Chinese medicine treatment for ascites in ovarian cancer

According to traditional Chinese medicine, ovarian cancer is mostly caused by insufficient positive energy and internal accumulation of evil energy, which is pathologically characterized by deficiency of the root and excess of the symptoms. In the early stage of the disease, the treatment is mainly to attack the evil energy and support the positive energy; in the later stage, the treatment is mainly to support the positive energy and eliminate the evil energy. There are two main types of evil energy: qi stagnation and blood stasis, and dampness and toxicity. Deficiency of the body is mainly manifested as deficiency of both qi and yin.

The treatment of ascites in ovarian cancer is a critical part of the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer. Generally speaking, once a patient develops ascites, it will be difficult to control, and the patient's condition is already very serious.

Clinically, the appearance of ascites in ovarian cancer generally indicates that the cancer has entered the late stage and the prognosis is very poor. Although the condition of ascites in ovarian cancer is serious, you cannot give up treatment casually. Giving up treatment is equivalent to giving up the chance of survival.

The treatment of ascites in advanced ovarian cancer needs to be timely and effective, but because some patients often find it difficult to withstand surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other confrontational and damaging treatments, the treatment method must be chosen with caution.

The treatment of ascites in the late stage of ovarian cancer is ineffective if the actual situation is ignored and the treatment is carried out rashly, which leads to the deterioration of the patient's condition and the rapid death of the patient. Therefore, the treatment of ascites in ovarian cancer cannot blindly remove the malignant tumor or shrink the mass. It is necessary to improve the symptoms as soon as possible and effectively control the patient's condition. When the patient's condition stabilizes, it can be considered whether surgical treatment, chemotherapy or other auxiliary treatments are needed according to the patient's specific situation.

In summary, the treatment of ascites in advanced ovarian cancer is mainly aimed at eliminating ascites and controlling the patient's symptoms. Clinical methods to relieve ascites are diuretics, ascites recovery and other treatment methods. At the same time, the lesions of primary malignant tumors should be actively treated, which directly affects the increase or decrease of ascites and the progression of the disease. When surgery, radiotherapy, etc. cannot be used, Chinese medicine is currently used more clinically.

Attention should also be paid to Chinese medicine treatment. The main focus of Chinese medicine treatment for ascites in advanced ovarian cancer is to change the treatment pattern. Moreover, some Chinese medicines have been extracted and synthesized through modern technology. They have the dual effects of inhibiting and killing tumors and improving human immunity. They are prescription drugs for the treatment of ascites in advanced ovarian cancer.

The selection of Chinese medicine also needs attention. Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine for the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer ascites emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment, and some Chinese medicines have been extracted and synthesized through modern technology. They have the function of inhibiting and killing tumor cells and improving the body's immunity, and are the preferred method for the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer ascites.

Clinical studies have found that Chinese medicine for the treatment of ascites in advanced ovarian cancer can effectively relieve the patient's pain, ascites and other symptoms, control the malignant tumor cells well, stabilize the patient's condition, and significantly improve the physical condition. Some advanced patients can persist in taking anti-tumor Chinese medicine and keep the tumor away for a long time. The stability of the condition of many patients far exceeds the patient's life expectancy, which can fully demonstrate the significance of anti-tumor Chinese medicine in the treatment and survival of advanced patients. Now, taking anti-tumor Chinese medicine can become the preferred method for advanced malignant tumors.

Therefore, the treatment of ascites in advanced ovarian cancer should start with controlling the patient's clinical symptoms and stabilizing the patient's condition, and then adopt appropriate treatment methods based on the patient's specific situation to prolong the patient's survival.
