VAGINAL DISCHARGE

Vaginal discharge, or leukorrhea, generally presents with pathogenic Internal dampness according to TCM. The dampness and drainage can present differently depending on the bodily imbalances that present in each individual. Spleen Qi deficiency, because the Spleen energetic organ system of TCM is in charge of utilizing fluids correctly in the body, spleen deficiency is the most common pattern of imbalance with leukorrhea.

The Western medical indication for vaginal infection is the presence of mucus and discharge that are sometimes bloody. The causes of the infection are many, starting with germ and bacteria
The usage of harsh chemicals for a vaginal wash, long time tampon insertion, low hygiene, sexually transmitted diseases and more, maybe some of the causes for a vaginal infection
.
The Chinese Medicine views these symptoms as the manifestation of the physical and emotional state of the woman. Therefore the first task that the Chinese physician is facing will be to identify the root of the problem, which caused that infection
.
Weakness and deficiency of the digestive system -The symptoms
Continuous vaginal discharge, odorless and thick, white or yellow color, sallow complexion, tiredness and frequent bowl movement, the extremities are cold and edematous, the tongue is pale with a thick coating, the pulse is weak. The treatment with antibiotics for this kind of a problem will cause further damage and will not cure it
.
Accumulation of fluids and heat (damp-heat)- The symptoms
Plenty of thick vaginal discharge, yellow or whitish in color, strong odor, rash and itchiness on the labia and in the vagina, painful frequent urination (at times with a strong burning feeling), stuffed chest, oily taste in the mouth and pain in the lower abdomen, tongue coating is yellow, thick and greasy and the pulse slippery and fast

The symptoms get worse close to menstruation, conception or delivery. Gynecological tests will find redness and swelling with blood spots and foamy discharge. Lab tests will discover Trichomonas. The aim of the Chinese treatment is to drain heat, eliminate parasites and stop itching.

STEAMING AFTER CHILDBIRTH

Most common reasons and times to vaginal steam. In that 6-week time period the mom does not receive any medical assistance with recovery. During this time her body is tasked with closing the vaginal canal and cervix. Her uterus is to clear out all of the leftover lochia (pregnancy matter) and reduce down to its normal size, her abdominal organs return into place allowing her elimination functions (urine and bowel movements) to normalize. Delivery tears and stitches

(if any) will heal with steam.

POSTPARTUM

Postpartum steaming has also shown to resolve complications such as hemorrhoids, postpartum contractions, infections, painful stitches, constipation, urinary incontinence, prolapse, extended lochia and water retention. "In the sub-acute postpartum period, 87% to 94% of women report at least one health problem. Long-term health problems (persisting after the delayed postpartum period) are reported by 31% of women.”

INFECTIONS
