"Seeing red means bleeding, you understand?"
Su Zhengnan looked at the female counselor speechlessly, sighed, and said, "I'm asking you when she started bleeding, and how much time has passed now."
"This...this...I don't know! I just got here a short while ago!"
Counselor Chen panicked. She had no idea exactly when the student started bleeding, so how was she supposed to answer that question?
At this moment, a girl standing nearby suddenly interrupted, "I know, I know, Zhang Meili started bleeding three hours ago. We thought she was going to miscarry. We originally wanted to call 120, but Zhang Meili wouldn't let us."
"What? Three hours have already passed?"
Su Zhengnan's expression froze, and he knew how bad the situation was.
If there are no contractions during a three-hour dystocia period, it's considered within the normal range.
However, the female student is currently experiencing very strong contractions, indicating that the baby is very uncomfortable inside her, which is causing the mother to experience painful contractions.
Thinking of this, Su Zhengnan turned to Zhou Zixuan and asked again, "How many fingers have you dilated?"
Zhou Zixuan glanced at it: "It's still five fingers, there's no change at all."
After glancing at the heavy bleeding below the woman's abdomen and considering her pulse, Su Zhengnan said to Zhou Zixuan, "Go back to the school clinic immediately to prepare the medicine. The prescription is: Inula japonica 15g, prepared licorice root 20g, oyster shell 15g, Polygonatum odoratum 30g, Aster tataricus 16g, Platycodon grandiflorus 20g, Rehmannia glutinosa juice 19g, ginger juice 5g..."
"Huh? This... this is the prescription already?"
Zhou Zixuan was stunned for a moment, seemingly unable to react!
The main problem was that Su Zhengnan spoke too fast, and she couldn't remember all the names of the medicines he mentioned because they were just too long.
"Forget it, I'll go. With your small feet, you won't be fast."
Su Zhengnan sighed helplessly, then turned and ran towards the school clinic, not caring about anything else.
Soon, Su Zhengnan returned to the school clinic.
Immediately afterwards, Su Zhengnan quickly grabbed the medicine and started decocting it, but even though he used the fastest time possible, it still took him nearly twenty minutes to decoct the medicine.
When Su Zhengnan returned to the girls' dormitory with the prepared medicine...
About half an hour later, another half hour had passed.
Su Zhengnan quickly had Zhou Zixuan feed the new mother the Chinese medicine, and then took her pulse for a follow-up examination.
Counselor Chen, standing nearby, asked with a worried expression, "Why hasn't the ambulance arrived yet? Did you guys forget to call 120?"
"Yes, teacher, we've already called 120."
A female classmate quickly replied, "It's just... it's just that when we were on the phone earlier, Zhang Meili grabbed the phone and hung up before I could even say the address!"
"What? You didn't give the address when you called 120?"
Counselor Chen was speechless: "So you mean you called 120, but it was practically the same as not calling at all?"
Zhou Zixuan: "???"
Hearing their commotion, the dormitory supervisor quickly took out her phone and said, "Alright, you lot, stop arguing. I'll make another call!"
As she spoke, the dormitory supervisor dialed 120 again.
Seeing that these women hadn't made any calls yet, Su Zhengnan finally understood why he hadn't heard the siren of an ambulance.
However, he didn't have time to deal with these things right now. He needed to help the student with the emergency treatment of the fetus in her womb first, otherwise, it would be a tragedy for both mother and child.
After all, the mother is still bleeding heavily!
After taking Zhang Meili's pulse again, Su Zhengnan asked Zhou Zixuan, "How many centimeters dilated is your cervix now?"
Zhou Zixuan looked down and said, "It's still five fingers, there's no change."
"Okay, I understand."
Su Zhengnan nodded and said, "I'm going to correct the baby's position now so that it can return to the uterus. Keep an eye on the baby's changes and remind me if anything seems amiss."
"What? Doctor Su, you're going to send the child back to the palace? This... how is that possible?"
Zhou Zixuan's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Nothing is impossible. You know too little about the medical skills of our ancestors. Many things that seem impossible to you were actually accomplished by our ancestors a long time ago."
As he spoke, Su Zhengnan walked up to the woman in labor, gently placed his hands on her stomach, and began to slowly apply pressure.
This is the "pushing uterus technique" in Traditional Chinese Medicine!
The technique of "pushing the uterus" belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine gynecology, and Su Zhengnan had already learned it after improving his skills in traditional Chinese medicine gynecology.
In fact, the uterine manipulation technique has a wide range of applications, not only for correcting the position of the fetus, but also for treating many cases of uterine coldness, etc.
Unfortunately, many people have forgotten the traditional Chinese medicine technique of uterine massage!
Although some hospital gynecologists may perform uterine evacuation, most people still prefer cesarean section rather than using uterine evacuation to assist with vaginal delivery.
Su Zhengnan gently placed his hands on Zhang Meili's belly, controlling the force in his hands to push upwards without harming the fetus, trying his best to get the baby, which had reached the cervix, back into the uterus.
Even though his hands were separated by a layer of skin, Su Zhengnan's current tactile ability meant that even a light touch on the mother's belly was enough to sense the baby's every movement.
As the saying goes, hands are eyes!
Although Zhang Meili's pregnancy was not full term, the fetus in her womb seemed to be very tenacious, constantly kicking and moving around inside her.
Feeling the force from his palm, Su Zhengnan could only push upwards more gently, moving the fetus in Zhang Meili's belly upwards little by little.
In fact, midwives in the past also used the technique of pushing the uterus!
Many cases of malpositioned fetuses can be corrected using uterine manipulation, thus facilitating a smooth delivery for the mother.
This technique isn't actually very complicated; it just requires a lot of patience.
As Su Zhengnan's hands supported the fetus and pushed it into the uterus, he also had to ensure that the placenta inside the mother's uterus was not squeezed, otherwise it might cause the mother's amniotic fluid to be depleted.
This is a task that requires a great deal of skill in controlling the pressure applied.
Su Zhengnan still had countless obstetric and gynecological experiences in his mind, so this uterine manipulation technique was no challenge for him.
