After Madam Wu and the maid in the room left, Su He endured her embarrassment. She rubbed her cramped lower back and said weakly, "I have been wanting to urinate these past two days, but I couldn't. Today, there was blood in my urine..."

"Is there blood in the urine?" Yu Jiao asked again, "Does it hurt when you urinate? Is the urine clear or turbid?"

Su He was in so much pain that a layer of fine cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Su He had never mentioned these symptoms when the male doctor came to see her before. But now facing Yu Jiao, perhaps because they were both women, or perhaps because Yu Jiao asked about the symptoms calmly and peacefully, without a trace of ulterior motive in her words, Su He felt relieved of the shame in her heart.

She used to be a brothel girl, and now that she had come to the capital, she had finally escaped from the dirty life of serving men for a living by using her beauty. Su He did not dare to tell others about the disease in her lower abdomen, for fear of being looked down upon.

Although she had only met Yu Jiao twice, Su He had a firm feeling in her heart that even if Miss Yu knew about her illnesses, she would not look at her strangely.

She said, "It is painful and difficult to urinate, but I always feel like urinating. The urine is turbid and red."

Su He paused, and couldn't help but whispered, "Miss Yu, am I suffering from syphilis?"

Yu Jiao smiled softly, "You think too much. This has nothing to do with syphilis. You have gonorrhea."

Su He's pulse was stringy and rapid. All these symptoms indicated that damp heat had been accumulated for a long time, boiling the urine into stones, blocking the kidney system. The formation of urinary stones was also related to excessive sexual intercourse and stagnation of qi in the past.

Traditional Chinese medicine has done in-depth research on gonolithiasis. Although in other times, stones are mostly removed by lithotripsy with instruments, traditional Chinese medicine has lithotripsy soup, which can usually expel the stones from the body as long as they are not too large.

There are no auxiliary examination instruments here, and Yu Jiao cannot determine the size of the stones, but since Su He is in acute pain, the stones in her body should not be too big.

Seeing that Su He was in great pain, Yu Jiao took out the needle bag and said, "I will give you acupuncture first, which can relieve the pain and promote the excretion of stones. Gonorrhea is caused by some components of urine in the body being boiled into stones. The stones stimulate the renal pelvis and calyces, causing pain and hematuria."

"Are you saying there is a stone in my body?" Su He seemed to be relieved. As long as it wasn't syphilis, it would be fine. Otherwise, if Madam Wu and the others knew about it, she would be too embarrassed to see anyone again. She took off her clothes according to Yu Jiao's instructions.

Yu Jiao nodded, and the silver needles in her hand fell on Shenshu, Jingmen, Yinling, and several intermediate acupuncture points in an orderly manner, and comforted her, "Don't worry, it's not a serious disease. You need to drink more water in the future, drink boiled water, drink less tea, try not to eat dried fruits, sugar, meat and liver, and eat a lighter diet. Spinach, beans, and asparagus all contain high oxalic acid, so such vegetables should not be eaten."

After hearing what Yu Jiao said, Su He felt relieved. She said, "I originally thought I was seriously ill. I had a constant chill and was sweating."

"These are all complications caused by gonorrhea. Chills, nausea and vomiting are also caused by stones irritating the renal pelvis." Yu Jiao explained and said gently, "I will prescribe a lithotripsy prescription for you. You must drink more water every day so that you can flush the urinary tract and expel the stones as soon as possible."

Acupuncture worked quickly. Su He felt that the pain in her waist seemed to have eased a little, and she also regained some strength, but her face was still very pale.

"I never thought that I would meet the girl again in the capital, and under such circumstances. It turns out that the girl is a female doctor." Su He said softly with a slight smile on her lips.
