期间,记得老师提到过,急性阑尾炎发作之前常伴有胃痛。这是非常珍贵的资讯。可惜没有进一步扩展这之间的联系。还是在拜读中医国医堂的文章,知道可能是胃粘膜脱落,下移到阑尾部,促成炎症,身体免疫系统的应答,把这两个病联系到一起。所以,近治痈,远治胃为大法。

由此看出,手术的选择时错误的,因为手术根本没有考虑到引发阑尾炎的病根。

 



27.Acute Appendicitis

Palpation Pain under belly button and lower right side. Sensitive on pressure, bent leg stance, normal stools. Low fever 98.6°. Hiccup, very uncomfortable stomach. take self-prescribed herbal pills and didn’t work.  It looks like pain caused by Qi stagnation. Strong hiccup.
Herbal therapy issued. One doze, only about 30% less pain. Probably Appendicitis. I told the patient go to hospital to get an Ultrasound B test.  

12.12.2017 B/P: 141/83, 58.

Lab report shows WBC high and Ultrasound shows Appendiceal Abscess. Doctor suggested an immediate surgery.

Because the patient is a TCM fan, she signed the paper and left the hospital. Herbal therapy issued for three doses. When finished taking the herbs, the pain declined day by day.

12.13 B/P 125/73, 62. Urination 7-8 times a day. And fever was gone and not even palpation pain. Hiccup is 50% gone.
12.14 B/P:113/70, 72. Bowel movements 7-8 times. Hiccup gone and normal body temperature.
The fourth day, the patient fly abroad for a trip with post-treatment herbal pills. No relape ever.

TCM treatment is not only less expensive and quicker recovery but saved an organ. After millions of years evolution, no organ is unnecessary due to natural choice. In spite of fast discoveries in science, a prompt decision to remove an organ only based temporary knowledge is indiscreet because we can’t undo it. Please refer the page unnecessary surgeries on the web.

I remember when studying WM, the teacher mentioned the appendicitis is often accompanied by stomach pain a few days earlier. That is a very valuable discovery, only didn’t go further linking the two symptoms with a mechanism of the disease. Later I read an article by a TCM doctor of Guo YiTang saying it might be the membranes collapsed from the stomach that traveled to the location of Appendices triggering the inflammation. A very reasonable idea.  So, we focus the immediate treatment on the inflammation followed by the treatment on the stomach to prevent it occur again.

That indicates why the surgery is not a right choice because the origin of the disease is not even touched.
