What is the difference between diagnosis and Western medicine

First, TCM diagnosis is facing a huge impact of Western medicine. TCM diagnosis and Western medicine diagnosis have their own advantages and disadvantages. Through the comparison of the two, thinking and looking forward to the future of TCM diagnostics, in order to improve the level of TCM diagnosis and promote the modernization of TCM. Traditional Chinese medicine absorbed the ancient Chinese science and culture. On the basis of summing up clinical experience, it made necessary philosophical speculation.

Second, its basic theory is the monism of vitality and the theory of Yin Yang and five elements under the guidance of traditional philosophy. The principle of traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis is that the body is an organic whole with five viscera as the center. Visceral lesions can be reflected from the five senses, limbs, body surface and other aspects. By means of looking, smelling, asking and cutting, the external symptoms and signs were examined, and the etiology, location, pathogenesis and nature of the disease were inferred, so as to diagnose the disease.

Thirdly, the traditional European ideology and culture accepted by western medicine is represented by atomism and reductionism, whose basic theory is anatomy and biochemistry based on modern natural science. Western medicine believes that the essence and ultimate cause of human health and disease lies in the original particles. Only by decomposing and reducing to microscopic material particles can we explain the essence and ultimate cause of disease.
