Does your child need a prescription for bone metastasis? Talking about Zhuan Gu Fang in Chinese and Western Medicine
Is it really necessary to hear the "bone-to-bone formula" in planning? Children grow up day by day, from separation anxiety on the first day of school to junior high school now. Neighbors talked about children, and they all said that they should eat Zhuan Gufang as soon as possible. Children grow very fast after eating Zhuan Gufang. But there are so many kinds of bone-to-bone prescriptions, do children really need to eat them? Chinese and western medicine clearly tell us that most of the Chinese herbal medicines turned to ancient prescriptions are prescription drugs. If you don't open the "certificate", the wrong prescription will hinder the growth of children, and some children are even shorter than the original estimated height 10cm! There is no "ancient prescription" in ancient medical books and textbooks. Dr. Qiu Qiaofan, Department of Pediatric Endocrinology, North Hospital of Chang Gung Hospital/Tucheng Hospital of New Taipei City/Dongyuan Hospital of Hsinchu, made an in-depth discussion on Zhuan Gu Fang. She pointed out that neither ancient medical books nor modern textbooks have the term "specialized in ancient prescriptions", and there is no discussion of "specialized in ancient prescriptions" in Chinese medicine circles on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. In other words, it's a unique phenomenon in Taiwan Province Province to eat the ancient recipes. Dr. Qiu Qiaofan, after carefully exploring these folk bone-setting prescriptions, found that each Chinese herbal medicine for bone-setting in Fang Yaozhong is different in composition, but most of them contain Chinese herbal medicines for nourishing liver and kidney and strengthening bones and muscles. Taking these Chinese herbal medicines too early or too much may lead to early puberty and even lead to precocious puberty in children. Why are precocious children shorter than normal children? Dr. Qiu further explained: before entering adolescence, normal children grow about 4 ~ 6 cm tall every year; After entering adolescence, due to the role of sex hormones, the growth rate of children began to accelerate and reached its peak in the middle and late stages. However, children with precocious puberty enter puberty earlier than ordinary children. Although they temporarily increased the growth rate, they also accelerated the closing of the growth plates and greatly reduced their growth time. Therefore, children with precocious puberty are often "tall before and short after". Therefore, if the child takes the prescription prematurely or excessively, it will grow faster at first, but because it shortens the growth time, the height is not ideal in the end. Furthermore, if you are exposed to high concentrations of sex hormones too early, you will also increase the risk of sex hormone-related diseases and cancer in the future. Dr. Qiu has seen many such cases in the outpatient department. When the child first came to see a doctor, the speed of tracking the height growth law was normal. After that, he didn't follow up. A year later, because he didn't grow taller, he went back to see a doctor. After inspection, he found that all the growth plates were closed. After careful inquiry, I found out that he was eating a transfer room in the workshop during this time. As a result, the child was expected to grow to 160cm, but it did not grow to 150cm, which is an irreparable regret. Therefore, Dr. Qiu appealed: "Children should pay attention to tracking their height and puberty development on time, not too fast or too slow." Improper use of Zhuan Gu Fang promotes the growth of seedlings. Dr. Qiu pointed out that not all children need to change their ways. Looking back at the historical background of Zhuan Gu Fang's development, we can see that in the past, the socio-economic situation in Taiwan Province Province was generally poor, malnutrition was quite common, and parasites were prevalent. At that time, most children were delayed in puberty because of malnutrition, so it is necessary to adjust and improve nutrition digestion and absorption and adolescent development through traditional Chinese medicine, and then develop Zhuan Gu Fang, so that children with delayed puberty can grow up smoothly and enter adolescence. However, modern children are generally obese, overnourished and even tend to be precocious. The ancient prescription is not suitable for modern children's physique, but the improper use of the foreign prescription will become a "strong seedling." Prescriptions must be returned to Chinese and western medicine majors. Because he has seen too many irreparable cases, Dr. Qiu is very opposed to blindly taking the prescription, constantly reminding parents not to ignore that Chinese medicine is a "medicine" that can change children's physique or diseases. In fact, Dr. Qiu Qiaofan, who combines traditional Chinese and western medicine, affirmed that Chinese medicine can adjust children's deviation from physique and further improve their growth and development. Therefore, Dr. Qiu not only helps patients to check the traditional Chinese medicine composition of Zhuangufang in outpatient department, but also refers specific cases to Chinese medicine, most of which are malnourished and scrawny children, so that Chinese medicine can regulate the function of spleen and stomach transportation and improve their growth and development. In addition, because children have the physiological characteristics of "more yang and less yin", it is easy to cause "yin deficiency and excessive fire" due to sleep disorders; Furthermore, modern children often suffer from "liver depression and qi stagnation" due to emotional control disorder, and even have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or Tourette's syndrome. Chinese medicine can also be used to regulate their physique and further improve their growth and development. In order to promote the clinical cooperation between traditional Chinese and western medicine in pediatrics, Dr. Qiu Qiaofan took over as the deputy of China People's Congress and the secretary-general of Chinese Pediatric Medical Association, and helped to integrate western medicine knowledge into the pediatric professional curriculum in China. Therefore, if parents have doubts about their children's physique, they can take their children to seek formal training in Chinese medicine, and judge whether their physique needs conditioning through the profession of Chinese medicine; If there is any doubt about the child's growth, the child endocrinologist of western medicine should personally check and evaluate it, arrange the necessary examination and treatment, and let the prescription of drugs return to the profession of Chinese and Western medicine. Finally, Dr. Qiu once again stressed: "Don't blindly let your children take Zhuanguo Prescription! All Chinese medicines eaten in the stomach must be treated according to the syndrome differentiation of clinical Chinese medicine. It is not immutable to take the corresponding traditional Chinese medicine according to the constitution and syndrome type. Chinese medicine attaches great importance to the occurrence and development of diseases in clinical prescriptions. Even patients with colds take different Chinese medicines before, during and after the course of the disease, so they must be adjusted flexibly according to the patient's situation at that time. Therefore, Dr. Qiu repeatedly stressed: "Professional doctors prescribe drugs, and medication safety is guaranteed. "Absolutely not all children eat the same composition of bone-setting prescription!
