Chapter 1031 The face keeps jumping

  Guo Xiang took Yuan Mei to the hospital, and Zeng Jing took Xu Wei and several major doctors to greet him at the door.

   Seeing people getting off the car, Zeng Jing greeted them, "Have you come back?" They were former colleagues and they were quite familiar.

   "I'm back!" Yuan Mei nodded, smiling at everyone.

  Guo Xiang gave everyone a brief introduction to Yuan Mei, and said to Zeng Jing: "It just so happens that you take Dr. Yuan to the dormitory and visit the hospital by the way. Take a good rest today and go to work tomorrow!"

   "Okay!" Zeng Jing nodded.

   "Thank you Dean Guo!" Yuan Mei said.

  Back to the consulting room, Guo Xiang thought for a while, called Ye Qian, talked about Fu Peiwen's return to China, and asked her to send a few people to protect her family and children. Ye Qian said to make arrangements immediately.

   Two people just sat down and came in.

  A young woman brought a middle-aged woman in her forties to see the doctor.

  "Doctor!" The two called.

  Guo Xiang nodded, "Who is uncomfortable?"

   "It's my mother, look at her face!" the young woman said.

  Guo Xiang only noticed the middle-aged woman’s face. One side was beating all the time, beating involuntarily, and that eye could hardly be opened.

   "Sit down, let me see!" Guo Xiang said.

  She thought of Gu Zhennan before, but Gu Zhennan had a facial paralysis and injured a nerve. She was treated with acupuncture. This person was just the opposite. He was twitching all the time and couldn't stop.

  "When did it start?" Guo Xiang asked as he checked.

"It's been four years. One day, I suddenly twitched for some reason, and I couldn't hold it. I first saw it at our county hospital. The doctor said what kind of frontal sinusitis was, and he treated it according to the frontal sinusitis. For more than a year, it has no effect at all."

  The young woman also nodded, took out the previous medical records and handed them to Guo Xiang.

   "Later, I went to see a Chinese medicine doctor and got a needle every day. After half a year, it still didn't work, so I didn't want to suffer the crime."

"Later they said that we might not be able to see the disease in this place. When we were going to the capital, we came to the capital. They also visited two hospitals. Effect." The middle-aged woman said.

"The other said it was a blood disease. It frightened my mother. She prescribed a lot of medicines. Not only did it not work, but it also became serious." Could it be an eye problem?"

"But we have been watching so many hospitals for so long, and I really didn't believe them. I went to inquire and heard that our hospital is very famous and treats many diseases that others can't cure, so we thought about it. Now, just watch it again."

  Guo Xiang nodded. Now many people may not know this. In later generations, some major hospitals have specialized departments called Dyskinesia Department, which most people don’t know.

   "You are right here, others may not really know, you are dystonia!" Guo Xiang said.

  "What is dystonia?" the two asked.

"Dystonia is a dyskinesia syndrome caused by the uncoordinated or excessive contraction of the active muscles and the antagonist muscles. Some people have a crooked neck and keep shaking their heads. Some people have eye cramps, just blinking. Can't control the muscles."

   "Your mother is a facial muscle, which twitches involuntarily." Guo Xiang said.

  "How do I treat it?" The middle-aged woman asked hurriedly, but she didn't think the doctor really knew that she had come right.

"There are two methods, one is injections, and the other is surgery." Guo Xiang said, "We will do a brain CT later to see if there is any physical damage to the brain. If there is no injection, it is fine. Surgery may be required."

   "Is it good for an injection?" the young woman asked.

"No, it's only temporary." Guo Xiang shook his head. "Injection is something called botulinum toxin. Botulinum toxin is a very strong neurotoxin. It acts on the ends of cholinergic motor nerves and interferes with acetylcholine. The release of motor nerve endings prevents the muscle fibers from contracting, causing the muscles to relax, and the facial muscles no longer beat."

  Guo Xiang said, she didn’t say that in fact, in later generations, many people used botulinum toxin to remove wrinkles for a long time, which was very popular in the beauty industry.

   "However, this acupuncture treats the symptoms but not the root cause. It will be shot again in half a year to a year, and it must continue to be shot." Guo Xiang said.

   "Huh? So troublesome?" The young woman frowned.

   “There is also surgery, but it depends on the situation. If it is serious, a craniotomy will be required, which can be cured in one go.” Guo Xiang said.

   "What? A craniotomy?" Both mother and daughter were shocked. It was a major operation. If something goes wrong, it will be dead. It is better to get an injection to be safe.

  At this time, people always think that surgery is a big problem. It only takes one’s life. Isn’t it just the muscles on the face that jump, and it won’t kill you. It’s acceptable to get an injection every six months to a year.

"Don't worry, the craniotomy is not very dangerous. Just do a microvascular decompression." Guo Xiang said quickly, "It is to put a spacer on the blood vessel to separate the blood vessel and the nerve so that the nerve does not compress the blood vessel. , That's it."

  The mother and daughter looked at each other, and they had to put something inside to open the skull. How could the more they listened, the more terrifying?

   "Let's do a CT first and then watch it!" Guo Xiang said.

  Opened an order for two people to pay the fee, and then had a CT.

  There is no organic disease in the brain. The mother and daughter decided to get an injection. The operation sounds scary.

Guo Xiang gave the first injection of botulinum toxin. "It will take effect three days after the injection. You can stay here in the hospital, or come back three days later. Because some people are not sensitive to botulinum toxin, if it doesn’t work, it’s possible. Surgery is still required."

   "Then let's come again in three days!" the middle-aged woman said, hospitalization is expensive, and you can save three days of money.

  Three days later, when the mother and daughter came, Guo Xiang knew it was effective. His mother's face stopped beating, and her eyes opened wide.

  "Doctor, look, am I alright?" The middle-aged woman was very happy and raised her face to show Guo Xiang.

   "Yes, my mother has been unable to open her eyes for the past two years. I was shocked when I opened it so big today." The young woman smiled, "And you see, my mother is still younger!"

  Guo Xiang laughed, “Yes, this medicine has the effect of wrinkle-removing and beauty. Some people get more wrinkles after a single shot, and the wrinkles will unfold and become younger.”

   "Really, then we are still taking advantage." The middle-aged woman laughed and touched her face, "For so many years, I feel that this face is not mine. I finally stopped jumping today. It feels so good!"

"But you will have to fight once a year in half a year. The effect of this medicine will gradually diminish, and it will not last. When you have this botulinum toxin in the future, you can fight it at the local hospital instead of going to the capital." Guo Xiang said .

   "Hey, thank you doctor!" The middle-aged woman smiled, "It's okay, I think it's time to visit the capital."

  Guo Xiang smiles and has a good mentality.
