How to treat renal hamartoma with traditional Chinese medicine

Long renal hamartoma is usually recommended to be treated with Western medicine surgery as the main approach, while traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be used as an auxiliary method. The main treatment methods for renal hamartoma include surgical resection, traditional Chinese medicine conditioning, and regular follow-up.

1. Surgical resection

Renal hamartoma is a benign tumor, but surgical intervention is required when the diameter exceeds 4 centimeters or there is a risk of rupture. Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is a common surgical procedure that can preserve normal kidney tissue. postoperative hematuria or lower back pain may occur, requiring the use of hemostatic drugs and analgesic treatment.

2. Traditional Chinese Medicine Regulation

Traditional Chinese Medicine classifies renal hamartoma as "accumulation" and often uses methods of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. You can follow the doctor's advice to use Guizhi Fuling Pill combined with Huangqi, Danshen and other medicinal herbs to improve local microcirculation. People with damp heat constitution can use Wuling San with modifications, but they must avoid long-term use of traditional Chinese medicine containing aristolochic acid.

3. Regular follow-up

asymptomatic hamartomas smaller than 3 centimeters are recommended to undergo ultrasound follow-up every 6-12 months. Monitoring indicators include tumor growth rate, changes in blood flow signals, etc. During the follow-up examination, if there is pain or hematuria in the lower back, immediate medical attention should be sought to rule out the possibility of tumor rupture.

4. Dietary regulation

Daily high protein intake should be controlled, and the total daily protein intake should not exceed 1 gram per kilogram of body weight. It is recommended to consume ingredients such as black fungus and yam that can invigorate the spleen and kidneys, while limiting animal organs and barbecue foods. Patients with combined hypertension should strictly control salt intake and have a daily sodium intake of less than 5 grams.

5. Exercise Management

Avoid strenuous activities such as basketball and high jump to prevent tumors from rupturing due to external impact. Recommend soothing exercises such as Ba Duan Jin and Tai Chi, 3-5 times a week, with each session lasting no more than 40 minutes. If there is dull pain in the waist during exercise, stop immediately and lie down to rest. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment for renal hamartoma should be based on a clear diagnosis and cannot replace surgical treatment. It is important to maintain a regular daily routine and avoid overexertion. Observe the color change of urination. In case of continuous brown urine or foam urine, seek medical advice in time. Pay attention to keeping the waist warm in winter, and use moxibustion at the Shenshu acupoint to assist in conditioning, but it must be operated by a professional Chinese medicine practitioner.
