12. 口腔灼热感

5. Stacy: I am a 26-year-old married woman who has never given birth. Since October last year, I have had persistent lower abdominal pain that worsens during menstruation, yet no improvement has been seen. I have undergone various examinations at the hospital, including a routine gynecological exam, which came back normal. I have also consulted many traditional Chinese medicine doctors; some say it’s uterine cold, others say chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, but medication has not helped. What good advice do you have, Dr. Pei?

Answer: It seems you may have inflammation in your reproductive system. The indicators of gynecological inflammation include: first, vaginal discharge; second, abdominal pain; third, dysmenorrhea; fourth, low back pain. If these symptoms are alleviated after treatment, the chances of becoming pregnant will increase.
