Generally speaking, under the premise of using the right medication, Chinese medicine will have a certain effect in treating necrosis of the femoral head, but depending on the severity of the disease and other factors, the efficacy of the treatment varies from person to person, so it is recommended to ask the doctor to choose the appropriate treatment plan. Necrosis of the femoral head belongs to the category of “paralysis” in traditional Chinese medicine, and requires evidence-based treatment, such as: qi stagnation and blood stasis (stagnation of blood due to lack of circulation of qi), and liver and kidney insufficiency (weakness of the liver and kidneys), and so on. Treatment can be a combination of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture. For Chinese medicines, prescriptions such as Body Pain and Blood Stasis Tang can be chosen for Qi Stagnation and Blood Stasis syndromes, while prescriptions such as Zuo Gui Wan and Yu Gui Wan can be chosen for Liver and Kidney Deficiency syndromes. For acupuncture, acupoints such as Huanjiao, Ren Yu, and Huizhong can be used. It is recommended that the doctor choose the medication or select the acupoints for operation. For those with mild condition and good prognosis of femoral head necrosis, Chinese medicine can relieve pain and promote the recovery of the lesion by activating blood circulation and tonifying the liver and kidney, etc. For those with severe condition and poor prognosis, Chinese medicine treatment may have little effect. The treatment effect is also affected by many factors such as the patient’s physical condition and the degree of cooperation between the doctor and patient. If you feel uncomfortable and need to use medication or acupuncture, please go to the hospital, ask the doctor, and after the doctor’s diagnosis to formulate a suitable treatment plan.
