My father has a femoral neck fracture, and he is 52 years old. The operation has been done for more than a month. How to care at home and how to prevent femoral head necrosis?

It's not easy to have patients at home.

Take your time, but still seek Chinese medicine.

As the saying goes, "three-point treatment and seven-point care" is the way to care for patients with femoral head necrosis. For people with femoral head necrosis, it is undoubtedly worse if they don't know how to care after getting sick. Therefore, patients should first master the correct nursing methods to achieve the best curative effect. I will elaborate on this point below.

First, don't do hydrotherapy. Because the legs of patients with femoral head necrosis are cold, and the false advertisements are misleading, many people want to take hot springs in order to relieve the symptoms of cold legs. As we all know, sweating after soaking in hot springs will cause serious harm to body fluids, damage yin and body fluids and lose yang. It only takes 20 days for patients to change from stage I to stage IV, and the consequences are quite serious.

Second, don't do physical therapy, sleep on a hot kang or use an electric blanket. Femoral head necrosis is ischemic necrosis, and the patient has insufficient blood supply. However, dry and hot physical therapy, hot kang and electric blanket will make the affected area drier, lose yin and blood, accelerate the process of bone necrosis, and thus aggravate the condition.

Third, don't use drugs for external use. The cause of femoral head necrosis is in the abdomen, not in the femoral head itself. All the treatments of "treating headache and treating foot pain" with externally applied drugs failed to find the root cause. To say the least, even if the externally applied medicine has symptoms, it is not the place to stick it. Patients may wish to note that when you are alone in the room, when someone suddenly knocks at the door or there are other noises that make you extremely nervous and panic, when you stand up immediately, you will feel that your legs and feet are particularly good, almost as if you are not sick, but after more than ten seconds, you will return to your original appearance, which proves that there is an internal cause for what I said about femoral head necrosis. Secondly, the external medicine is usually at a low temperature, which not only causes great pain to patients who are afraid of cold, but also makes blood gas stagnate when it is attached to the affected area, which is harmful and useless. It can be said that external application therapy is a world of difference in the treatment of femoral head necrosis, haste makes waste.

Fourth, don't overwork yourself. Femoral head is the key part to support the body, and overwork will obviously increase its burden and aggravate its injury. During the medication, the patient will have a particularly brisk leg every day. At this time, they shouldn't walk for a long time. At most, they walk slowly twice indoors without crutches, reducing outdoor activities. If necessary, crutches should be used to relieve the pressure on the affected area so as to give the femoral head time to repair.

Fifth, avoid eating cold food. Patients with avascular necrosis of femoral head have the gas of cold and fire condensation, so they should avoid cold, especially cold drinks, eating fruits on an empty stomach and drinking alcohol indiscriminately to avoid losing their vitality.

Sixth, avoid eating pig's head. Pork head meat is salty and cold, and it has broken properties, so it is not suitable for patients with femoral head necrosis.

Seventh, choose doctors carefully and use them skillfully so as not to delay the treatment opportunity and aggravate the degree of necrosis.

First, the treatment of femoral head necrosis is not credible. Any practice of classifying femoral head necrosis into hormone, alcohol, trauma and other types and claiming "symptomatic treatment" has not found the root cause of the disease, and at best it is ineffective.

Second, it is not credible that Chinese medicine treatment is based on western medicine theory. Chinese medicine and western medicine have their own systems and their own strengths. It is obviously confusing to claim that Chinese medicine treatment is supported by western medicine theory and does not treat diseases. Patients need to distinguish carefully.

Third, the traditional Chinese medicine therapy based on tonifying kidney and strengthening bones, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis is not credible. Although it is about the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, it has not found the source of the disease from its treatment law. Because 95% of patients with femoral head necrosis are not kidney deficiency, but have one thing in common, that is, they have a big temper, forget to eat and sleep at work, do not avoid cold and heat, and always don't care about their health, which is the cause of the disease.

Finally, under the premise of following the correct treatment rules and maintenance methods, patients with femoral head necrosis should maintain an optimistic and peaceful attitude and firmly believe in overcoming the disease. In my personal experience, femoral head necrosis is not an incurable disease. After all, a person's re-standing is mental first, and then physical.
