Although Liu Fang was somewhat reluctant, she still did as she was told.
As soon as Tian Cai touched Liu Fang's wrist, he found something wrong. It was already spring, but this person's wrist was still a little cold, and her fingertips were even colder.
After she took the patient's pulse, she suddenly realized that the situation had been basically determined.
But Tian Cai still asked, "Are your menstrual periods regular?"
This question made Liu Fang blush slightly. Since the room was full of women, she had nothing to hide. So she whispered, "It's not very regular. It's always delayed for a while, sometimes a week, sometimes ten days or half a month."
Tian Cai nodded. "How much is it? How's the color?"
Liu Fang felt even more embarrassed. "Very little. It was quite a lot on the first day, but it was completely gone after two or three days. I couldn't tell the color. Aren't they all red?"
Tian Cai knew that she didn't understand, so he explained to her what different colors of menstrual blood there were. Liu Fang still didn't know and had never paid attention to it.
She understood it after a moment's thought. At that time, women all used menstrual belts, many of which were made of discarded old cloths in a variety of colors, and some were even spliced together. Dark colors were everywhere, and it was impossible to tell whether the menstrual color was dark or light.
These all indirectly confirmed her diagnosis. Just by taking her pulse, Tian Cai had basically determined the crux of the problem.
It’s just that the information she provided was slightly different from that provided by Wu Danniu.
Tian Cai didn't know whether this person had seen anyone before, but any old Chinese doctor should be able to see her condition. She and Hong Siqing had encountered a similar case in a remote village when they went to the countryside before. The main reason was that the patient's yin and yang were out of balance, and she had kidney deficiency, both kidney yang deficiency and kidney yin deficiency. But in fact, there were deeper reasons.
Kidney deficiency is also accompanied by uterine coldness. Liu Fang's uterine coldness has little to do with catching a cold during her teenage years. It cannot be said that there is no connection at all, but it is definitely not the main reason. The main reason for her uterine coldness is that she had experienced miscarriage.
Tian Cai didn't ask directly. Not only were they the sister-in-law here, but there was also an outsider, Li Guangxia. Besides, Wu Danniu might not know whether Liu Fang had had a miscarriage or not.
As soon as she came in, she said that Liu Fang had been married for six years and still hadn't gotten pregnant. Tian Cai wasn't sure if she knew the truth, but because Li Guangxia was there, she couldn't tell the truth. She still felt that a young doctor like her couldn't figure it out, or maybe she really didn't know.
Moreover, Liu Fang must have had poor sleep for a long time or stayed up late, which damages the liver. Such people are prone to insufficient yang energy, thick and greasy tongue coating, and dark and yellow complexion. If they do not take good rest, it will be detrimental to their lifespan.
So she said nonchalantly, "You have some minor health problems. You have kidney deficiency and a cold uterus. It's really not easy to get pregnant now. If you want a child, you need a course of acupuncture. During this period, you must also drink herbal soup and rest well to recuperate your body. After that, if your husband is also fine, you will get pregnant soon."
When Wu Daniu heard this, she was overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much, Doctor Tian. Please prescribe some medicine for us. We will definitely take it well!"
A hint of hesitation crossed Liu Fang's face. She tugged at Wu Danniu's collar and whispered, "Sister-in-law, I have to go home. I have a lot of work to do at home. I can't come here for acupuncture every day."
Upon hearing this, Wu Danniu's face immediately darkened and she scolded him, "The Cui family wants to have an heir, so you have to take good care of yourself. Listen to your sister-in-law and stay at home for the time being. Sleep in your old room and share the same kang with Yingzi. We'll go back when we're well, so your mother-in-law won't complain anymore."
What do you mean by marrying a hen that doesn't lay eggs?
Wu Danniu didn't say the rest of the words, but that was her meaning. She had disliked the old woman for a long time, but Liu Fang's marriage was arranged by her mother-in-law before she died. She insisted that she would not die in peace until she saw her mother-in-law get married. Wu Danniu looked down on the boy from the Cui family. He looked fierce and didn't look like a good person. Liu Fang had such a soft personality, and she didn't know how much she would suffer if she married him.
But she was the only one in the family who opposed it. Even her husband stood on the side of his mother-in-law. There was no other way, so Liu Fang got married in a hurry.
After Wu Danniu finished speaking, the worry on Liu Fang's face became even more serious. Tian Cai saw this and comforted her, "It won't take long, probably about ten days, but you have to rest well after that, especially go to bed early at night, try to go to bed before ten o'clock."
Liu Fang looked embarrassed, moved her lips but ultimately said nothing.
"Xiao Tian, why do we have to pay attention to the time for sleeping?" Li Guangxia listened from the side and thought what Tian Cai said was very interesting.
Tian Cai nodded. "Staying up late regularly can cause liver problems, fatigue, and even endocrine disorders. 11 PM to 1 AM is the Zi hour, the time when the gallbladder meridian is in season. This means the gallbladder meridian is most active during this time. Medical texts say, 'All eleven organs depend on the gallbladder.' The normal functioning of the human body's internal organs depends on the growth of gallbladder qi. Only when gallbladder qi is generated can qi and blood flow smoothly throughout the body. Only when we sleep can our gallbladder qi slowly build up, so we must sleep during the Zi hour."
Although Wu Danniu and Liu Fang didn't understand, they felt that what Tian Cai said made sense.
Liu Fang thought about how she had to sleep almost every day in the early morning or late at night in recent years, and her physical discomfort had started a few years ago, and then it became more and more serious. Now she often felt dazed during the day and could fall asleep while standing.
But when she thought about how the cloth she wove late into the night could be exchanged for money and food, which would make her husband and mother-in-law look up to her, and thought about Cui Wenchang's encouraging eyes, Liu Fang felt that she could continue working.
But she was not completely stupid. She knew that staying up late like this was bad for her health, and Dr. Tian could prescribe medicine and acupuncture to regulate her body. Once she recovered, she could go back to work at night.
Not to mention Tian Cai, even Wu Danniu didn't know that Liu Fang was thinking this way. Seeing that she was a little reluctant at first, she finally agreed reluctantly.
So Tian Cai gave her the first acupuncture treatment.
Wu Danniu and Li Guangxia went out and waited very consciously. After Tian Cai and others took off their clothes, they found that there were several bruises on her body, all on her elbows and back, which looked like resistance injuries.
Her heart skipped a beat. Could this be another Yang Weihong?
So he hesitated and said, "Your body——"
Liu Fang looked down at her elbow, then touched her back a few times with her hand. She said a little awkwardly, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself. I was disobedient that day. This is what my man left behind when he was teaching me a lesson."
What Tian Cai found strange was her expression, which was very natural and calm. She didn't feel anything was wrong at all, but instead spoke in a matter-of-fact tone.
Tian Cai suddenly couldn't figure it out.
