Professor HU Jinhui'experience in treating breast superficial thrombophlebitis from the aspect of depression
Superficial thrombophlebitis is a non-suppurative acute inflammation along the visible superficial veins of the body surface,commonly appears in the extremities,followed by the thoracoabdominal wall(breast).The disease belongs to the category of green snake venom in traditional Chinese medicine.The disease often cannot be relieved by itself,is easy to recur,reduce the quality of life of patients,and has potential serious complications.The etiology and treatment of this disease have not been unified in modern medicine.According to the clinical occurrence and development rules of the disease,Professor HU Jinhui believes that the disease mostly appears after mood swings,and Qi(气)depression is the starting factor of the disease,namely,liver dysfunction leads to liver Qi stagnation,resulting in Qi stagnation and blood stasis,additionally,liver depression invades spleen,leadting to dysfunction of spleen in transportation,which causes endogenous sputum turbidity,that is,Qi,phlegm and blood stasis affect each other,cementing each other in the breast mammary collateral and causing this disease.Qi stagnation,phlegm stagnation,and blood stagnation(stasis)is the main pathogenesis of breast superficial thrombophlebitis.Depression as the root of the disease,runs through the occurrence and development of the disease.In the clinic,the four diagnoses should be combined for TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment.In terms of treating diseases from the aspect of depression,the treatment principle is to disperse stagnation,and the treatment methods are mainly soothing liver and relieving stagnation,strengthening spleen and dissolving phlegm,and promoting blood circulation and eliminating mass,so as to invigorate Qi and dissipate knots.On the basis of the Taohong Siwu decoction(桃红四物汤)and Xiaoyao San(逍遥散),the right medicines are increased or decreased with the change of the disease condition.In addition,Professor HU Jinhui distinguishes Yin(阴)and Yang(阳)according to the local and systemic symptoms of patients,give full play to the advantages of TCM,and combine Chinese medicines oral administration with external stickers to perform the internal treatment and external treatment simultaneously,so as to shorten the course of the disease,and reduce the pain of patients.The curative effect is remarkable,and this method is worthy of reference.
