Pain, "Huangdi Neijing" mentioned that "it is painful to break the festival, and it is painful to be unreasonable." What does this mean? "Disobservance is painful", that is, warming, moistening, nourishing and relaxing. "Disobservance is painful" refers to the loss of yin and yang, ying and Wei, qi and blood, and body fluid, resulting in the loss of viscera and meridians. "Inaccessibility leads to pain" refers to patency and passage, that is, when meridians stagnate, people's bodies will suffer. Patients with breast cancer are deficient in qi and blood after operation, and their meridians are malnourished, so there will be symptoms such as upper limb pain, numbness and even general pain. So, how can we prevent these symptoms after surgery?
First of all, breast cancer patients should realize that surgical resection of the tumor does not mean recovery, and they need to continue treatment. After all, breast cancer resection is a major operation, which will make patients lose vitality and lack of blood. Therefore, after the operation, it is necessary to cooperate with traditional Chinese medicine to restore vitality and nourish the spleen and stomach, so as to make the wound heal faster and prevent some unnecessary postoperative infections. Secondly, patients need to strengthen nutrition, so that the spleen and stomach can regenerate the qi and blood needed by the whole body and enhance the immunity of the body; Furthermore, proper exercise, attention to rest, postoperative must not be too hasty, too tired, activities need to be gradual, which is helpful to enhance physical fitness, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
For patients with postoperative pain, one is cancer cell invasion, and the other is qi deficiency. At present, there are two analgesic schemes, traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine. Western medicine can be solved locally, with quick effect, but great side effects. In particular, patients who take painkillers for a long time will have patience with drugs. If you don't take it, the effect is not obvious, so you have to increase the dose, which will cause more serious toxic and side effects to your body. Pain relief with traditional Chinese medicine is the root to solve the problem. Through invigorating qi and nourishing blood, anti-tumor, dredging collaterals and relieving pain and other traditional Chinese medicines to achieve the purpose of relieving pain. Although the treatment time is longer, the effect is more lasting and there are basically no side effects on the body.
