De Quervain disease and carpal tunnel syndrome are major problems that occur after delivery. During pregnancy, hormone confusion readily causes inflammation of tendons ;furthermore, overuse of hands during care of other children contributes to symptom onset. We report four cases of de Quervain and carpal tunnel syndrome occurred after delivery. All patients were women, aged 33-­39 years. All patients breast-­fed after birth. One patient was diagnosed with de Quervain disease, two were diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome, and one was diagnosed with de Quervain disease accompanied by carpal tunnel syndrome. All patients received tokishakuyakusan ;thereafter, their pain decreased, but slight numbness from the carpal tunnel syndrome remained. Drugs that can be used during breastfeeding are limited ;however, tokishakuyakusan can be prescribed safely and effectively.

We report the case of a 36-year-old male who presented with an abdominal complaint after straightening of irregular teeth. He was examined and treated, however, the cause of the abdominal complaint could not be determined and the treatment was ineffective. He was treated in our clinic with yokukansankachinpihange for obvious pulsation in the supraumbilical region following the oral tradition of Kampo medicine, and the symptom gradually disappeared. We discussed the mechanism of the stomachache in Kampo medicine. After treatment, this case was diagnosed as somatoform autonomic dysfunction in psychiatric medicine. Advanced treatment by a psychiatrist was necessary to treat this disease in psychiatric medicine. In this case it is suggested that treatment following the oral tradition of Kampo medicine was effective.
