Great Chinese Doctor

Chapter 204 Infertility

"In traditional Chinese medicine, gout is also called arthralgia, a disease caused by the blockage of meridians by pathological products such as dampness, heat toxins, and blood stasis in the body, which leads to poor circulation of qi and blood, thus causing joint pain, redness, swelling, and limited mobility."

"In the treatment of gout, traditional Chinese medicine focuses on syndrome differentiation and treatment, and adopts corresponding treatment methods according to different causes and syndrome types."

"Arthritis has long been recorded in ancient Chinese medical books. For example, the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine states that "the three elements of wind, cold and dampness come together to form arthritis." There are several types of arthritis. You can listen to them and learn about them. At least you will know the basic situation of this disease."

"The first type is wind-cold-dampness arthralgia, which is manifested by joint pain, swelling, and difficulty in flexing and extending the joints. It is aggravated by cold and relieved by warmth. The principle of treatment is to dispel wind and cold, remove dampness and dredge the meridians."

"The second type of heat arthralgia is redness, swelling, heat and pain in the joints, limited mobility, accompanied by fever, thirst, irritability and other symptoms. The treatment principle is to clear away heat and detoxify, unblock the meridians and relieve pain."

"The third type is phlegm and blood stasis, which causes joint pain and swelling, accompanied by numbness and difficulty in flexing and extending the limbs, and a dark purple tongue or ecchymosis. The treatment principle is to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and to resolve phlegm and dredge the meridians."

"The fourth type is liver and kidney yin deficiency, with joint pain and swelling, accompanied by sore waist and knees, tinnitus, dizziness and other symptoms. The treatment principle is to nourish the liver and kidneys, dredge the meridians and relieve pain."

"The fifth type is arthralgia due to spleen deficiency and excess dampness. This type of arthralgia is more common in people who are overweight and have an irregular diet. The main symptoms are sore and painful joints, accompanied by physical fatigue, loss of appetite, and loose stools."

"The treatment principle is to strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, unblock the meridians and relieve pain. Commonly used Chinese medicines include Poria cocos, Atractylodes macrocephala, Alisma orientalis, etc., which are mainly used to strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, and are combined with drugs that promote blood circulation and unblock the meridians, such as Salvia miltiorrhiza and Chuanxiong."

"By understanding these types of arthralgia, we can more clearly realize that TCM treatment of gout is not a one-size-fits-all approach, but rather requires the flexible use of various treatment methods based on the patient's specific symptoms and constitution."

"In addition to taking Chinese medicine orally, we can also use acupuncture, cupping, massage and other therapies to achieve the best treatment effect."

"In addition, Chinese medicine also attaches great importance to prevention, advocating 'prevention before illness and prevention of progression after illness'. In daily life, we should pay attention to diet adjustment, avoid overwork, and maintain good living habits, so as to effectively prevent the occurrence and recurrence of gout."

"I want to emphasize that although TCM has its unique advantages in treating gout, patients should still combine medical diagnosis and treatment, follow the doctor's advice, and use medication rationally when receiving treatment."

"At the same time, the treatment of gout is a long process. Patients need to have patience and perseverance and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment in order to gradually improve their condition and improve their quality of life."

"Of course, there are many ways to treat gout in traditional Chinese medicine, such as taking Chinese medicine orally. According to different syndromes, we choose Chinese medicine that has the effects of dispelling wind, removing dampness, clearing heat, resolving phlegm, and promoting blood circulation, such as Angelica dahurica, Gentiana macrophylla, Stephania tetrandra, Coix seed, Phellodendron chinense, Achyranthes bidentata, and Salvia miltiorrhiza..."

"There is also acupuncture treatment, which stimulates specific acupoints to regulate the flow of qi and blood in the body, achieving the purpose of unblocking meridians and relieving pain. Commonly used acupoints include local joint acupoints, Zusanli, Yanglingquan, Xuehai..."

"Cupping therapy removes dampness and coldness from the body, promotes blood circulation, and relieves joint pain."

“Tuina massage promotes local blood circulation and relieves joint pain and muscle tension through manual massage.”

"Diet adjustment, avoid eating high-purine foods such as animal offal, seafood, etc., and eat more light, easily digestible, vitamin-rich foods."

"In short, when you encounter this situation, you can use the above-mentioned concepts to choose or treat gout..."

Qin Qing also checked the time. "Next, we will randomly select three patients who are destined to be treated. Please be ready."

[Another critical moment, nervous! ]

[Did you go to Dr. Qin's free clinic? I did, but I didn't get in line because there were too many people. Also, there was a car accident that day, and Dr. Qin managed to save the situation all by himself. He was so handsome.]

[It's all over the Internet. I've watched the video. I'm a layman, but I just want to know who the handsome man who handed Dr. Qin the handkerchief was?]

[It seems someone has found out that he is from the Xu family in Beijing, but we can’t say too much. It is said that once this gentleman’s information was released, the entire network was refreshed within three minutes, and this gentleman’s name disappeared in an instant.]

[The Xu family in the capital? I advise everyone not to discuss which one is the crown prince, the real crown prince. If you discuss it too much, someone will come to ask for tea.]

[Prince, to be honest, I have barely seen many rich people in my life, let alone a prince.]

The discussion among netizens gradually went off topic until a turntable appeared and the discussion on the barrage stopped.

After a moment, the turntable stopped, and Qin Qing immediately announced the user names, "The three randomly selected patients are "Blue Enchantress", "Carolet", and "Book Friend"..."

"Let's connect to the first Blue Enchantress first."

A 23-4 year old woman soon appeared in the live broadcast room. She was wearing a furry blue pajamas, with a bun on her head, an oval face, and big eyes. She looked a little naive when she blinked.

"Hello, Dr. Qin, my name is Tu Yuanyuan, nice to meet you. Well, my current situation is hard to explain, but I believe that even if I don't explain, you should know."

Qin Qing also nodded. "I almost figured it out when you came closer just now, but to ensure accuracy, you should get closer so that I can observe it carefully."

After a moment, she frowned solemnly, "Your sallow complexion is obviously due to insufficient Qi and blood, spleen and kidney yang deficiency, insufficient Qi and blood production, dark fundus, insufficient Yin and Yang, and inability to warm the uterus. Also, you should have irregular menstruation, which has been like this since childhood. When you have your period, your waist and knees are sore, your kidneys are deficient, your lower abdomen is cold and painful, and your uterus is cold. Moreover, with irregular menstruation, your emotions are flammable and explosive, your liver qi is stagnant, and your sleep is not good, which affects your body's endocrine and reproductive functions..."

"All of the above indicate that it is difficult for you to conceive. You have liver depression and blood stasis."

"What do you mean?" Blue Enchantress was confused, with a bad feeling in her heart.

Qin Qing also sighed and said, "What it means is that the fallopian tubes are blocked, making it difficult to conceive, or it can be said to be infertility."

How cruel it must be for a woman, a 23-4 year old woman, to find out that she is infertile at the prime of her life.

There was an expression of shock and sadness that was hard to conceal on Blue Enchantress's face. Tears were glistening in her eyes and her lips were trembling slightly. She seemed to want to say something but didn't know where to start.

Qin Qing also looked at her gently, with a hint of lightness in his tone, "Although this news is heavy for you, for me, it is not difficult to treat. If you start with traditional Chinese medicine, there are many ways to help you improve this situation."

"Blue Enchantress" eyes lit up. Yes, Doctor Qin was such a skilled doctor, he must have a way to cure her. It was a bit too early for her to grieve now.

"Doctor Qin, what should I do next? Take medicine for treatment?"
