Sweat - Abnormal
Vaginal Discharge Problem
Hi Kejian, how are you? I was wondering if you could give
me some advices on this case:
A 30-year-old female with complains of excessive sweating
(mostly feet and underarms) for 10 years. No strong odor
to the sweat. It is worst during the day, and mostly stops
between about 8pm - 8am. She also tends toward anxiety,
has a high-stress job, hair loss (also for 10 years),
constant runny nose, lots of vaginal discharge that is
usually odorless, history of frequent / irregular uterine
bleeding (now on the medication), 2-3 bowel movements
per day that are slightly loose with a little undigested
food, pale complexion with rosacea, slightly breathy voice,
tongue is pale purple with a thin white coat and lots
of small center cracks, pulse is deep, thin, and a little
wiry on the left. Since the started treatment, she is
having 1-2 bowel movements per day, less undigested food
in stools, slightly less discharge, and the tongue has
been looking better.

Your description suggests that this patient suffers from
spontaneous sweating, caused by Heart and Kidney Yang Qi
vacuity indicated by the location and time of sweating,
especially the large amount of odorless vaginal discharge.
Many patients have not recognized that abnormality of vaginal
discharge is a disease that commonly appears. It could be
the original source of other clinical symptoms causing them
to seek doctors. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that
it is the Kidney and Heart Yang Qi deficiency that resulted
in their inability of stabilizing their body fluids, since
sweat fluid is controlled by Heart Yang Qi, and vaginal
discharge is controlled by Kidney Yang Qi. Therefore, in
additional to Acupuncture, I suggest you using modified
Nei Bu Wan to warm up the Yang, nourish the Kidney, and
stabilize and eventually stop the deficiency.
We can discuss the fomula in more details if needed.
Good luck and keep my update for this case.
Kejian
