Treat Abnormal Vaginal Discharge by Acupuncuture and Traditional Chineses Medicine (TCM)

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 me update for this case.
