Doctors’ responses
Tuberculosis (TB) affecting both the stomach and spine (spinal or skeletal TB) is a serious condition that requires long-term treatment. In general, TB treatment typically lasts around 6 to 9 months, though spinal TB often requires a longer course of therapy, sometimes extending to 12 months or more, depending on the severity and response to treatment. Healing time varies based on individual factors such as overall health, the extent of TB infection, and adherence to the prescribed treatment regimen, including anti-tubercular therapy (ATT).
Weight gain during recovery can be gradual, as TB often causes significant weight loss due to malabsorption and loss of appetite. After the infection is brought under control and the body begins to heal, weight gain can usually start to improve within 2 to 3 months, but complete recovery might take longer—often 6 to 12 months or more, depending on the person’s nutritional intake, metabolism, and overall health.
In Ayurveda, supportive care for TB can include formulations like Chyavanprash and Vidaryadi Ghrita to strengthen immunity, promote weight gain, and enhance overall recovery. Ashwagandha Avaleha can also help regain strength and muscle mass, while Drakshadi Lehyam may support digestion and enhance nutrient absorption. It’s important to continue the prescribed medical treatment for TB while using these Ayurvedic formulations as supplements to aid in recovery.
Hello Dipti, full recovery from stomach and spinal TB, including weight gain, typically takes 6 to 18 months, depending on the severity of the condition and adherence to treatment. Weight gain can begin within 2-3 months of starting treatment, with significant improvement by 6-12 months, provided the patient follows a balanced diet, maintains good nutrition, and completes the full course of treatment. Ayurvedic intervention can hasten the process but detailed consultation of the patient is necessary along with all the reports.
Well, healing from tuberculosis (TB), whether it’s affecting your stomach or spine – both sounds tough, right? – takes some pretty serious dedication. Here’s the thing, the duration varies quite a bit based on the severity, the individual’s overall health, and whether they’re sticking to the treatment plan. For most people, you’re looking at about 6-12 months for TB to clear up, assuming your following doctor’s recommendations properly. Yeah, it’s a long road, but crucial to ensure the TB doesn’t come back – because that can happen, too.
Now about gaining weight, which often needs some extra care if you’ve lost a bit during the ailment. On the Ayurveda front, think about focusing on strengthening that agni, or digestive fire, which has probably taken a hit from the illness. Warm, easily digestible foods like thin porridge or dal soup can be really soothing and nourishing. Gradually incorporating healthy fats like ghee, once your digestion improves, can help with building strength and weight without straining the digestive system too much.
Routine’s important too, like regular meal times to sync your fires up, you know? Chewing thoughtfully, eating in a calm environment – they seem small but make a big deal in boosting appetite and absorption. Plus, give your tissues a gentle nourishment, as you’re kind of rebuilding, right? Don’t rush it, weight gain should happen naturally and steadily. Maybe think of light, Ayurvedic supplements like Ashwagandha, under supervision tho.
Holistic rest – mentally and physically – is vital as well, allowing your body to regenerate. It can vary, but don’t be disheartened if it takes several months to gain back the weight you want. Especially after something like TB, it’s about the balance, being consistent and kind to yorself during recovery. Remember, always keep in touch with your doc through all these stages; someone needs to be keeping an eye on the process while you heal up.
