章 13: Chapter 13 Can You Really Cure My Illness?
Shortly, Shao He withdrew her wrist and looked up at the woman.
The woman similarly sized up Shao He, a face unremarkable, but her eyes were very clear and bright, like the pure, flowing spring waters in the mountains.
The woman slightly parted her lips, "I heard that you are skilled in treating complex and varied diseases?"
"I know a bit, have your periods ever come?" Shao He had noticed that her body was rather weak during the pulse diagnosis, likely due to taking a large amount of medication to replenish her qi and blood.
The woman pursed her lips and remained silent, seemingly contemplating. This matter was somewhat difficult for her to speak about.
Shao He looked up, unable to see the woman's face under the cloak, and spoke to counsel her, "You should understand the principle of not concealing an illness from the doctor. If you don't even wish to speak about your symptoms, how can I treat you?"
"Miss, I think this Female Doctor is very skilled. Just speak up," urged the young maid behind her.
Seeing the person who remained silent, just as the young maid was about to continue persuading, she heard her mistress say, "I...I have never had a period, never had one."
"So, you must have taken a lot of medicine?" Shao He asked with a frown.
"Yes." The woman nodded.
"Then, do you know why your body is becoming weaker and weaker?"
"Taking too many medications..." The woman recalled those several doses of bitter herbal medicine and slightly curled her lips with a bitter expression.
Shao He pondered momentarily before speaking again, "Observing your pulse, I discovered that your liver and spleen are severely damaged. You need gradual recuperation and must avoid taking an excessive amount of tonic medications."
Upon hearing this, the woman showed a surprised expression, "Then, this illness of mine..."
"The reason for your missed periods could be congenital amenorrhea, severe closure of the hymen, uterine malformation, congenital absence of a uterus, among others. The specific cause can only be determined through further examination."
"Further examination?"
The woman felt both surprised and apprehensive, unsure how to proceed with further examinations, especially since she didn't understand any of the terms the Female Doctor mentioned.
Shao He nodded with a smile, "It requires you to take off your trousers for the examination. If you trust me, I will do my best to diagnose and treat you."
"What!" The woman stood up abruptly, looking shockingly at the calm person opposite her.
"If you don't take off your trousers for the examination, I cannot determine what exactly is causing your missed periods, and I won't know how to treat you."
Although the young maid also found it somewhat inappropriate, thinking of the long-standing grievances her mistress had suffered, she tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Miss, this is our only hope. Perhaps she can truly cure your condition."
After hesitating for a moment, the woman lightly bit her lip and finally nodded, taking a deep breath as if gathering courage, "Doctor, please treat me!"
"Rest assured, Miss, I will do my utmost!"
After Shao He finished speaking, she stood up and had the woman lie on the bed. She sent the maid to wait outside, not wanting her ability to seemingly conjure items out of thin air to be known yet.
Shao He reached out her hand again, and the item she was thinking about instantly appeared in her palm, swiftly completing the examination for the woman, ultimately confirming the closure of the hymen.
She took off her gloves, and the item in her hand instantly disappeared.
"You have a hymenal closure. Surgery is required, which might be somewhat painful. I need to ask for your opinion."
This type of surgery was quite complex, and for conservative societies of ancient times, undergoing such surgery might be hard to accept, but the patient had the right to know the entire procedure, and she couldn't conceal it.
"Can you truly cure my illness?"
