Wind Across the World: Male, 33 years old, frequent nocturnal emissions, Two or three times a week. His lower back feels cold, and after fatigue, he tends to ejaculate a pale yellow, jelly-like semen during bowel movements. After taking Yougui Wan, the leakage stopped. But the nocturnal emissions still can't be completely controlled. His body is quite weak, and this situation has lasted for seven or eight years. Could you recommend one or two traditional Chinese patent medicines? Answer: Whether you're married or not is very important. If you're married, it's likely due to kidney deficiency and loose closure of the seminal canal, leading to involuntary ejaculation. Married men often suffer from excessive sexual activity, while unmarried men have weak qi and loose closure of the seminal canal. You can try Jin Suo Gu Jing Wan.

Devoted Guardian: Two years ago, due to work, I worked overtime until late at night for several months. Then I noticed that my armpits sweat a lot, especially in hot weather or when I'm stressed, soaking my clothes with sweat. The smell is terrible—if I don't shower for a few days, there's a sour, pungent odor. I've tried some antiperspirants, but they don't work well. Why is this happening? How should I treat it, and what quick remedies are available? Answer: This is autonomic nervous system dysfunction caused by overwork. The armpit sweat glands are the most active, and they also produce body odor. Currently, there's no drug that effectively eliminates body odor. Surgical treatment involves removing the skin and subcutaneous glands in the armpit area, which is an effective method.

Yao Yao: I'm forty years old, female, Since last year, I've felt a lump on the outer side of my left knee, but it doesn't hurt. I also feel a lump on the inner side, which occasionally hurts. The lump seems to be moving, and when my movement is restricted, shaking my leg or rubbing it helps. Ten years ago, I fell on my left knee, but didn't receive treatment and healed on my own. What's going on? Answer: Trauma often triggers the formation of bursae near the joint. A unilateral bursa can even cause a contralateral bursa. It's not a serious issue, though. You can try massage and physiotherapy, and if necessary, surgical treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine uses methods such as promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, reducing swelling, dispelling wind and dampness, adjusting the formula according to the situation, and these approaches can be effective.

The dermatologist diagnosed shingles and prescribed the following medication, saying that since she's young, she'll recover on her own. What good methods does TCM have? Answer: This is shingles. The main characteristic of this disease is pain, and the course of the illness is prolonged. Adults experience particularly severe pain, while children have stronger resistance and the pain isn't as obvious. It's recommended to inject interferon, which has the best therapeutic effect.

Answer: Zoledronic acid is currently recognized both domestically and internationally as the first-line drug for bone metastasis, but its effectiveness is only about 50%.

Water: Advanced breast cancer has caused skin breakdown and the formation of cancerous ulcers. What medication should be used to clean the wound and reduce inflammation? Answer: Wounds like this require specialized treatment, depending on the size and depth of the wound, as well as the amount of purulent discharge. Different medicated oil gauze dressings should be used accordingly. Severe cases need dressing changes twice a day, while less severe cases need changes every two to three days, and during the recovery phase, dressings should be changed once a week.

Feedback Rate: After two years of chemotherapy following ovarian cancer surgery, I now have diarrhea ten times a day and stomach pain. Is this caused by the cancer?

Girl Girl: Female, 38 years old, my lower abdomen hurts whenever I touch water, and my vaginal discharge is as abundant as my menstrual flow—everything is watery. What's going on? How should I treat it? Answer: TCM calls this condition "kidney deficiency-related leukorrhea." Of course, as long as there's leukorrhea, it means there's a gynecological infection or a past infection. Watery leukorrhea indicates that the infection has become secondary, and the priority now is to address yang deficiency. While tonifying the kidneys, we should also use astringent, drying, and hemostatic methods to stop the leukorrhea, which works very well.

Title: Female, 21 years old, student. After every run, there's redness in the vagina
Abnormal vaginal discharge, sometimes with mild symptoms and sometimes just a few blood streaks. A few days ago, after standing for 4 hours, the same situation occurred. What could be the cause?
Answer: This is bloody leukorrhea, possibly due to menstrual irregularities. There are two possibilities: one is qi deficiency leading to blood stasis, in which case the patient has low estrogen levels; the other is blood heat causing erratic bleeding, often accompanied by pelvic inflammation. In TCM, the former is treated by tonifying qi and arresting blood, while the latter is treated by clearing heat and controlling blood. Both can also be managed with astringent hemostatic methods.

Yantai: One year after endometrial cancer surgery, why does my abdomen always make gurgling sounds? The doctor diagnosed intestinal obstruction but there’s no specific medication. Is there any way to reduce the patient’s discomfort and stop the gurgling? Answer: Abdominal rumbling, or bowel sounds, refers to excessive intestinal noises—sometimes resembling the sound of air passing through water, or even a clinking sound. An abdominal X-ray can confirm intestinal obstruction if an air-fluid level (like a parachute) is observed. If the pain is not severe, it may be partial obstruction. Traditional Chinese medicine is very effective in such cases. However, if the pain is severe—95% of the time—it’s best to seek surgical treatment at a hospital. Of course, we should also observe whether there is gas passage or not.

Farmer: I have a lump on the right knee. It moves slightly when pressed, and its color is a bit darker. Usually, it doesn’t hurt when resting, but when I walk a lot or work hard, my whole leg feels sore. What could this be—is it a hemangioma or something else? Answer: Hemangiomas usually appear from childhood and may have grown recently. The most likely diagnosis is a tendon sheath cyst, which often develops rapidly within a short period. However, tendon sheath cysts are more common in the popliteal fossa than around the knee.

Lele: Ever since I caught a cold after the Spring Festival, I’ve been feeling dizzy. After going to the hospital, I was diagnosed with hypertension and chronic bronchitis. I’ve been taking “Valsartan” for a while, and now my blood pressure is 130/86 mmHg, but I still feel chest tightness, coughing, and shortness of breath. It always feels like something is stuck in my throat. Can traditional Chinese medicine help treat these symptoms? How should I proceed? Answer: Traditional Chinese medicine is very effective for treating these conditions. You may have coronary heart disease, or perhaps a respiratory infection, or even both. The principle of syndrome differentiation and individualized treatment in TCM will provide the correct therapeutic approach and prescriptions.

Most Loving: My mother is almost 50 years old. She used to have chronic atrophic gastritis—eating the wrong food would cause stomach pain. Now, whenever she gets angry, her stomach feels bloated, and when I press her stomach, it feels hard. Could this be cancer? What treatment do I need? Answer: Don’t assume every stomachache means cancer. The incidence of gastric cancer hasn’t increased; according to the latest statistics, it has dropped from the top spot to third place, while lung cancer and colon cancer are rising rapidly and now surpass gastric cancer. The incidence of chronic atrophic gastritis is increasing, especially bile reflux-related atrophic gastritis, which has risen particularly sharply. This is because people’s living standards have improved, leading to higher intake of fats and proteins compared with the past, and biliary diseases have increased significantly. These factors affect the normal function of the stomach, making bile reflux more likely and irritating the gastric mucosa.
My menstrual flow is very light—only two days—and I also have spots on my cheeks. I’m really upset. What kind of medicine should I take to regulate this?
What medicine should I take to regulate this?
Answer: Your estrogen levels are low, probably because you’ve had an abortion before, especially a medical abortion. Now you need to start treatment as soon as possible, and the best option is TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment. [2. Yaoyao: I had an X-ray today, and the doctor recommended a small-needle-knife procedure on my left knee]{.underline}
Surgery—I’m very scared. Do you think I can try conservative treatment instead?
How should I proceed?
Answer: The small-needle-knife procedure is not surgery; it’s a physical therapy aimed at helping the local soft tissues adapt to bone overgrowth, thereby reducing pain. There’s no need to be afraid—it’s not surgery. Why be afraid?
I have a cyst on my left ovary, and my period is usually delayed by about a week. Is this serious? What causes it? Will it affect pregnancy?
Answer: Ovarian cysts can cause menstrual irregularities. A one-week delay indicates hormonal imbalance, so you should take traditional Chinese medicine. On the one hand, it can shrink the ovarian cyst; on the other hand, it can normalize your menstrual cycle. Only in this way can you conceive and give birth smoothly after marriage.

Four stitches were given,
Is there any way to avoid scarring?

During sexual intercourse, premature ejaculation is quite severe—sometimes I ejaculate after just two touches.

Suo Yang Gu Jing Wan,
yet I still couldn’t control my ejaculation.
Answer: I suspect you had a long history of masturbation before marriage, and all your current symptoms are sequelae of that. Clinically, I call this syndrome.
