Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Is it okay to eat Job's tears during my period?Doctor's answer:
It is okay to consume during menstruation. Coix seed, also known as Job's tears, is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine that has the functions of diuretic edema reduction, strengthening the spleen and removing dampness, soothing muscles and alleviating arthralgia, and clearing heat and draining pus. It is primarily used to treat conditions such as edema, dropsy, difficult urination, damp arthralgia and spasms, and spleen deficiency with diarrhea. It can also provide some relief for conditions like arthritis, gastritis, nephritis, and hypertension.Hello, the condition you described seems to be mastitis, which is generally caused by a Staphylococcus aureus infection. Local application of magnesium sulfate can be used on the breast, while ensuring proper milk drainage. If there is an abscess, incision and drainage may be necessary.
