Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me if using a duck-billed clamp during a routine vaginal examination leaves any marks?Doctor's answer:
It won't leave any marks on the cervix; it's just an expansion of the vagina. The vagina has strong elasticity and won't be affected, nor will it impact the cervix. You don't need to be nervous—it's not as severe as you might think. Based on your symptoms, it's likely a vaginal inflammation caused by damp-heat accumulation. Treatment should focus on clearing heat and expelling dampness, and traditional Chinese medicine can be used for regulation. Your diet should be light and avoid spicy or irritating foods.
