What traditional Chinese medicine is used for femoral head necrosis?
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the causes of femoral head necrosis are kidney deficiency, qi stagnation and blood stasis. Therefore, drugs that tonify liver and kidney, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and strengthen tendons and bones are often used in clinic, and the effect is good with external application of plaster. In addition, Chinese medicine pays attention to the treatment of medicated diet, and suggests that patients use Danshen or Tianqi to stew soup, plus drugs that promote qi and blood circulation, such as Astragalus membranaceus, Codonopsis pilosula, Atractylodes macrocephala, and Chinese medicines such as rhubarb, Eucommia ulmoides, Taxilli and Dipsacus. Medicated diet treatment has a good clinical effect. What medicine does femoral head necrosis take? There are mainly the following types: 1. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, such as diclofenac, etocoxib, celecoxib, etc., are preferred, which have good analgesic effect; 2. If the pain is obvious, you can also use weak opioid analgesics; 3. If there is a lot of joint water and synovitis is serious, you can relieve the pain by trying to eliminate the water inside. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is mainly caused by damp-heat, so the method of clearing heat and promoting diuresis can be used in treatment, and Sanmiao Powder can be used in combination with Atractylodes lancea, Phellodendron amurense and Coicis Semen. 4. In the later stage, if the patient has osteoarthropathy caused by femoral head necrosis, collapse and fragmentation, drugs to protect cartilage, such as glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, are mainly used during this period; If the patient has dysfunction, it can be treated with drugs to promote blood circulation and relax muscles. Femoral head necrosis is a gradually aggravating disease, and there is no specific medicine that can completely cure femoral head necrosis, so don't blindly take traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine may play a role in promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, but the process of femoral head necrosis cannot be changed, and the final result needs artificial joint replacement surgery for treatment. Especially for patients with femoral head necrosis in the middle and late stage, taking traditional Chinese medicine will not have any effect, let alone fast.
