Patient's question:
I have a particularly itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Why do I always feel hungry before my period?Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that this condition is called "xiao gu shan ji," which is caused by excessive stomach fire. When food and water enter the stomach, the stomach fire decomposes and digests them. However, due to the excessive stomach fire, the decomposition process becomes too intense, leading to xiao gu shan ji.Based on your description, it is generally not typical for your body to be in good health. It is important to adopt a proper approach by increasing nutrition, supplementing with vitamins and trace elements, consuming easily digestible and absorbable foods, avoiding harmful stimuli, and engaging in appropriate physical exercise.
