🌿 Integrated Chinese-Western Medicine Successfully Treating Retinal Hemorrhage
Can Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) effectively treat retinal hemorrhage due to high myopia? A patient achieved positive results after receiving TCM treatment at Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
The patient had suffered from retinal hemorrhage due to high myopia for half a year, consulting multiple hospitals before seeking treatment at Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Initial examination revealed old hemorrhage in the macular region with severely impaired vision. After three months of TCM treatment, the hemorrhage was completely absorbed, and vision significantly improved.
Patients with small amounts of retinal hemorrhage often report floating black spots or shadows in front of the eyes. With larger hemorrhage volumes, sudden vision loss and a sensation of red light filling the visual field may occur. This condition has many complications; severe cases may lead to blindness. The ophthalmology department of Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine has long specialized in integrated Chinese-Western medicine treatment of retinal hemorrhage. According to Deputy Director Ren Zheng, causes of retinal hemorrhage are diverse, including retinal vein occlusion, periphlebitis, high myopia-related macular hemorrhage, and systemic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. Integrated treatment combines modern ophthalmic instruments for examination and diagnosis with syndrome differentiation and treatment. TCM recognizes that causes of retinal hemorrhage vary. Based on syndrome differentiation, treatment is individualized rather than simply using hemostatic drugs, resulting in excellent efficacy.
