Question
Not feeling like eating, feeling bloated, and experiencing pain when sleeping on my side. I had a cold and received intravenous injections before, and the symptoms recurred the day after recovery. Starting from the 18th, I’ve been feeling my stomach bloating and feeling weak.
Answer
The production of pleural effusion is mainly due to changes in the rate of pleural fluid production by the parietal pleura or the absorption of pleural fluid by the visceral pleura. Pleural effusion is a common complication after lung cancer surgery. Small amounts of pleural effusion have little impact on quality of life, but when the effusion exceeds 3000ml, it needs to be drained. However, even after drainage, it regenerates quickly, and it cannot be cured completely, only providing relief. During drainage, combining with traditional Chinese medicine containing more than 16% of Rh2 (a compound known as “Huoming Su”), an anti-cancer substance, can help prevent rapid recurrence and also avoid the occurrence of pleural adhesion during Western medical treatment.
