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. How should I handle leukorrhea?Doctor's answer:
In damp-heat type, leucorrhea is yellow, viscous, and has an odor. Urine is yellow and dark, with yellow tongue coating. It is recommended to use heat-clearing and dampness-dissolving Chinese medicine treatments, such as Zhi Dai Pian (Treat Leucorrhea Tablets), 5 tablets each time, 3 times daily; or Er Miao San (Two Herbs Powder), 10 grams each time, 2 times daily.In liver-fire type, leucorrhea is yellow and abundant, with itching, burning, and pricking pain in the genital area. Symptoms include dry mouth and throat, with red tongue and yellow coating. It is recommended to use heat-clearing and liver-purging treatments, such as Ku Dan Cao Pian (Bitter Coptis Rhizome Tablets), 5 tablets each time, 3 times daily; or Long Dan Xie Gan Wan (Gentian and Bupleurum Decoction Pills), 15 grams each time, 3 times daily.
In kidney-deficiency type, leucorrhea is thin and pale, with lower back pain, weak limbs, aversion to cold, and loose stools. The tongue is pale and white. It is recommended to use warm-toned and kidney-yang-tonifying Chinese medicine treatments, such as Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan (Kidney-Tonic Pills), 1 pill each time, 3 times daily.
