Guest guest Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Does anyone have any research on how chinese medicine and in particular herbs may be helpful with Von Willebrands. I have a patient who needs oral surgery and has been advised that this is too high a risk unless performed at Mayo. The patient also suffers debilitating menstrual issues, cramping, heavy bleediing and irregular cycle length. Chinese Diagnosis - Spleen Qi Xu failing to hold, Damp Stagnation, Lv Qi Yu.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 my husband has this disease. And it involves everything that can go wrong with blood: bleeding, stagnation and deficiency. he uses yunanbaiayo to manage routine problems ( shaving cuts for example) I also have a female patient with this disease: she exhibits liv qi as her primary pattern. thus, a modified chai hu long gu mu li tang for much of the month and xue fu zhu yu tang jia jian has been helpful with menstruation. hope this is helpful Cara O.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 pre-op? i dont know. i know that yunnanbaiyao as been discussed on this board with some controversy, but i do think that it is appropriate here. despite the fact that it is septic, it can be used topically during surgery to control bleeding. that would be a practical approach in my mind. she will be on antibiotics afterward anyway.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I dont understand what the rationale is for the physician to be telling the patient she can only have surgery at Mayo. Desmopressin is regularly used for vWF disease, as a pre-op pharmacologic management. Was this advise from a hematologist? You should tell your patient to seek a second opinion. Im not so sure about trying to treat her pre-operatively with Chinese herbs, that seems to be potentially putting yourself in a legally precarious position especially if she has any bleeding complications during surgery.
