It can be seen that everyone does not know much about nodules. So today I will answer your questions about nodules in detail and teach you how to deal with nodules!
First of all, let's answer what is a nodule, whether it will become cancerous or not, and whether to remove these three most frequently asked questions.
What is a nodule?
Nodules are relatively small tumors, and the larger ones are called masses, which can occur anywhere in the body.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the formation of nodules is mainly related to qi stagnation, phlegm coagulation and blood stasis.
What we often say is "stagnation of liver qi", which is easy to cause nodules due to qi stagnation. Nodules are often large and small, changeable and difficult to form.
However, when the stagnation of liver qi further develops, it damages the temper and the spleen and stomach are out of control, leading to phlegm coagulation; Or blood stasis occurs when blood circulation is unfavorable, nodules will form and be fixed in one place. Therefore, the formation of nodules, mostly for the gas knot first, phlegm coagulation and blood stasis in the back.
Nodules will become cancerous?
Strictly speaking, not all nodules will become cancerous, but there are many types of nodules, one is benign nodules (the possibility of deterioration is very small), the other is malignant nodules (in fact, early tumors), and there are mixed nodules (both benign and malignant exist and develop slower than malignant nodules). But at present, it is difficult to distinguish by imaging alone, and it usually needs to be judged by combining other manifestations.
The first is the shape of the nodule. Usually, the bigger the nodule, the more irregular the shape, and the higher the possibility of malignancy.
Followed by risk factors. If you have a family history of cancer, the probability of malignant nodules is greater; Long-term occupational exposure risk factors (such as exposure to radiation and long-term smoking history). ) will also increase the incidence of malignant nodules.
Finally, the age factor. Because age is closely related to the occurrence of cancer, it is necessary to pay close attention to the occurrence of nodules in the elderly.
Do nodules have to be removed?
Not necessarily.
More than 90% of the nodules detected by clinical physical examination are benign. Improving eating and living habits through reasonable drug control and conservative treatment in the later stage will generally not have much impact on the body.
The "bad" nodules that need attention are only a small part, usually less than 5%. They can stably control the nodules in the body through surgery or resection.
When there are nodules in the body, there are often corresponding signals. Pay attention to observation at ordinary times, and you can find the congestion on your body at the first time. Today, I will teach you these four points:
1, look at the forehead: are there veins standing out in the temple area?
The lateral temple belongs to the place where the liver and gallbladder meridians circulate. When the mood fluctuates, such as anger, anxiety, uneasiness, etc. , it will cause liver qi to rush, liver qi will stagnate for a long time, blood stasis will stay in blood vessels, and the area of liver and gallbladder circulation will be exposed.
2. Look at your eyes: Are there any dark circles that cannot be relieved?
Dark circles after staying up late are not serious, and will naturally recover after rest. Dark circles that can't be relieved by rest need to be vigilant!
This kind of dark circles are often manifested as local or overall blackness around the eyes and dull skin. When the eyes are black, remind you to pay attention to the health of the viscera.
3. Look at the ear: Is the area below the earlobe connected to the face swollen?
When there is a problem with the lymph nodes in the eyes, ears, nose, throat and mandible, the area connected with the face below the earlobe will swell and bulge.
4. Look at the tongue: Is the vein at the root of the tongue black and curly?
The severity of body congestion can be judged by looking at the thickness, color and degree of congestion of tongue root pulse. Generally speaking, the darker the blood vessels, the more serious the blood stasis.
Of course, everyone's physical condition is different. These signals are not necessarily physical problems, but also need to be comprehensively analyzed in combination with other situations. If there is no discomfort at ordinary times, you can have a physical examination on time without undue anxiety.
Various nodules, mainly regulating the liver!
Traditional Chinese medicine conditioning, starting from the five internal organs, and conditioning nodules, but also from the liver.
The liver governs the release of blood, calming the release of blood, strengthening tendons and improving eyesight, observing the exterior and interior with gallbladder, taking blood as the body and qi as the use, and integrating Yin, Yang Qi and blood into a whole, which is the most sensitive to the imbalance between Yin and Yang.
What I fear most is stagnation of liver qi. Once the liver qi is not comfortable, the liver's function of promoting qi will be inhibited, which will lead to qi stagnation and blood stasis, and phlegm will accumulate in the neck and form nodules.
Therefore, when we regulate thyroid nodules, lymph nodes or breast nodules, we must not forget to soothe the liver and regulate qi!
Method 1: Drink scented tea.
Spring is a good season for drinking scented tea. The fragrance of scented tea can regulate blood gas and yang, soothe the liver and relieve depression, moisten dryness and quench thirst, and can play a health care role.
Recommend three kinds of scented tea: chrysanthemum 3 g, rose 3 g and Bai Meihua 3g, which can be taken with boiled water.
Chrysanthemum can clear liver and improve eyesight, roses can soothe liver and relieve depression, and Bai Mei peanuts can quench thirst, clear heat and clear liver. Used together, it is peaceful in nature and can be drunk by most friends.
Method 2: Knocking the gallbladder meridian early is good for your health, and pushing the liver meridian late is good for your sleep.
Get up early and knock on the gallbladder
Every morning, I get up and beat my hands back and forth along the trousers line. This is where the gallbladder patrols.
Knocking on gallbladder meridian 10 minute every day can promote liver and gallbladder metabolism and enhance immunity, which is the only way to enhance physical fitness.
Maybe some people have questions, why do you have to knock on the gallbladder meridian to soothe the liver?
This is because the liver and gallbladder are divided into exterior and interior. When the liver qi is uncomfortable, it will affect the gallbladder, so it should be recuperated at the same time.
Push the liver meridian before going to bed
The liver meridian is just the opposite of the gallbladder meridian, just inside the thigh, which is the position of the underwear line.
Bend your legs before going to bed every day, starting from your left leg, press your hands on the root of your thigh and push forward slightly. First left and then right, repeatedly push 50 times, dredge the liver meridian, regulate the liver qi, and sleep better!
Method 3: Moxibustion soothes the liver and regulates the knot.
Speaking of soothing the liver and regulating qi, this is the specialty of moxibustion. Moxibustion is essential, soothing the liver and relieving depression, removing blood stasis and resolving stagnation.
We can regard the liver as a professional organ for removing blood stasis and stagnation. Moxibustion pure Yang Qi can activate qi and blood, help us dredge meridians, promote qi circulation, dredge liver qi, and the nodules will naturally disperse!
All kinds of nodules, such as thyroid nodules, breast nodules and lymph node nodules, can be treated with moxibustion on the premise of excluding heat syndrome. The smaller the nodule, the faster it will take effect, so once it is found, it should be treated as soon as possible.
