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. 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 wait and see. 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 monnieri (She Chuang Zi)
- Poria cocos (Bai Xun Pi)
- Smilax glabra (Tu Feng Ling)
Boil these herbs in water to wash the external genital area.
