Patient's question:
When I was a girl, my body was still okay, but I don't know if it was during childbirth when the hospital didn't do a good job with hygiene that I severely contracted a gynecological disease. I've seen many doctors, both traditional Chinese and Western, but the results haven't been very effective. It keeps getting better and then recurring again, which is very frustrating. I'm looking for some home remedies that might help treat it.Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that vulvar pruritus is often related to the dysfunction of the liver, spleen, and kidneys. Clinical diagnosis commonly involves conditions such as damp-heat in the liver channel, yin deficiency of the liver and kidneys, and disharmony between the liver and spleen. In recent years, the author has achieved relatively ideal results by adopting an integrated internal and external treatment approach, which is explained as follows:Internal Formula: Longdan Xiegan Wan (Dragon Bone Liver-Purifying Pill), taken twice daily, with each dose being 9 grams. A 10-day period constitutes one course of treatment. Alternatively, Longdan Xiegan Tang (Dragon Bone Liver-Purifying Decoction) can be used:
Chuanqianzi (Plantain Seed): 10g
Mutong (Aristolochia Root): 6g
Huangqin (Scutellaria Root): 6g
Longdancao (Gentian Root): 6g
Shanzhi (Gallnut): 9g
Fuling (Poria): 10g
Shengdi (Rehmannia Root): 15g
Zexie (Alisma Root): 10g
Chaihu (Bupleurum Root): 6g
Gancao (Licorice Root): 4g
The decoction is boiled twice, with a 10-day period constituting one course of treatment.
In fact, suffering from gynecological diseases is not something to be feared.
