Patient's question:
After giving birth, I don't know if it was an infection I passed on or something else, but I've always had gynecological issues—either vaginitis or pelvic inflammatory disease. Later, I always felt pain during intercourse with bleeding, so I went to the hospital. They said it was endometritis, and now I'm taking Western medicine, but my condition hasn't improved. I want to know how traditional Chinese medicine treats this?Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is based on syndrome differentiation and treatment, which can be combined with dietary therapy. The specifics are as follows:(1) Internal damp-heat obstruction type: Treatment focuses on clearing heat and resolving dampness while promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
(2) Blood stasis and qi stagnation type: Treatment focuses on promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, as well as regulating qi and promoting blood circulation.
(3) Yin deficiency and internal heat type: Treatment focuses on nourishing yin and clearing heat.
Monks at Bamboo Forest Temple diagnose endometritis by differentiating syndromes and believe that the treatment for endometritis should prioritize clearing heat, detoxifying, resolving dampness and stopping leucorrhea, as well as promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis to prevent worsening. No salt or vinegar is needed. This formula has the function of nourishing yin and clearing heat. For severe gynecological conditions, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent further worsening of the condition.
