Why is it not recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine to treat polycystic cysts?
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disease in which patients often present with symptoms such as irregular menstruation, multiple cysts, and elevated androgen levels. In recent years, TCM methods for treating PCOS have attracted much attention, but from a medical perspective, it is not recommended to use TCM to treat PCOS. This article will provide readers with a detailed explanation from the aspects of TCM treatment theory, clinical effects, side effects and evidence support.
TCM treatment theory is not applicable to PCOS
PCOS is an endocrine disorder caused by ovarian dysfunction, and the conditioning treatment theory of traditional Chinese medicine is based on balancing the body\’s yin and yang, qi and blood to achieve treatment. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine theory cannot target the endocrine abnormalities of PCOS from the root cause, but can only play a certain alleviation role. In addition, TCM treatment often takes a long time and is very expensive, and if PCOS is not effectively treated, it can cause many potentially serious health problems, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and female infertility. Therefore, we should pay more attention to modern medical methods of diagnosis and treatment of PCOS.
The clinical effect is not as good as modern medicine
In the clinical treatment of PCOS patients, traditional Chinese medicine treatment often fails to achieve the desired effect. In contrast, modern medicine is effective, fast, and robust. For example, oral contraceptives, insulin, etc. are all effective means of modern medical treatment for PCOS. These drugs can significantly reduce or even eliminate irregular menstruation, excretion of cysts, and avoid qi and blood stasis, thereby achieving the purpose of treating PCOS. Moreover, the efficacy of modern medicine has been clinically verified many times. Therefore, modern medicine is a good option for treating PCOS.
Many side effects, not suitable for all people
There are many side effects in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome with traditional Chinese medicine. Specifically, traditional Chinese medicine has different effects on the health of women of different ages. It may also cause many side effects, and severe ones may even have irreversible consequences. These The side effects are more prominent than modern medical treatments.
Lack of supporting empirical evidence
Finally, TCM treatment of PCOS lacks a large amount of scientific research and evidence support. Modern medical treatment of PCOS is supported by a large amount of scientific evidence and has been successful. There is a big difference between traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods and modern medical treatment methods, and the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine has not been fully proven, so the fact is that traditional Chinese medicine treatment of PCOS still needs more empirical evidence to support its safety and effectiveness.
Summary
In short, although TCM is deeply respected and trusted by people as a traditional therapy of the Chinese nation, it is not recommended to use TCM conditioning in the treatment of PCOS. The main reason is that TCM treatment theory is not applicable to PCOS, the clinical effect is not as good as modern medicine, and there are many side effects. Applies to everyone, lacks supporting empirical evidence. Therefore, we should pay attention to PCOS and, under the guidance of modern medical experts, choose scientific, safe, and effectivetreatment methods.
