The Pentecostal man heard that eating Polygonum multiflorum can make his hair black. He bought some powdered water and drank it every day. I didn't expect to eat it for more than three months. Not only did the hair not turn black, but the skin and eyes of the whole body turned yellow. When I went to the hospital, the liver function has been seriously damaged. The experts in the Department of Gastroenterology, Wuhan Central Hospital reminded that in recent years, more and more patients with drug-induced liver damage have been caused by the disorderly medication, and medication must be prescribed.
Mr. Zhou, 56, lives in Houhu. He has grown a lot of white hair in recent years. More than three months ago, Mr. Zhou heard the old man from his hometown saying that Polygonum can make white hair black, and he bought a lot of people in his hometown. After going home, I made it into a powder and brewed it. I drank a big cup every day. After 3 months of taking it, he found that the hair did not turn black. Recently, there were symptoms of fatigue and loss of appetite. At first, he did not care too much. Until the skin and eyes of the whole body became yellow, the color of the urine became dark brown, and I realized that the situation was not right. I quickly went to the Houhu District of Wuhan Central Hospital for treatment.
Upon examination at the hospital, it was found that the total bilirubin and transaminase in the blood were more than 10 times higher than that of normal people, and severe jaundice appeared, which is a typical manifestation of severe liver damage. The digestive physician further inquired and found Mr. Zhou. There is no liver disease in itself, and this time has been eating Polygonum multiflorum, considering the drug-induced liver damage caused by chaotic eating of Polygonum. At present, after standard treatment, Mr. Zhou's jaundice gradually subsided.
Zheng Dan, deputy director of the Department of Gastroenterology, Houhu Hospital, said that in recent years, more and more patients have caused drug-induced liver damage due to indiscriminate use of drugs, a large part of which is caused by long-term misuse of Chinese herbal medicine.
Director Zheng stressed that to avoid drug-induced liver damage, it is best to use less medicine and not to use drugs. Whether Chinese medicine or western medicine, it is necessary to take it under the guidance of a doctor, especially for patients with liver disease. It is necessary to check liver function regularly. If you have symptoms such as general malaise, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, fever, chills, etc., you need to stop taking the medicine immediately and go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying the disease and causing irreversible liver damage.
