Patient's question:
My aunt has recently developed gynecological inflammation and is currently undergoing medication treatment. Someone recommended mugwort, doctor, can mugwort treat gynecological inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Gynecological inflammation often manifests as increased vaginal discharge, abnormal odor, or accompanied by symptoms such as vulvar itching, sexual intercourse bleeding, lower abdominal heaviness, or lumbosacral pain. Based on your description, the primary function of mugwort (ai ye) is to warm the meridians, dispel cold, regulate menstruation, and promote blood circulation. However, its effectiveness in treating gynecological inflammation is uncertain. It is recommended that you visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a follow-up examination to confirm the diagnosis and receive medication and treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
