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 cold drafts. Do I need to get a vaginal discharge check before a natural birth?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it is difficult to determine the situation. Generally, if there are no discomforts, there is no need for examination. It is recommended not to worry for now and to observe carefully. Follow the doctor's advice for treatment.Option 1: Use a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths, or a 4% boric acid solution for sitz baths, 2-3 times daily.
Alternatively, you can choose traditional Chinese medicine to relieve itching, such as:
- Bupleurum (Chai Hu)
- Sophora flavescens (Ku Shen)
- Cnidium fruit (She Chuang Zi)
- White hair (Bai Xuan Pi)
- Dendrobium officinale (Tu Feng Ling)
Boil these herbs in water to rinse the external genital area.
