I can talk to my internal organs

Chapter 283 Eye Cancer, Retinitis Pigmentosa

Department of complex diseases.

Lu Jiu only had one patient left.

It's just that this patient is very special.

She also had cancer, but this cancer was not internal cancer.

It's eye cancer, which can also be called retinitis pigmentosa.

This disease is also incurable in modern medicine.

It can't even relieve the symptoms.

Many people who have this disease are told by doctors that they may become blind one day, maybe two years, or maybe five years, it all depends on personal luck.

This was the case for the patient in front of her, so she came to Lujiu Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, hoping to try her luck without going completely blind.

At this time, Lu Jiu was holding an examination report, which was given to him by the patient, and there were several films on the table.

"Reduced vision in both eyes, night blindness, narrowed visual field, visual acuity test: 0.4 for the right eye, 0.3 for the left eye. Visual field of the right eye: 40° above, 55° below, 45° nasally, 60° temporally; visual field of the left eye: 45° above °, 60° inferiorly, 40° nasally, and 55° temporally.”

"Fundus examination with dilated pupils revealed: the borders of the neural discs in both eyes are still clear and appear blue-grey, the retinal arteries and veins are thinned, osteocyte-like pigmentation appears next to the blood vessels at the equatorial part of the retina, the retinal pigments in the macular area are disordered, and the central foveal reflection is weakened."

"Diagnosis: Primary retinitis pigmentosa (double)."

Lu Jiu actually didn't need to read the examination report, but he was quite curious about the data on the organic lesions of this disease.

After reading this, he also learned something.

In fact, retinitis pigmentosa is called high wind bird eye in traditional Chinese medicine, or it can also be called yin wind barrier.

In addition to typical night blindness, the most peculiar thing about people suffering from this disease is that their visual field is reduced.

When we normal people look straight ahead, although the left and right sides are not focused, the picture will be blurry, but at least there is still a picture.

But this type of patients is completely different. Their vision seems to be blocked by two black screens. When they look forward, the left and right sides are blocked by darkness, and there is no picture at all.

The extent of the occlusion depends on the severity of the patient's condition.

Like the patient in front of her, when she was talking to Lu Jiu, if she faced Lu Jiu as a line, thirty degrees to the left and right sides would be the blind spots in her field of vision.

As the condition worsens, this blind area of ​​vision will expand, and the patient's limited visual angle will shrink until complete blindness.

This disease is actually very scary, because after a while your vision becomes narrower, and you will live with the fear of going blind every day. This fear will eat up your mind and make it difficult for you to sleep or eat all day long. install.

Once you fall into this fearful mood, there is no possibility of recovery.

why?
Although the liver is connected to the eyes, it shines brightly and controls the kidney essence and the mind. Therefore, tonifying the essence and calming the mind is the basis for treating the eyes.

It is true that the liver controls the eyes, but if you want to see clearly and far, it is controlled by the kidney essence and the mind.

Fear of kidney injury and kidney essence damage will lead to poor circulation of the five internal organs in the body, insufficient Qi and blood, and the mind will not be nourished by enough Qi and blood. In addition, fear will make people insomnia, further aggravating the lack of nourishment of the mind and heart. , how can the eye disease be improved?

Of course, this cannot be blamed on the patients themselves.

When the outside world generally believes that this is a terminal illness, once the information barrier is formed, the sick person will naturally panic. Even if someone tells her that traditional Chinese medicine can cure it, the panic will still exist due to preconceptions. This is inevitable.

Fortunately, Chinese medicine also has the strongest buff.

That is, if no one can see it well, they try their luck with traditional Chinese medicine.

If you can't cure it, you won't lose; if you cure it, you will gain blood.

"Are you usually dizzy?" Lu Jiu put down the report.

Mao Ronghua nodded, "Dizzy, very dizzy. Sometimes when I wake up, I feel like my world is spinning as soon as I get up. It doesn't work even if I lie down for a day." Lu Jiu asked, "Where's your waist? Does it hurt?"

Mao Ronghua said, "It hurts. I didn't do any physical work, so I don't know what happened."

Lu Jiu then asked, "Both sides should also hurt, right? It's just the ribs on both sides."

Mao Ronghua said, "Yes, yes, it hurts."

Lu Jiu looked at Mao Ronghua's face carefully, "How long have you been suffering from insomnia?"

Mao Ronghua's pupils opened slightly, "I haven't been able to sleep well for three or four years."

Lu Jiu nodded, "What about your appetite? How is your appetite?"

Mao Ronghua frowned, "I can't eat too much, it's easy to be bloated and uncomfortable."

The liver, heart, kidneys, and spleen don't seem to be doing well.

"Yinhai Jingwei: Missing at Dusk" describes the eye disease: "Although the eyes are organs, they belong to the kidneys. If the kidneys are deficient, the eyes will be dim."

Of course, in addition to the kidneys, there must also be problems with the spleen.

The kidney is the root of innateness, and the spleen is the foundation of acquired nature. The essence of innateness depends on acquired water and grain essence for nourishment. If the spleen is deficient, the spleen and stomach will lose their health, the transformation of qi and blood will have no source, and the essence and qi of the five internal organs will lose their place, and they will not be able to return to the eyes. .

However, there are also eye diseases caused by yin deficiency, such as liver and kidney yin deficiency, insufficient true yin, yin deficiency that cannot help yang, yang qi cannot be used, yin deficiency and blood stasis, blood stasis, and loss of moist nourishment of the eyes.

"Looking at Yao Han: The Theory of Eyes as the Supreme Treasure" says: "The true essence is the essence transformed by the vitality of two heavens in succession. It originates from the kidneys, is applied to the gallbladder, and then reaches the pupil and spirit. All of these will be damaged. , the eye disease has occurred."

The true essence and blood contained in the eyes are supported by the essence of the internal organs. This process requires both the innate and acquired essence as the material basis, and the yang energy to promote the hair. Both are indispensable.

At the same time, as time goes by, deficient symptoms will naturally be mixed with positive symptoms.

Lu Jiu had seen Mao Ronghua's eye films and reports. The ocular blood flow diagram, microcirculation, tongue and sublingual veins, platelet activity, and vascular endothelial test indicators and other examinations all showed that Mao Ronghua's eye blood circulation The blood volume is reduced, the flow rate is slow, the bulbar conjunctival and nail fold microcirculation manifests as abnormal capillary course, the viscosity and aggregation of the whole blood are enhanced, the platelet function is hyperactive, and the vascular endothelium is damaged, and these are almost all empirical evidence.

It can be seen that Mao Ronghua is a typical syndrome of deficiency and excess combined with stasis.

Therefore, Lu Jiu must first find out the cause of the disease before he can treat Mao Ronghua appropriately.

But if you want to differentiate the syndrome of combination of virtual and real, you can’t just look at the whole body, you have to make a judgment based on the local part.

Only in this way can we achieve the most precise treatment while finding the pathogenesis, so as to achieve the best curative effect.

"Come on, give me your hand and I'll take your pulse." Lu Jiu said.

Mao Ronghua nodded, and then handed her hand to Lu Jiu. It was not until Lu Jiu prompted her to extend her other hand that she realized that traditional Chinese medicine does not use one hand to take the pulse like in the TV series.

At the same time, Mo Linxun and others also came to the complex disease department.

They wanted Lu Feng to go in and ask Lu Jiu if he was off work, but they happened to see him checking someone's pulse, and there seemed to be only one patient in the outpatient room, so the large group of people quietly stood guard at the door.

The others were not interested in seeing a doctor and sat down on the bench in the corridor. Mo Linxun and others kept staring at Lu Jiu. They did not go in. After all, they rushed in so abruptly during the consultation. Somewhat disrespectful.

They don't know much about Chinese medicine, but at this moment they really want to know what disease Lu Jiu is treating.

As the head of a hospital, he is also a student of a master of traditional Chinese medicine.

If it was really promoted, it would be very disappointing.

This disappointment was not only for Lu Jiu, but also for Huang Fusheng.
