Another person chid in, "If their views were correct, they should completely stop eating pork. Lard is refined from pork, so eating pork ans ingesting lard. So, you see, a thousand-mile dike can collapse due to an anthill; don't underestimate these small details."
Du Heng fully agreed with this statent.
Yet, it was this simple truth that many ordinary people still believed, even regarding it as gospel, which was both laughable and sad.
Du Heng sighed and then said slowly, "Let tell you another thing. There was a ti when they heavily promoted the Western female lifestyle, encouraging our won to adopt those Western standards. This ant that during their nstrual periods, won should not have dietary restrictions or worry about raw and cold food. After giving birth, they should also be like Western won and abandon the tradition of the confinent period. They claid the confinent period was a feudal remnant, a shackle on won that should be discarded.
"It's ridiculous that many of our self-proclaid modern won actually believed this. But they didn't consider that the lifestyle of those Western won would cause them to start aging at thirty, while our won can maintain their youth until fifty. They were blind to this, choosing temporary gratification. It was truly baffling."
Perhaps Wu Buwei sensed the awkward atmosphere and suddenly chuckled, "They're all just little darlings, Senior Brother. How can you talk about them like that?"
Du Heng glanced at Wu Buwei speechlessly and muttered, "Get lost."
Then, the elder doctor spoke up, "Before I joined the Chinese dicine Departnt, I worked in the Gynecology Departnt. Based on my work experience and reviewing disease records, gynecological diseases, compared to twenty years ago, are now appearing in younger patients and present with more variety. The incidence of gynecological tumors is also increasing. Dean, do you think this is related to the lifestyle changes you just ntioned?"
This was the first ti Du Heng had heard such a well-thought-out and insightful question in his own hospital. It showed that there were still so ambitious people among his staff.
However, this question made Du Heng pause in thought for a mont.
After so consideration, Du Heng said, "Regarding gynecological tumors, I've obtained a lot of materials from Professor Lan Changhua of the Capital Good Friend Hospital. I also got more data through Director i's connections at the Provincial Won and Children's Hospital. Combining these with our hospital's dical records, I've found that it's not just common gynecological diseases showing this trend; gynecological tumors are also increasingly affecting younger individuals."
He paused briefly, reorganized his thoughts, and then continued, "In traditional Chinese dicine, there's a saying: 'Smooth circulation of qi and blood eliminates all diseases.' Won generally have a constitution that tends toward cold. Cold leads to stagnation, stagnation leads to obstruction, and obstruction leads to pain. This is the cause of dysnorrhea in most won.
"Nowadays, many young won don't avoid raw and cold food and prefer revealing clothing, especially midriff outfits, which further aggravates the cold in their bodies. Influenced by Western dicine, they are also gradually neglecting the proper care during their nstrual periods, focusing only on hygiene. But in the theory of our traditional Chinese dicine, a woman's nstrual period is not just a physiological phenonon; it's also a process of eliminating 'waste residues' from the body."
"Waste residues?"
Hearing this term, the audience reacted variously: so were puzzled, so looked dazed, and others fell deep in thought. All of them stared intently at Du Heng.
Du Heng cleared his throat and continued, "The body's functions involve transformation into essence, qi, and spirit. This transformation cannot be one hundred percent efficient, so waste residues are inevitably produced. To expel these residues, they must be discharged from yang to yin. For won, the chest is yang and the lower body is yin. Expelling these residues downwards in a cycle allows the body to maintain a perpetual state of health.
"However, because won now often have excessively cold constitutions and poor circulation of qi and blood, almost all suffer from issues like irregular nstrual flow and dysnorrhea. If left unaddressed for a long ti, the accumulation of waste residues will cause lesions in their bodies. Diseases such as breast nodules and cervical myomas are becoming more prevalent and are affecting younger patients."
Those present were all experienced senior doctors, the pillars of their respective hospitals, with only Wu Buwei being slightly less seasoned. However, Du Heng had ensured Wu Buwei had a solid foundation, and his overall approach to traditional Chinese dicine treatnt had already been cultivated. So, when Du Heng finished speaking, the entire group fell into deep thought.
Although many of them, perhaps even all, would not specialize in gynecological treatnt in the future, the advantage of traditional Chinese dicine lies in adult dicine, in its holistic nature. Therefore, Du Heng's words were still very helpful to them.
Wu Buwei was the quickest to react. After digesting Du Heng's words, he frowned and asked, "Dean, then why do n also get breast nodules nowadays?"
"That's an excellent question," Du Heng replied. "The reason is that just as won have physiological cycles, n do too. It's just that the won's cycle moves from top to bottom, while the n's moves from bottom to top."
Wu Buwei looked a bit confused. "That doesn't seem right. Won have their nstrual period every month, but n don't."
Du Heng chuckled, looking at Wu Buwei. "And who told you n don't?"
"They do?" Wu Buwei was completely dumbfounded.
