A fan sent me a private message saying, "Doctor, I'm only 19 years old, I don't have friends, and I don't have X life, but I recently felt unwell and went for a check-up, saying that I have pelvic inflammatory disease, why, I don't dare to tell my parents......
First of all, let's be clear, don't think that a girl who is not married and has pelvic inflammatory disease is not a good girl, and if you are married, don't think too much, will it be that there is someone outside the husband? Don't think about it!
Actually, it may be a warning from your body.
Maybe it's because your body has too much phlegm and dampness, why do you say that? I'll tell you a patient's case.
【Medical Case】
Xiaowen, a 20-year-old freshman in college, always feels pain in his lower abdomen, has a lot of secretions, and feels that his body is always very tired, and he often has a fever; when he goes for a check-up, he has pelvic inflammation, and he doesn't dare to tell his roommates and family, for fear that they will think they are not a good girl.
I bought some medicine and got better, but it relapsed again after a few days, and I couldn't help it, so I took a leave of absence and went home and her mother took her to find me.
When she first came to me, her mother said, "Director, my daughter doesn't have a boyfriend yet, what's the matter?
I was very angry, and this was her own daughter, so I said to her, "Why is it a shame? Even a teenage girl can get this so-called gynecological disease, why should she get it, she may have problems elsewhere in her body! Why be ashamed?"
Then I asked Xiaowen if she had any other symptoms: the patient complained of weakness, laziness, loss of appetite, feeling swollen and uncomfortable after eating a little, unable to eat at all, accompanied by headaches, oily hair on her face, sticky stool sticky to the toilet, headache, loss of appetite, inability to eat, insomnia, cough, phlegm, etc., I looked at her tongue, and the tongue coating was yellow and greasy.
Subsequent prescriptions: Coptis chinensis, fritillary, atractylodes, Poria cocos, Codonopsis, and yam are simple 6 flavor medicines, and let her go home and eat them for follow-up;
Seeing the Fangzi girl's mother, she shouted: You have to show us well, we are still young, and we will have children when we get married in the future!
Why am I so confident?
That's because I know that Xiaowen is actually a manifestation of spleen deficiency and dampness, phlegm and dampness.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the spleen is the essence of the acquired nature", our spleen and stomach will transform the food we eat into the subtlety of the water valley to nourish our body, and transform it into qi and blood to promote our acquired growth and development; once our spleen and stomach are not good, the things we eat cannot be converted into nutrients, and the water will slowly turn into dampness, and the dampness and these turbidities will gather into phlegm and dampness; phlegm and dampness will accumulate heat into the female uterus, which will be inflammatory, and polyps, cysts, fibroids, etc.;
So you see, is this a shame? It's just that we have a problem with our spleen and stomach, and we just need to solve it, so why shame?
Half a month later, Xiaowen's mother called me and said that her daughter's inflammation had healed and was no longer recurring, and now she could eat and feel refreshed. Then I added or subtracted a little on the basis of the original prescription, and another course of treatment was consolidated.
Now you understand, why do some girls have pelvic inflammatory disease and even polyp cysts if they don't have X life?
However, it should be noted that this recipe is caused by phlegm and dampness and heat, and patients with cold and damp constitution should not refer to it. Traditional Chinese medicine should be dialectical and should not be used at will.
