Patient's question:
Doctor: I would like to consult about if I have Sanjiao damp-heat, frequent urination, and urgency. In August, I had a thorough examination and it was confirmed to be bacterial vaginosis. At that time, treatment was done, and both trichomonas and Candida were normal. My menstrual cycle is approximately delayed by four days each month. Sometimes the discharge is thick, and sometimes it is not. After taking Zhibai Dihuang Pill for two days, the symptoms of frequent urination and urgency reduced, and the leukorrhea also seemed to disappear. But after stopping the medicine for one day, the symptoms returned. I don't know how long I should take it? The tongue has thick white fur from the root to the middle, which is also slightly yellow. The tip of the tongue is red, and the white fur is thinner when slightly pressed. For the past two weeks, I have taken many cooling herbs, such as Huanglaoji, and I eat one pear every day, in addition to Zhibai Dihuang Pill. Sometimes I also drink cat-tail grass decoction, but the fur on the tongue seems to have not changed. What medicine should I take?Doctor's answer:
This friend, the situation you mentioned is mainly considered to be related to urinary tract infections causing frequent urination and urgency. The yellow and greasy tongue is a manifestation of damp-heat in the lower burner. From a Western medical perspective, it is primarily considered to be a urinary tract infection. I suggest you go to the hospital for a urine test to check it out. There are infectious medications that can be used for antibacterial treatment, which can then address the root of the problem. Some folk remedies are not suitable for treatment, as this may lead to missed opportunities and worsen the condition. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
