Chinese medicine: from rural hospitals to top three hospitals in Kyoto

When it comes to frequent urination and urgency, if it is a male patient, most people will think of prostatitis or diabetes first, while for female patients, most people will think of urinary tract infection first.

Because of the female physiological structure, the urethra is short and has a large contact area with the outside world, it is easy for foreign bacteria and microorganisms to grow and cause urinary system diseases.

This type of disease is called stranguria in traditional Chinese medicine, and is a disease characterized by dribbling or even blocked urination.

There are many causes of stranguria. In terms of modern medicine, various infections can cause stranguria, and emotions can also cause stranguria.

The patient in front of us, Tian Wen, has symptoms caused by emotional reasons. That’s why Tian Wen had seen Western doctors before, but the treatment had no effect because it was not the right medicine for her condition.

For this type of illness, hospitals basically prescribe anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-infective drugs, that is, drugs for treating urinary tract infections, or drugs for balancing the bacterial flora.

"Doctor Chen, are you saying that my condition is related to being angry?" Tian Wen asked Chen Yang.

"It does matter."

Chen Yang smiled and said, "Look at yourself, you are relatively thin, and your body shape belongs to the slender type. This kind of body shape can be called a wood type person in traditional Chinese medicine, and your physical constitution tends to be a yin deficiency constitution."

Judging from the current aesthetic point of view of women, Tian Wen's figure is definitely very good. Tian Wen is not short, about 1.67 meters tall, and 1.7 meters tall when wearing high heels. She is thin and slender, but this figure is too thin in Chen Yang's opinion.

"And in terms of age, people lose half of their Yin energy after they are 42."

Chen Yang continued, "Coupled with the inherent condition of Yin deficiency, it is easy for Yin deficiency and fire to flourish. People will become anxious involuntarily, and will easily become furious and angry when encountering some unpleasant problems."

Tian Wen’s age was listed on the examination form of other hospitals before. This year, she is exactly 40 years old, although Tian Wen looks younger than her actual age.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're probably a career-oriented woman. You're strong at work, and you're more likely to get angry at work..."

Chen Yang continued, "In addition, my work has affected my fertility. I may not have thought about this before, but as I get older, I am beginning to feel anxious."

Tian Wen opened her mouth.

As the deputy director of the National Health Commission, Tian Wen has naturally come into contact with some traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. She has also heard of many famous Chinese medicine experts in the province and has even met some of them.

It is said that there are no secrets in front of Chinese medicine. Tian Wen has witnessed this today. Chen Yang described her situation almost accurately through her pulse and symptoms, not only in work but also in family.

As the deputy director of the Health Commission, Tian Min is undoubtedly a strong woman. A 40-year-old deputy department-level official is rare in the entire Shanzhou Province.

Just as Chen Yang said, in the past few years, especially before the age of thirty-three or thirty-four, Tian Wen really had no idea of ​​having children. After she turned thirty-five, Tian Wen had the idea of ​​having children, but was always delayed because of work, and having children is not something you can do immediately if you want it.

As she gets older, if Tian Wen gets pregnant, she would be considered an elderly mother. Moreover, because of the child, the relationship between Tian Wen and her husband has not been very good in the past two years and they are always quarreling.

When things are not going well at home or when you encounter problems at work, it is easier to get angry.

As the deputy director of the National Health Commission and the second-in-command in the unit, Tian Wen can be said to be in a high position of power.

"In traditional Chinese medicine, the liver is a strong organ, just like a great general in ancient times, with masculine and upright spirit, and is indomitable."

Chen Yang continued, "So if a person is always angry, his liver qi will always be in a state of gushing out, which can easily lead to liver qi stagnation. Add to that anxiety and all kinds of unhappiness, and the liver qi stagnation will become even more serious."

"In the human body, although Qi is an invisible substance, it has many tangible substances such as blood and body fluids as its running basis. Once the Qi and blood are running, the body's water metabolism will slow down, and the water will stagnate, forming pathological dampness."

Chen Yang said: "Once the water accumulates, it will form damp heat. The damp heat will flow down the yellow mud and rush into the bladder. The bladder, as an outlet to the sea, is more prone to accumulation of mud and sand, which will also cause the bladder's water to be blocked..."

"This situation naturally leads to a series of urinary tract problems."

Chen Yang said: "For example, inability to urinate completely, frequent urination, dripping urine, waiting to urinate, lower abdominal pain, etc."

Kang Yanyan beside her opened her mouth slightly. What Chen Yang said could be said to be exactly the symptoms of their Director Tian.

The cause and symptoms of the disease are absolutely correct.

Before, Kang Yanyan thought that Chen Yang was young and his skills might not be good enough, but now Kang Yanyan was really surprised. This was not just about lack of skills, he was simply a master.

Tian Wen was also very surprised, but at the same time she was a little expectant.

"Then how should I treat my disease?" Tian Wen said: "I have taken Chinese medicine during this period, but it has no effect. It can only relieve the symptoms for two days at most."

"To cure a disease, we must address both the symptoms and the root cause."

Chen Yang said: "For this disease, we should focus on eliminating the real evil, treating the symptoms, and also treating the root cause."

As he spoke, Chen Yang typed a prescription on the computer. After printing out the prescription, Chen Yang handed it to Tian Wen: "The treatment focuses on clearing liver fire, regulating qi, clearing heat and removing dampness, and assisting diuresis. You should take this prescription for ten days after you go back, and then come back for a follow-up visit."

"Thank you Dr. Chen."

Tian Wen took the prescription and handed it to Kang Yanyan. As she stood up, she asked, "Doctor Chen, what should I pay attention to if I want to have a child at my age? Can you help me with that?"

"Go back and take the medicine first to cure this disease, and then come back. I will prescribe some conditioning medicine for you." Chen Yang said with a smile.

"Doctor Chen, will there be a big risk at that time? It is said that the risk is higher for older mothers." Kang Yanyan asked.

"At this age, the risk is definitely greater, but if you take good care of yourself and take care of the baby, there won't be any problems." Chen Yang smiled and said, "Eating and drinking water are risky, and any risk is only relative. Don't be too anxious."

"Thank you Dr. Chen."

Tian Wen thanked him again and then left the ward with Kang Yanyan.

"Director Tian, ​​I didn't expect this Doctor Chen to be so amazing."

After leaving the clinic, Kang Yanyan couldn't help but say, "Not only is his level high, but his patience is also great. I heard everything you explained just now very clearly."

"We have always advocated explaining the condition to patients and letting them understand their own situation, but not many people can really do it well."

Tian Wen said: "This Doctor Chen is indeed good. He is Professor Wu's apprentice. It is true that a good teacher produces good students."
