I remember talking to a doctor and saying pretty much the same thing.
He looked at me, chuckled, and told me that I have no idea how much there is about so many 'medical diseases' that doctors don't know the 'underlying reason' for, and how many of the typical treatments are really just a "hey it seems to work without (too many) negative side effects, but we don't know why. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯."
