Traditional Chinese medicine for treating upper limb lymphedema after breast cancer operation

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of medicines, and particularly relates to a traditional Chinese medicine for treating upper limb lymphedema after a breast cancer operation. The traditional Chinese medicine is prepared from the following traditional Chinese medicinal materials in parts by weight: 25-35 parts of caulis spatholobi, 11-19 parts of wilson passionflower herb, 11-19 parts of viscum multinerve, 5-13 parts of Chinese ivy fruits, 4-8 parts of desmos chinensis roots, 11-19 parts of camphortree fruits, 5-13 parts of sarcandra glabra and 4-8 parts of viburnum sargenti. The traditional Chinese medicine has the efficacies of warming and activating meridians and promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis and has the advantages of high acting efficiency and high pain reliving speed when applied to treatment of upper limb lymphedema after the breast cancer operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medicine, and in particular relates to a traditional Chinese medicine for treating upper limb lymphedema after breast cancer surgery. Background technique [0002] Upper extremity lymphedema is a common complication after axillary lymph node dissection for breast cancer. It is mainly caused by lymphatic reflux disorder. The possible mechanism is that the axillary lymphatic dissection cuts off the lymphatic co-flow channel of the upper extremity, so that the lymphatic drainage of the upper extremity cannot be fully drained. , resulting in increased protein concentration in upper limb lymph fluid, increased filtration pressure, decreased fluid osmotic pressure due to decreased plasma protein; at the same time, increased capillary osmotic pressure, so there may be varying degrees of upper limb edema, followed by fibrous tissue in the upper limb tissue Inflammation and inflammation of lymphedema.

[0004] When conservative treatment fails, surgical treatment can be considered. Surgical operations can be roughly divided into lesion tissue resection (traditional surgical resection, negative pressure suction), bypass drainage (venous-lymphatic anastomosis, lymphatic vessel transplantation, autologous vein replacement) Lymphatic vessel transplantation, skin flap drainage, omental drainage, lymph node transplantation, and autologous bone marrow stem cell transplantation), but surgical treatment costs are high, trauma is large, complications are many, long-term curative effect is poor, patient acceptance is low, and high precision is often required The high degree of surgical technique and operation greatly limits its scope of application
