Hormone therapy is an important treatment method in Western medicine, and it can achieve good results in many diseases, such as primary nephrotic syndrome and prolonged fever due to connective tissue disease, polymyositis and so on. However, it also has serious disadvantages, long-term application, prone to adverse side effects, such as swelling, hypertension, hypokalemia, diabetes, immune deficiency, osteoporosis, etc.. In many cases, it is difficult to tolerate the side effects of hormones, or the phenomenon of hormone dependence occurs: that is, the disease is controlled after the application of hormones, but the hormones cannot be reduced, and whenever a certain amount is reduced, the symptoms recur, which is called the rebound phenomenon of hormone therapy. This is called the rebound phenomenon of hormone therapy. Patients suffer a lot, and doctors also have a headache. When you can’t reduce the hormone, maybe Chinese medicine can help you. In my daily practice, I have added TCM treatment to some hormone dependent diseases, and most of them have successfully reduced the hormones, and in many cases, the hormones were eventually stopped and the disease was stabilized and eventually cured (please refer to my articles on polymyositis, dermatomyositis and chronic fever).
