Chapter 78 Hemorrhoids, swelling, pain, and infertility
"I'm also looking forward to the day when Qiaoqiao gets better."
Liu Lili accepted Xu Yong's blessing and left with her daughter amid the curiosity of other waiting patients.
Before she had walked far, she heard Xu Yong's excited voice coming from the clinic.
"Doctor Chen, your medical skills are truly amazing!"
"The patient's condition is exactly as you instructed, but just a quarter of an hour after taking the medicine, he developed abdominal cramps, and his bowel sounds echoed through the ward like thunder."
When talking about the scene he saw among the patients, Xu Yong's tone could not help but become excited.
If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that the senile intestinal obstruction that had plagued their entire department was cured with just one dose of medicine.
"Later, the patient started burping again, his breathing became smoother, and his bowel movements were smooth."
"If you calculate carefully, it's only an hour. If we were to operate on a patient like this, we wouldn't know if we could get off the operating table for an hour."
After saying this, Xu Yong was not the only one who was immersed in the shock brought by Chen Yin's prescription for treatment.
Even Liu Mengxi, who was practicing medicine alongside Chen Yin, couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise.
As for Liu Xianhua, it goes without saying that he only now realized what an opportunity Director Liao had given him by arranging for him to study with Dr. Chen.
Although I had heard Chen Yin’s speeches before, the cases described orally were still far more shocking than the cases I saw with my own eyes.
In the corridor outside, Liu Lili, who had not walked far, subconsciously quickened her pace when she heard Xu Yong's words.
She wanted her daughter to take the medicine faster and see her daughter's body return to normal sooner.
Liu Lili, who was far away, could hear it clearly, not to mention the patients sitting at the door waiting.
Most of them were people who had come to the county hospital for outpatient treatment before, and they had greater trust in Chen Yin's medical skills.
But there are also people who get in by mistake, just seeing the name of an expert and can't wait to register.
Suddenly hearing such exaggerated praise from the hospital doctor, I couldn't help but ask:
"Who on earth is this expert Chen? He can actually cure a patient in just one hour."
As soon as these words were spoken, the man immediately felt countless gazes focused on him, and he couldn't help but shrink back in fear.
But what he didn't expect was that everyone immediately enthusiastically introduced Chen Yin's basic information to him.
"You can tell at a glance that the queue started after the clinic opened. Didn't you see the stents placed at the hospital entrance? They are all the results of Dr. Chen's treatments."
"Dr. Chen is a famous doctor in our city. Even the powerful and influential people rush to see him."
"If our county wasn't Dr. Chen's hometown, I probably wouldn't have had the luck to get an appointment with her directly."
"Young man, you are lucky enough to catch Dr. Chen's first day of consultation."
…
A group of people were chattering about information about Chen Yin that they had heard from somewhere.
To sum up all the information, Doctor Chen has excellent medical skills and is indifferent to fame and fortune. He is a rare famous doctor in Dongyu.
In the clinic, after Xu Yong vented his excitement, he scratched his head embarrassedly.
He realized that he seemed to have delayed Chen Yin's outpatient clinic time and kept backing away. "Doctor Chen, our department will continue to monitor the patient's condition. If there is anything else, I will tell you later. I won't waste your time."
Before he finished speaking, the figure had disappeared in front of Chen Yin. He really came and went in a hurry.
Liu Xianhua glanced at Chen Yin, then immediately left the stool with a hint of understanding, ran to the door, opened it, and shouted to the people outside:
"Who's number two? It's number two's turn to see the patient."
"I!"
A middle-aged woman in the crowd raised one hand excitedly, and with the other hand, she pulled her daughter, who was hiding behind her, and ran quickly towards Liu Xianhua.
Anyone with eyes could immediately recognize the two girls - Ma Changying and Zhu Yuanyuan, mother and daughter.
They also instantly knew which patients they wanted Chen Yin to treat.
In the clinic, Ma Changying excitedly pulled her daughter forward, and no matter how reluctant Zhu Yuanyuan was to move, she still came in front of Chen Yin.
Chen Yin glanced at the two people with very different expressions and couldn't help asking:
"Excuse me, who needs medical attention?"
"My daughter, my daughter, Doctor Chen." Ma Changying pushed her daughter to the table.
"Mom∽" Zhu Yuanyuan called out reluctantly.
Then, she immediately showed a frown on her face, and her whole body exuded a depressed aura.
Ma Changying was not moved at all and complained bitterly in front of everyone.
"My daughter is really sick and refuses to see a doctor or take medicine. It worries me as a mother. When I heard that Dr. Chen was at the hospital outpatient clinic, I immediately dragged my daughter out of her son-in-law's house. Dr. Chen, please help me find out what medicine my daughter should take so that she can have a baby?"
At this moment, the first thought that came to their minds was to see someone for infertility.
Chen Yin glanced at the family members who were obviously more anxious than the patient and reminded them:
"There are many factors that can affect childbirth, even mood can have an impact. Family members are kindly requested not to be anxious and put too much pressure on the child."
Ma Changying knew Chen Yin's ability. When she heard this, she almost burst into tears and said in a choked voice:
"Doctor Chen, I don't want to do this either, but my daughter has been married for three years and hasn't had a baby, let alone any signs of pregnancy. I'm worried she'll take after me, her mother. I took a lot of medicine to give birth to her, and I'm worried the child will take after me and have difficulty having children."
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhu Yuanyuan's tense face instantly collapsed. She looked at her mother with heartache, and there was no longer any resistance to Chen Yin's gaze in her eyes.
"Mom, I'll listen to you and see a doctor."
"Please let me take a look, Doctor Chen." Zhu Yuanyuan gave up resistance and placed her hand directly on the table.
Chen Yin looked deeply at the mother and daughter, and did not take their pulse first, but continued to check according to her own habits.
"Don't worry, I'll get to know the situation first before taking your pulse."
"Hand over your medical records first. Whatever I ask later, just answer truthfully."
"Okay, okay!" Ma Changying couldn't wait to hand the medical record to Chen Yin, which also contained some prescriptions that Zhu Yuanyuan had taken.
Chen Yin took a quick look and found that most of the prescriptions above were common prescriptions for warming the uterus, and there was no change in the dosage.
As for those folk remedies that only recorded the names, she didn't even give them time to blink and just put them aside.
"You've been infertile for three years, right?"
"Yes." Zhu Yuanyuan gritted her teeth and uttered the word with difficulty.
"Do you feel any discomfort on a daily basis? Is your menstrual period regular? Is it painful when it comes? What does your period look like?"
"No, I'm in good health."
When Zhu Yuanyuan said this, her tone was clearly filled with strong dissatisfaction. She raised her chin high, and her eyes were full of confusion.
"Before, my period was on time every month. Now, after taking a lot of soup medicines given by my mother and mother-in-law, it is only once every two months. It is not painful and the color is bright red."
Hearing this, Liu Mengxi and Qi Wenzhong looked at each other in confusion, with deep confusion in their eyes.
The two have been with Chen Yin for quite some time, and such a strange case is rare.
Because common infertility symptoms can basically be seen in menstruation, but the patient in front of them did not show any abnormalities, which trapped their thoughts for a while.
Chen Yin wrote down the patient's statement truthfully and continued to ask:
"What about the vaginal discharge? What color and condition is it?"
…
The two asked and answered each other, which made the people around them more and more confused. They were at a loss as to how to treat Zhu Yuanyuan's infertility.
However, Chen Yin had some idea of the patient's condition and began to perform tongue and pulse diagnosis.
The tongue diagnosis was the same as she had guessed: the patient's tongue was pale red with a thin white coating.
The pulse diagnosis also showed nothing unusual, and it could be said that "there is stomach, spirit, and root."
So, while others were still trying to connect Zhu Yuanyuan's infertility with her self-description and the diagnosis results, Chen Yin simply pushed the medical record in her hand over.
"You don't have any illness in your body, so you don't need to see a doctor or take medicine."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanyuan was the first to express disbelief. She subconsciously retorted:
"How is that possible? Doctor, I've been infertile for three years."
"Your tongue diagnosis is normal, and your pulse is neither floating nor sinking, neither fast nor slow. Although there are signs of wind, cold, and dampness on the surface, this is normal in this season. When the condition is mild, we Chinese medicine practitioners always hope that patients can overcome it through their own circulation."
"What about my irregular periods?"
"Although the duration of menstruation increases from one month to two, it won't significantly affect fertility. As long as you're in a good mood and don't take medication recklessly, you'll be back to normal soon. Furthermore, countless people experience menstruation, including seasonal, annual, and late menstruation, and it won't affect fertility."
Zhu Yuanyuan's mind was blocked by the information instilled by Chen Yin, and she looked confused, her eyes were wide open, and she remained silent for a long time.
On the contrary, Ma Changying on the side finally regained his sanity and found the correct answer from Chen Yin's various hints.
“Bang!”
She suddenly stood up from the stool, slammed the table angrily, and roared:
"Okay! Now I finally know. It's your husband who can't have children! And now you want to put the blame on us. Yuanyuan, let's go find Chen and settle the score—"
Ma Changying acted as usual, not caring about his daughter's condition at all, and rushed to the door with her.
The hurried appearance of the two scared the people waiting outside the door, and they all moved closer to the wall to leave space for the two to walk.
In this small county town, almost all the residents are relatives who are connected by various connections.
Someone just recognized the mother and daughter, and Zhu Yuanyuan's husband's family, the Chen family, was no exception.
Through Ma Changying’s roar just now, almost everyone present knew that the inability of Zhu Yuanyuan and her husband to have children was the Chen family’s problem, and many people showed meaningful smiles.
But soon, the sound of "number three" from the clinic interrupted everyone's thoughts.
In the following time, Chen Yin had almost no time to rest and saw one patient after another.
Until it was twelve o'clock in the morning.
Liu Xianhua looked at Doctor Chen who was working so hard and couldn't help but remind him:
"Doctor Chen, it's time for lunch. Why don't we let everyone outside go first? We can continue this afternoon."
Hearing this, Chen Yin raised her watch and took a look. It was already twelve and five.
She didn't say it, but she actually felt a little hungry at this moment.
But ending it so suddenly wasn't a good idea. "Go outside and call the next patient. Persuade the other patients to leave first. We'll continue at 1:30 pm."
"I'll go right away!"
Liu Xianhua trotted towards the door excitedly and shouted to the people outside:
"Number 24! Who is number 24?"
"Me!" A suppressed male voice came from a distance.
Liu Xianhua looked in the direction of the voice suspiciously, then quickly retracted his gaze and said to the person who was still waiting at the door and unwilling to leave:
"The 24th is the last patient this morning. The others can come back at 1:30 p.m."
The patient who had been waiting for a long time wanted to say something in rebuttal, but when he saw Liu Xianhua's cold face, he had to bite his words back.
Liu Xianhua had already informed the situation and turned to walk towards the clinic.
After a while, the man holding the registration number 24 walked into the clinic cautiously.
Lin Yao raised his eyes and saw the two girls standing in the clinic, especially Chen Yin who was sitting in the middle. He was so scared that he subconsciously took a step back.
Liu Xianhua noticed that the patient wanted to escape and quickly persuaded him:
"It's the doctors' break now. In the entire building, Dr. Chen is probably the only one still seeing patients. Dr. Chen is a famous doctor at Dongyu. If you miss this opportunity, you'll have to endure it for a few more hours, or even longer."
Lin Yao was already hesitant about this, and what Liu Xianhua said made his heart begin to relax.
Finally, Lin Yao looked at Chen Yin deeply, gritted his teeth, turned around and closed the door.
Then he took strange steps and slowly approached the four people.
At this time, everyone noticed something abnormal about the patient and began to observe the patient who was slowly approaching more carefully.
As before, Qi Wenzhong habitually wanted to invite the patient to sit down.
But when Lin Yao heard the word "stool", he tried hard to control the urge to jump up, and waved his hands repeatedly in panic, muttering:
“No, no.”
"If you can't sit, then stand and see the patient."
Chen Yin's words instantly put Lin Yao's nervous heart at ease. Based on this sentence alone, he chose to believe in Chen Yin's medical skills.
At the same time, the other three people almost wanted to see through Lin Yao's back. What kind of disease was it that even sitting became a problem for him?
When they first observed the patient's steps as he entered the room, they thought that the patient was unable to walk.
Now it seems that this is not the case.
Then, Chen Yin officially started to see the patient, but this time, her first question was different.
"Judging from your accent, you're not from the southwest, are you?"
"No, I'm from Minzhou."
"If you don't listen carefully, you really can't tell. Your accent conversion is quite good."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Hearing the praise from the doctor, Lin Yao couldn't help laughing and was very proud of it.
"Since I was little, people have said I have a strong learning ability. However, after just one year in Yunchuan, I have mastered everything and have almost no difficulty communicating with locals."
"I wonder what your occupation is?"
"I'm working on engineering projects. Development is happening everywhere right now. I also came to Yunchuan with the company to work on the project."
"Do you like spicy food?"
Chen Yin's sudden question made Lin Yao, who was immersed in joy, unable to react in time.
He looked at Chen Yin in confusion, and when he met her sincere eyes, he realized that what he had just heard was true.
I nodded heavily immediately, "I love it. Almost whenever we have free time, those of us who work together will eat hot pot together."
After saying this, Lin Yao couldn't help swallowing and frowned slightly.
After understanding the basic situation, Chen Yin went straight to the point and asked directly:
"How advanced are your hemorrhoids? Did they fall out and can they be manually reinserted? Or are they impossible to reinserte? They're oozing pus and blood."
The topic changed rapidly again, making Lin Yao's face red.
He stammered and couldn't utter a complete sentence, but the information he revealed was: hemorrhoids were swollen and painful, with pus and blood oozing out.
He was really embarrassed to tell a little girl about this disease. It was too embarrassing.
But the tone Chen Yin used to try to bring them closer was really to his liking, so Lin Yao had no choice but to tell the truth hesitantly.
At this point, the other three people suddenly realized why Chen Yin asked the patient not to sit down and asked a bunch of seemingly unrelated questions.
Now it seems that there are traces to follow.
Wouldn't it be a problem if a person from another place eats spicy food recklessly?
Chen Yin continued with the diagnosis, instructing, "Please stick out your tongue."
"Ah∽" Lin Yao subconsciously opened his mouth, stretched his neck, bent down, and moved his head closer.
In an instant, the situation inside the mouth was clearly displayed before everyone.
In addition to the pungent smell, many ulcers grew on the inner wall of the mouth and sores on the tongue, which was extremely terrible.
The tongue is bright red with small red spots and has a thick and greasy coating.
After reading it, Chen Yin quickly reminded, "That's enough."
Lin Yao stepped back quickly in excitement, but accidentally moved his steps, which affected his body, and a distorted expression of pain suddenly appeared on his face.
Perhaps because they were both men, Qi Wenzhong and Liu Xianhua couldn't help but frown and gasp when they saw this scene.
Chen Yin could only carefully remind him, "Walk slower and place your hand on the pulse pillow."
After a long pulse diagnosis, it was confirmed that the pulse was stringy, slippery and rapid.
When Chen Yin was about to prescribe a medicine based on the patient's condition, Lin Yao asked nervously:
"Doctor Chen, does my condition require surgery to be completely cured? But I've also heard that even with surgery, the disease will recur. And if too many cuts are made, I might even have problems with my bowel movements."
"You're talking about Western medical treatments, which I don't understand. But surgical removal is indeed one of the current treatments for hemorrhoids. If you have other ideas, you can go to the general surgery department for consultation."
Lin Yao looked at Chen Yin's pen and suddenly became flustered. He quickly explained:
"Doctor Chen! Doctor Chen, that's not what I meant. I'm just curious and asking."
"So you want to get some medicine now, right?"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Immediately, Chen Yin prescribed two prescriptions for the patient, one for oral administration and the other for sitz bath. Only by taking both approaches could the patient's embarrassment be relieved as soon as possible.
While handing the prescription to the patient, she earnestly advised:
"Your illness is probably due to excessive consumption of spicy food. You must maintain a light diet to prevent recurrence. Since you are currently experiencing heat and poison invading the heart, and the five emotions are overextended and transforming into fire, I am prescribing a prescription to cleanse the intestines, detoxify, and clear the Shaoyang gallbladder fire."
"It is important to take the medicine according to the doctor's instructions and avoid overdosing, which can cause the body to suffer from cold."
"Okay, okay! Thank you, Doctor Chen."
This time, Lin Yao tried hard to suppress his body's urge to bow, and tremblingly took the prescription from Chen Yin's hand, turned around and walked out, ready to get the medicine, use it, and treat the physical pain as soon as possible.
In the clinic, watching the last patient leave, Liu Mengxi stood up excitedly and stretched quickly.
"Finally I can stand up and move around!"
"There weren't many patients needing acupuncture this morning, so it was a bit uncomfortable to sit still all the time."
Chen Yin agreed and then reminded:
"When you take a break later, consolidate the medical records of the patients you registered and enter them into the register."
"Okay! I'll check with Doctor Qi and enter it into the register."
Liu Mengxi glanced at Qi Wenzhong and immediately gave an appropriate answer.
Chen Yin looked at the two of them curiously, then quickly looked away and said to Liu Xianhua:
"Please lead the way, Doctor Liu. We want to try the food at the county hospital."
"Doctor Chen, please come this way!" Liu Xianhua suddenly felt relieved and his steps became more excited.
He was just worried about the lunch arrangements, and with Chen Yin's words, he could finally rest assured.
"Our hospital cafeteria is pretty good, especially the spicy chicken and pepper chicken made by the chef. Almost everyone praises them. I wonder if there's anything you'd like to eat, Doctor Chen? We can ask the chef to prepare a special meal for us."
As a small resident doctor, Liu Xianhua certainly didn't dare to assign such a task casually, but Chen Yin had a special status.
As early as when he was assigned to work beside Chen Yin, someone had already reminded him that he could help Chen Yin with her affairs and his treatment would be no different from that of the hospital's senior leaders.
"No, we can just eat the same as everyone else."
"Our Doctor Chen is very easy-going. As long as the food can fill his stomach, that's fine. Doctor Liu, you have to remind me what the chef's specialties are in the cafeteria later." Liu Mengxi couldn't help but joked.
"Okay! I'll serve everyone some food."
After a while, everyone arrived at the third floor of the cafeteria. Sitting there were doctors in white coats, and the atmosphere was completely different from that downstairs.
Liu Xianhua stretched his neck to look around, and seeing that there was still room not far away, he immediately suggested:
"Doctor Chen, please go sit over there first. I'll bring the food over."
"I'll go with you, quickly."
How could Qi Wenzhong just stand there and watch Dr. Liu act alone? He immediately followed him.
Liu Mengxi and Chen Yin, who were left behind, looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and looked in the direction of Liu Xianhua's finger.
It was no longer the busiest time for doctors to eat, and most of them were sitting at their seats enjoying their meals. The appearance of the four people attracted a lot of attention.
As soon as someone expressed curiosity, someone else immediately started to explain, regardless of whether they were sitting at the same table or not.
