Traditional Chinese Medicine explains the cause of osteosarcoma

In clinical practice, there is no clear and definite cause of osteosarcoma. Trauma is a triggering factor. We should take early prevention measures in our daily life. If the disease is confirmed, don’t worry too much. Keep an optimistic attitude and seize the time for treatment. Below we will learn more about the cause of osteosarcoma explained by traditional Chinese medicine:

Bone tumors are the same as other tumors. Their etiology is very complex. Generally speaking, the internal factors are present first, and the external factors occur through the internal factors. The internal factors include the quality theory, the gene theory, the endocrine theory, etc.; the external factors include the chemical elements, the slow stimulation theory of internal and external radiation, the virus infection theory, etc. Multiple osteochondromas and fibroid hyperplasia are both related to the family. Bone tumors often occur between the ages of 10 and 30, indicating that the vigorous development and growth of bones is related to the occurrence of tumors. Therefore, it can be considered that during the growth and maturation of bones, the body is more sensitive to the stimulation of the above factors, so that it is easy to become a tumor or tumor-like lesion.

Benign bone tumors can become malignant: for example, chondroma, osteochondroma, osteoblastoma, etc. can all become malignant sarcomas, and fibrous dysplasia in tumor-like lesions can also become malignant sarcomas. Some bone tumor patients often recall a history of trauma to the affected part, such as sprains and bruises. In fact, such trauma will not cause bone changes, and osteosarcoma occurring at the fracture site is extremely rare; it is likely that when the tumor develops to a certain extent, the trauma prompts obvious symptoms and attracts attention.

Since the first record of bone tumor in Huangdi Neijing, doctors of successive dynasties have further explored and supplemented the understanding and treatment of bone tumor from different aspects, which has gradually deepened the understanding of bone tumor. According to the theories of various doctors, the occurrence of bone tumor is always caused by insufficient kidney qi, imbalance of yin and yang, and dysfunction of viscera, which leads to cold, dampness and toxic evil taking advantage of the opportunity to enter the bones, and blood stasis and accumulation in the bones. For example, the invasion of external evil from the surface to the inside, deep into the bones, and accumulation for a long time; the injury caused by falling and hitting, the blood vessels are damaged, and the blood stasis accumulates and does not disperse into tumors; insufficient endowment, or excessive labor, excessive sexual intercourse, depletion of kidney qi, kidney is responsible for bone and marrow production, and kidney qi depletion leads to bone lesions; excessive eating, damage to spleen and stomach, spleen failure, dampness and phlegm, accumulation into tumors; mental stimulation, emotional depression, excessive five emotions, resulting in imbalance of yin and yang, disharmony of qi and blood, and blockage of meridians, leading to bone tumors.
