Patient's question:
I am 42 years old and have been experiencing abdominal pain and a foul odor in my lower body for a while. I have visited the hospital many times, but the symptoms have not improved. I have also taken anti-inflammatory medication, but it hasn't been effective. I would like to have a gynecological examination at the hospital.Do Chinese medicine practitioners conduct gynecological examinations by touching with their hands?
Doctor's answer:
Menstruation has already ended, and undergoing a gynecological examination will not lead to endometriosis. Endometriosis refers to a disease caused by the growth and function of endometrial tissue being transplanted to locations outside the uterine cavity. Lymphatic and venous dissemination, repeatedly stimulated by hormones or chronic inflammation, can differentiate into endometrial-like tissue, forming endometriosis. The above is advice on this issue, and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you.
