Can lymph node tuberculosis be cured by traditional Chinese medicine?

Lymph is a part of the human body. In addition to the lymph in the armpits and neck, the most well-known lymph also appears in the lungs and abdomen, etc. Therefore, we cannot neglect the care and health of the lymph in our lives, and we must always pay attention to preventing lymphatic diseases. So the question is, there is a disease called lymphadenopathy in clinical practice. Is this disease treated with traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine?

Why choose Chinese medicine or Western medicine?

Western medicine treatment: only treats the symptoms but not the root cause, prone to relapse

Western medical treatment mainly relies on surgery: for simple lymphadenopathy, simple lymph node removal is performed under local anesthesia; for those who have formed abscesses, lesion removal is performed; for those who have ulcerated, neck lymph node dissection is performed, and local skin tension suture is performed at the same time; for multiple, bilateral, and large lesions, staged surgery is performed.

Such surgery can quickly remove the lesions, but it is not a permanent solution:

First of all, the surgery causes great trauma, and if the surgery is not done well, it can easily damage local nerves and blood vessels. The postoperative wound is large, and it is painful to fill the wound with gauze and change the dressing, and it is difficult to ensure that the wound is not infected, so many patients' wounds cannot heal for a long time after surgery.

Secondly, lymph tuberculosis is a systemic disease. You can use surgery to clear the sinuses and ulcers in a diseased area, or remove the lymph nodes in a certain area, but surgery cannot eliminate a single tuberculosis bacillus, nor can it eliminate the pathological internal environment that breeds more bacteria. Therefore, the result is that while surgery brings you a moment of peace, a larger and more sinister disease is brewing in the dark, and those tuberculosis bacilli will continue to infect new organs. This is what is often called the recurrence of tuberculosis bacilli after surgery.

In short, surgery is only an auxiliary means of treatment. It has an immediate effect, but it only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. If you want to completely cure tuberculosis and prevent it from recurring, you need to choose traditional Chinese medicine for treatment.
