Patient's question:
I am only 24 years old this year, but I have had gynecological inflammation for several years. Today, when I came home, my mother cooked donkey-hide glue for me. Doctor, can I eat donkey-hide glue if I have gynecological inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Ejiao is a medicinal supplement for qi. It does not affect women with gynecological inflammation, but those with a tendency to stomach issues should avoid it, as it may exacerbate stomach discomfort. For example, individuals who experience adverse reactions when taking supplements due to deficiency should be cautious. Patients can first try taking a small amount and observe if there are any abnormal reactions afterward. If none occur, they can continue taking it. Additionally, besides treating the primary gynecological inflammation, active treatment should be pursued.
