Chapter 411 Amenorrhea (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)
"What else can I say? I just want a son to take care of me in my old age and to carry on the family line."
"What's the use of a young girl if she'll still get married in the end?"
Li San Niang's face darkened. She knew she couldn't explain things to the tall man, and besides, there was really no way to explain their surrogacy practice.
Li San Niang then gestured for Tao Hua to enter the inner room. Li San Niang herself had an advantage, as she was a young man.
Li San Niang breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, it was a young man.
If it were a young girl, she might survive, but she wouldn't necessarily have a good life. She might not even survive and would drown.
"Boys and girls are your children, why worry about this?"
Whether it's a man or a woman, if you teach them well from a young age, how could they not be filial to you in the future?
Besides, in my opinion, it would be best if it were a young girl!
The tall man looked at Li San Niang as if she were a fool, thinking to himself, "Could this female doctor be saying that it's better to give birth to a little girl because she's a woman herself?"
Li Sanniang looked at the tall man and said, "Think about it, if it's a little girl, when she grows up, you can find a man to marry into your family. If she has a grandson, he will take your surname, so he will still be your bloodline, right?"
Moreover, the man you bring in will be your family's labor force, and your life will definitely get better and better.
But if it's a young man, you'll have to save up for the bride price.
"If I end up like you, unable to afford a wife, where will I find someone to carry on the family line and support you in your old age?"
Li San Niang's words really left the tall man speechless.
The tall man kept thinking about what Li San Niang had said about finding a husband for his youngest daughter to marry into the family. The more he thought about it, the more reliable and feasible it seemed!
Peach Blossom and the short man suddenly remembered their two sons and realized that Li San Niang's words made sense.
Peach Blossom looked down at her bulging belly and thought for the first time, "If this were a little girl, it would be really nice."
"Then, female doctor, is the baby in Peach Blossom's belly a boy or a girl?"
"The pregnancy is still very early, so it can't be diagnosed yet."
You'll know when you're older.
Stop worrying about the gender; the most important thing is to give birth to a healthy child first.
With such a big belly, you shouldn't do any heavy work that requires bending over. It would be best to eat an egg a day to nourish yourself so that the baby can grow well.
I won't prescribe any medicine; just take care of yourself.
After seeing the man off, Li Sanniang couldn't help but sigh in her heart. People's love for their sons truly transcends time and space, and their passion for them is indelible.
Just as Li San Niang was about to complain to Qiu Xiang about her insistence on having a son, she suddenly felt a shadow blocking her view.
When she looked up, she saw a person who was almost half a head taller than Li San Niang (about 170cm) blocking the consultation table.
Wang Juhua grinned at Li Sanniang's gaze, and then a series of complaints rang in Li Sanniang's ears.
"Laugh, laugh, laugh, all you do is laugh! Did I come here to make you laugh?!"
"I paid a penny to bring you here for medical treatment!"
Wang Juhua stepped aside, and only then did Li San Niang see the tall, strong old woman behind Wang Juhua, whose hair was neatly combed. With each word the old woman uttered, she belittled Wang Juhua to the dust.
Granny Wang looked at her daughter with utter disdain, but when she turned to face Li San Niang's questioning gaze, she smiled with a hint of flattery, "Female doctor, I've come to examine the child."
I had long heard of the female doctor in Yongpingfang's miraculous healing skills, especially for treating women's illnesses.
Granny Wang turned to Wang Juhua and scolded, "Sit down! Let the female doctor examine you!"
"Female doctor, my daughter-in-law," Granny Wang sat down first, leaned closer to Li San Niang and whispered, "My daughter-in-law hasn't had her period in a long time, can you take a look and see if she can still have children?"
Even if Granny Wang spoke softly, the few people around her could still hear her clearly.
Although Wang Juhua's dark face didn't show any blushing, her expression still revealed that she was very embarrassed.
"Oh? How so?"
"Female doctor, this child has been able to eat and sleep well since he was a baby, even more than the young master, and he also has some strength."
This wasn't a job I got in the septic department of the camp, where I was specifically there to take care of people, do things like brewing medicine, and move things around.
I only just heard about the female doctor's reputation from Chef Wang, so I thought I'd bring my child to have her checked out."
"But you don't have your period?"
"Yes, yes, yes, not only does he not get his period, but he's also getting bigger and stronger, like a young man."
If this were a boy, I'd be laughing all the way to the bank.
But Chrysanthemum is a woman!
"I'm so worried! What if she can't have children? Where will she find someone to take her in?"
Li San Niang beckoned Wang Juhua to extend her hand, first taking her pulse, and then asked, "How old are you now? When did you have your first period?"
Did you come back again after that?
When was your last period?
Do you experience lower abdominal distension or pain?
Because Granny Wang spoke so freely and didn't care about Wang Juhua's privacy, Li San Niang noticed that Wang Juhua was now very reserved, looking shy and scared, and didn't dare to lift her head.
Two sharp slaps landed on Wang Juhua's back, accompanied by Wang Pozi's scathing curses: "You clueless child! Didn't you hear the female doctor asking you a question!"
Say something!
"I paid a penny to bring you to see a doctor, and you're still putting on airs here!"
"Alright, alright, why are you scolding the child?"
"Chrysanthemum can go into the inner room and speak only to me; no one outside will know. This also gives me a chance to perform some palpation."
Qiu Xiang opened the door directly. Li San Niang looked at Wang Juhua encouragingly, and Wang Juhua got up and went in. Wang Pozi wanted to follow, but Qiu Xiang stopped her at the door.
"There's not enough space inside for so many people to stand. Grandma, please wait outside."
Granny Wang still felt sorry for Wang Juhua. Seeing that she had sat down on the bed inside, Li San Niang stood there and smiled slightly at Granny Wang's eager eyes before pulling the curtain up.
Old Mrs. Wang muttered to herself, "I'm your own mother, we're all mothers, what's there to be afraid of? Are you so precious that you even have to draw the curtain?"
Inside the room, Wang Juhua, facing Li Sanniang's soft-spoken questions and Qiu Xiang standing by as a backdrop, felt her tension ease slightly. She swallowed and carefully answered Li Sanniang's questions.
"I'm fourteen this year, and I haven't had my period for about half a year since I last had it last time."
It doesn't hurt, just a tingling, numb feeling, which I can tolerate.
Li San Niang then inquired in detail about Wang Juhua's menstrual cycle. Combining this with the pulse reading she had just received, she began to form some ideas.
"Come on, lie down and lift up your clothes so I can do a physical examination."
Although Wang Juhua felt embarrassed, Li Sanniang was a petite female doctor who spoke gently and kindly. Thinking that her mother was just outside the curtain, she lowered her guard and lifted her clothes.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li San Niang focused on examining the condition of her ovaries and uterus. Sure enough, there were more than a dozen sizable follicles in her ovaries.
Based on Wang Juhua's account, Li Sanniang said to the mother and daughter who were now sitting on the opposite stool, "She has amenorrhea, that is, she doesn't have her period, and she doesn't ovulate here."
It's not a big problem, you just need to keep taking your medication.
