Do not rub bile, up leaves when sprain!

How to treat folk when the sprains are often covered with hot leaves, rubbing bear bile, high oil, gac wine . as a result, many people with disabilities, stiff joints, muscle atrophy, even surgery .

Small injuries still require surgery because of wrong treatment

MSc. Nguyen Trung Dung, Department of Osteoarthritis - Hanoi University of Medicine Hospital, said that recently the hospital received many patients with complications who had surgery due to wrong treatment of sprains.

As is the case with the NTH (38 years old in Bac Giang), her sprained arm is due to a fall. Although she was in pain, she did not come to the hospital, but she came to the healers to make leaves. She told me, the healers warmed the traditional medicine leaf on the fire, then turned it right into the swollen area due to sprains, then bandaged. Every day, she went to the healers to change leaves once.

' Every time the teacher heats up the hot leaves, I feel hot but then calms and feels like the pain, so I persevere to the leaf palmer. But on the 7th day, when the teacher removed the place to put the old leaves out, I found the skin blisters, redness, swelling . so I had to go to the hospital for examination , "said Ms. H.

At Co Xuong Khac - Hanoi University of Medicine Hospital , doctors said she had signs of complications of cellulitis. Fortunately, she came to the hospital early but if she continued to treat herself, it could lead to fatal blood infection.

Worth mentioning, the case of wrong treatment when wrongly matched like that of Ms. H. is not unique but very popular. In addition to covering leaves, many people, when sprained, use bear bile, gac wine, high oil . rub into the wound, causing the swelling to heat, initially feeling very comfortable, but in fact it is sick There is no decrease but there is also a risk of ligament sclerosis causing chronic pain, stiffness, muscle atrophy, surgery to reshape the ligament.

Together with this view, Dr. Tran Van Phuc, Pon Green Hospital (Hanoi) said, many people suffer from minor injuries, so they are not subject to medical examination, but often rub their bear bile, covering the leaves . They inadvertently increase damage, causing complications from minor injuries to chronic injuries.

As is the case with Grade 9 patients who had to undergo surgery at Pon Green Hospital, only because of the scoliosis injury when kicking the ball. But thinking that the software injury should be subjective, not going to medical examination, not fixing wounds but using folk remedies such as massage, leaf cover . causing more trauma, so that long time has caused calcification of ligaments, destroy small bones that make leg pain impossible to walk and require surgery.

Bear bile, gac wine . cause bleeding

According to MA Dung, sprains are a popular way to call ligament damage in joints. Commonly damaged ligament sites are wrist, ankle, shoulder, and elbow joints . with varying degrees of lightness, only damage a few bundles of fibers or stretch ligaments without breaking wires ligament; heavier, ligaments can be partially broken, the rest remains intact but it is enough to loosen joints if not treated properly. And the heaviest is the complete ligament condition that loosens joints.

When sprained, the patient sees the sprain swollen and purple. This is because there is bleeding in the ligament area, depending on the severity, the blood will flow more or less. The blood flowing causes swelling of the sprained joint. The bruise around the joint is caused by blood clots, the area of ​​the sprain is warmed up and the sore is pressed. And the people are conceived, covering hot leaves, rubbing bear bile, rubbing gac wine will dissolve blood clots and the disease will go away.

Burying bear bile, hot substances into the lesion area make blood flow more and possibly
causing hematoma, even causing muscle atrophy, stiffness . forced surgery .

But the use of bear bile, alcohol, and rubbing on the damaged area is a serious mistake because using hot substances on the spot can not make the blood thaw but also cause stronger bleeding. Therefore, using bear bile and hot substances can cause blood clots to cause necrosis, even causing muscle atrophy, stiffness later. In many cases, patients who are active and not fixed lead to chronic ligament pain. If they use drugs, they can not be treated completely. Surgery must be performed to reconstruct the ligament to mobilize.

Dr. Dung recommends that, when sprained, the most important thing is to have a compromised joint with enough time for the ligament to recover. Can be immobilized by using medical braces, using compression tape but preferably immobile with new powder to ensure absolute immobility.

As for the folk remedy, the physician Vu Quoc Trung, Director of the private medical center Son Ha also affirmed that when sprained without rubbing bile wine, hot substance that can use si leaves, leaves, chrysanthemum leaves, wormwood . all finely crushed and poured a little bit of boiling vinegar to boil, cool down to fix it on the sprain, change 1 time. However, this method only applies to mild sprains, ligaments only dilate. In the case of severe sprains, complete ruptured ligaments, joints, . must be transferred to a specialized hospital for the best care.
