Chapter 93: Lantern Needlework
Butt hurts?
bleed?
I'm afraid this is hemorrhoids.
He Daqing widened his eyes and instantly understood why his mother-in-law had been looking at him strangely in the past two days.
It turned out that I had hemorrhoids.
Yes, hemorrhoids are a disease that occurs in a special location. My mother-in-law wants me to treat her because she thinks I have great medical skills, but because of our respective identities, she doesn’t want to feel embarrassed, so she looks like she wants to say something but is too shy to do so.
As a professional doctor, I don't discriminate by gender.
But He Daqing is not a professional doctor, and he has only mastered the medical skills in less than two days.
When He Daqing thought about his mother-in-law Liu asking him to help treat hemorrhoids, many images emerged in his mind.
"Daqing, do you want to give me a few injections?"
While He Daqing was stunned, Liu's voice came from the darkness.
Obviously, in her opinion, the effect of He Daqing's acupuncture on his sister-in-law Zhang Lihua was immediate.
Zhang Lihua’s stomachache can be cured, and maybe my buttache can be cured too!
He Daqing, "..."
If he wasn't living in this era, he would seriously suspect that his mother-in-law was driving!
Oh my God, is there such a way to test cadres?
"Mom..." He Daqing said helplessly.
"You can't treat diseases randomly. Chinese medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment, and prescribing the right medicine for the right disease. I don't even know what your specific symptoms are, so how can I give you acupuncture?"
"Besides, it's pitch dark here, how can I give you an acupuncture injection?"
Hearing this, Liu also realized something, her pretty face suddenly turned red, and she stammered,
"Then what do you think we should do?"
He Daqing took a deep breath.
"First, let me feel your pulse to see where the problem is. Secondly, I have to look at the affected area to see how far it has progressed. Mom, this disease is not difficult to treat, but the prerequisite is to figure out what's going on."
"Oh."
Liu said "oh" and then there was no more movement.
The narrow kitchen fell into deathly silence.
Then, Mrs. Liu took small steps and left the kitchen in a panic.
Just when He Daqing thought that his mother-in-law was going to give up treatment, he saw Liu coming back with a lit candle and a few embroidery needles that she had used during the day in her hands.
He Daqing, "..."
I have to say that my mother-in-law is very courageous!
But it also proves from another perspective that my mother-in-law's hemorrhoids may have become serious to a certain extent, otherwise she would not have come to me.
"Show me!"
While He Daqing was in a daze, Liu had already blushed and stretched out her arm.
"Whatever you want to do, I can accept it!"
Before she finished speaking, Liu was still feeling conflicted.
But now that He Daqing knows about her hidden illness, Liu decided to just go for it.
"Row!"
He Daqing nodded with forced calmness and began to take Liu's pulse.
He first checked the Cun, Guan and Chi of the left hand. The general condition of the heart, liver and kidneys could be explored with the right hand, but after taking the pulse, He Daqing found that there was no serious problem.
However, when he checked the right hand again, he found that Liu's pulse on the right hand was obviously weaker than that on the left hand.
You know, generally speaking, a man's left hand pulse is stronger than his right hand pulse, and a woman's right hand pulse is stronger than her left hand pulse. But now, my mother-in-law's pulse is obviously different.
There is a problem.
"Daqing, how is it?"
While He Daqing was thinking, Liu's question came from the side.
"The specific situation depends on the affected area!"
He Daqing said seriously.
"Okay! You...wait a moment!"
Liu took a deep breath, put the candle on the stove, tried to comfort herself, then turned around and pulled down her pants.
He Daqing, "..."
The mother-in-law was so proactive that He Daqing was at a loss for a moment.
“Form is emptiness and emptiness is form!”
He Daqing took a deep breath, suppressed his impulse, picked up the candle, and concentrated on the diagnosis.
About ten minutes later.
He Daqing put the candle aside.
"The problem is not that serious. According to my judgment, it should be qi stagnation and blood stasis, which eventually accumulated here, so you feel pain."
In the theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine, hemorrhoids mainly include wind-damaged intestinal tract type, damp-heat type, qi stagnation and blood stasis type, spleen deficiency and qi collapse type,
My mother-in-law's symptoms are a mixture of damp heat and qi stagnation and blood stasis, which require proper treatment.
Hearing He Daqing say that it was not a big problem, Liu patted her chest and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She tossed and turned in pain every day and couldn't sleep, and she could see blood every time, so she was really scared.
It’s ok now, no problem!
"Do you need an injection?"
Liu asked tentatively without pulling up her pants.
"Of course!"
He Daqing nodded, fearing that his mother-in-law might misunderstand him, and explained briefly,
"You have had this symptom for a while, and it has become more complicated over time. The first thing we need to do is to use acupuncture to circulate the Qi and blood. As the saying goes, if the Qi and blood are flowing smoothly, there will be no pain, and if there is pain, there is blockage. The reason you feel pain is because of congestion, and acupuncture can relieve it."
"Besides that, I will prescribe two more medicines for you tomorrow. One for internal use to replenish Qi and remove dampness, and one for external use. With the combination of internal and external medicines, you will get better quickly!"
Liu didn't understand all this, but seeing that He Daqing's explanation was very logical, she felt a little relieved.
"Then you can do it!"
Liu said in a trembling voice.
It was late at night, and she and her son-in-law were in the kitchen, and her daughter Qin Huairu was waiting for her. If the time was delayed any further and she happened to be caught by her daughter, she would not be able to explain herself.
"Row!"
He Daqing took a deep breath and silently recited the Qingxin Jue in his heart again. After calming down, he took the embroidery needle that Liu had brought over, disinfected it over the candlelight, and began to give acupuncture.
It's Chinese New Year, and other families are having fun, but I finally went back to my mother-in-law's house, but encountered this. This is really...
Fortunately, He Daqing was very calm and composed. In the dark, he had no time to think about anything else. After he performed acupuncture for a while, Liu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.
Not to mention, the affected area behind my butt doesn’t seem to be as painful as before.
I am a good son-in-law!
"Daqing, you...are really good at needles!"
Liu pulled up her pants and looked at He Daqing with gratitude.
If I hadn't met such a rich son-in-law, I wouldn't know what to do.
"We are all family, why be polite!"
He Daqing placed the candle and embroidery needle in Liu's hands.
"Mom, I'll give you another injection tomorrow. For the rest of the day, you can take it internally and apply it externally. It will be healed in about a week!"
"But, you must pay attention to your diet in the future, eat less spicy and greasy food, and wash frequently..."
Before He Daqing could finish his words, Liu nodded her head like pounding garlic.
"I know, I know. Well, Daqing, today's matter..."
