Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can I eat Ejiao (donkey-hide glue) if I have an ovarian cyst?Doctor's answer:
Ejiao can tonify qi and nourish blood, but there is no scientific evidence to suggest it has the function of eliminating toxins from the body. If you are concerned about toxins in your body, you can drink more water and utilize the kidneys' excretory function to remove excess components from your body. If the ovarian cyst is not very large, you can take Ejiao, but it is not necessary to take it long-term. If the ovarian cyst has already exceeded the criteria for surgery, taking Ejiao has no meaning.
