1. Constipation, Insomnia, and Lower Back Pain

Question: A 39-year-old woman suffers from severe constipation, insomnia, and lower back pain. Three years ago, she took Sanjin Pian and levofloxacin for a urinary tract infection for a month, and then took traditional Chinese medicine for three years. Now the urinary tract infection is cured, kidney function shows creatinine at 53, AST at 41.4, and she has bloating, belching, light menstrual flow, pale color, and fatigue.

Answer: First of all, it can be confirmed that you have two conditions: one is chronic urinary tract infection, and the other is chronic gastritis. Both can cause gastrointestinal autonomic nervous system dysfunction, leading to years of constipation. I don’t know if you’ve had an abortion, especially a medical abortion or emergency contraception. These factors can all lead to ovarian dysfunction, resulting in reduced menstrual flow. Although the condition is not severe, it involves multiple aspects of dysfunction, so you need to face it correctly. You should go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination, confirm the diagnosis, and then receive proper treatment.
