Chapter 930 Auntie is not a stepmother (5)
Cao Shichu examined the old lady's condition and found that the problem was quite serious. After all, her uterus had fallen out. The best treatment, of course, was to have surgery to remove the uterus. It would be a permanent solution and quick and convenient. However, people in this era paid a lot of attention to their bodies and hair. If she told the old lady that she wanted to remove this organ from her body, the old lady would probably think she was some kind of monster.
So she could only treat her with herbal medicine, internal and external applications, and acupuncture to reduce the severity of her prolapse, but this treatment method was very slow to work.
Cao Shichu carefully explained her treatment method to the old lady, and the old lady agreed without hesitation: "It doesn't matter if it's slow. I thought it would be incurable in this lifetime and it would be like this until I died. I didn't expect you to be able to cure it. I'm not slow. As long as it can be cured, I can take my time."
Since the old lady said so, Cao Shichu began to prepare herbs and silver needles. Although she had all kinds of herbs in her companion space, she couldn't just take them out openly without leaving the house, so she put on her backpack and went up the mountain to collect herbs.
A few days later, she had found all the necessary herbs and started to give acupuncture to the old lady.
"Mrs. Shi, my stomach feels warm and comfortable." The old lady sighed as she lay on the treatment bed prepared by Cao Shichu. "I haven't felt this comfortable for a long time. Since I got this disease, I either have backaches or stomach bloating, cold hands and feet, and a cold stomach. Every winter is so hard to endure..."
While inserting the needle into her, Shi Chu said to her, "If there is something wrong with your body, you will naturally feel uncomfortable."
"Okay, this acupuncture treatment is over. I'll prescribe some medicine for you later. There are two types: oral and external. It's a three-day supply. Don't make a mistake. You have to take it on time. Come back to me after three days and I'll give you the next stage of treatment."
"Okay, okay, okay..." The old lady said "Okay" several times in a row excitedly. She took the medicine given to her by Cao Shichu as if she had received a treasure worth a thousand gold and did not dare to be careless at all.
Three days later, when the old lady came to see Cao Shichu again, she was walking as fast as the wind, her face was rosy, and the wrinkles on her face had smoothed out. She was completely different from the gloomy and listless old lady a few days ago.
"Mrs. Shi, your medicine is really miraculous!" The old lady happily held Cao Shichu's hand, and was very grateful. She lowered her voice and said, "That thing has stopped falling out, and I don't feel sore in my waist anymore. It's like I'm decades younger. I haven't felt so relaxed in a long time..."
Cao Shichu smiled at her and said, "That means the medicine I prescribed is very suitable for your condition, that's why it's so effective. Just lie down and I'll give you another acupuncture treatment."
The old lady couldn't wait to lie on the treatment bed. Cao Shichu used the silver needles so swiftly that the old lady was stunned. She couldn't help but sighed, "Madam Shi, your acupuncture skills are really amazing. You are so young and your medical skills are so good. Are you better than those imperial doctors in the palace?"
Cao Shichu paused, and then she remembered that she was an ordinary widow who had to leave her hometown because of oppression from her husband's clansmen. Although she had said in advance that she had learned the medical skills of delivering babies and treating women's diseases from her "mother-in-law", it was unusual no matter how she looked at it to have learned to this extent.
Cao Shichu quickly added: "My mother-in-law's ancestor was a palace physician who specialized in treating the empresses in the palace. She was expelled from the palace because she committed a crime. My mother-in-law inherited her ancestor's true skills and was a famous female physician and midwife in the surrounding villages. She had no daughter, so she wanted to pass on this skill to me. Fortunately, I have some talent and learned some medical skills from my mother-in-law..."
"So that's how it is! I said Madam Shi's medical skills are so good, she must have an extraordinary background." The old lady praised, not doubting Cao Shichu's words at all.
After a while, the acupuncture was over, and Cao Shichu prescribed her some more medicine. The old lady was about to go out with the medicine when she suddenly remembered something. She leaned close to Cao Shichu's ear and whispered mysteriously, "I have been in a lot of spirits recently. Several women asked me if I had any good news, so I told them. They also have my problem to some extent. I guess they will come to you for treatment in the next few days. You need to prepare more herbs."
"Okay, I will prepare more. Thank you, Auntie, for introducing the patient to me." Cao Shichu said with a smile.
The old lady waved her hand and said, "Don't be polite. Only women know how torturous these women's diseases are. Since you have this medical skill, you certainly can't waste it."
After seeing the old lady off, Cao Shichu entered her own space and took out all the herbs she would need in advance. She used to go up the mountain to collect herbs from time to time, and no one knew how much she had collected. It would not be conspicuous to take them out from the space now, so she didn't have to worry too much.
Sure enough, two or three days later, several more women came to see Cao Shichu for medical treatment. They all had gynecological diseases, including uterine prolapse, pelvic floor muscle relaxation and urinary incontinence, pelvic inflammatory disease, and urinary tract infection...
There was even one who got gonorrhea. When Aunt Zhou, who had gonorrhea, heard Cao Shichu tell her what disease she had, she immediately collapsed and collapsed to the ground and burst into tears, cursing as she cried: "Damn Liu Daquan! He went around fooling around and brought dirty diseases back from outside and infected me... What sin did I commit to deserve marrying a damn bastard like you..."
Liu Daquan is Aunt Zhou's husband. He was very dishonest when he was young. He either flirted with widows or had girlfriends outside. He contracted sexually transmitted diseases and passed them on to Aunt Zhou.
Cao Shichu saw that Aunt Zhou's illness had been delayed for a long time, and it was obvious that she had been suffering for quite some time. However, the disease was in such a difficult place to talk about, and she was terrified and unable to speak, so she could only suffer and endure. If it weren't for Cao Shichu, she would have said she would not wait and would have endured until death. This time, when she learned that this was an internal disease passed on to her by her husband, she could not accept it.
"Auntie, don't worry. Your disease can still be cured. It's just that it has been delayed for too long, so it's a little difficult to treat." Cao Shichu comforted her.
Aunt Zhou cried and cursed for a long time. After venting her emotions, she finally calmed down and immediately regarded Cao Shichu as a life-saving straw: "Can my disease really be cured?"
"Yes." Cao Shichu answered firmly, "But your husband also needs treatment, unless you never sleep with him again in your life."
"Bah! I will never share a bed with him in my life! I'm already old...that bastard..." Aunt Zhou blushed and cursed again.
Cao Shichu began to prescribe medicine for her, and reminded her: "Tell him to find a male doctor. I don't treat this disease for men."
"I understand, I don't care which doctor he goes to." Aunt Zhou sneered.
