I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 206 Abnormal weight loss

What makes Jin Ji really embarrassed is that there are so many people here.

Not only Murphy and Stephanie, but also Zhou Qiao and Park Xiuzhu, even Elena and Ava also came to care about her.

After a while, Rachel and Vivica were free and came up to check on his condition.

Of all the women, she was probably the only one whose menstrual blood came out of the upper mouth.It’s too embarrassing!
However, everyone did not laugh at her, but comforted her again and again.

Elena also bought a bouquet of flowers for her and placed them in the ward to relieve her anxiety.

Pneumothorax, as the name suggests, means air has escaped into the chest.

The normal chest is a closed pleural cavity, in which the lungs inflate and deflate normally as the human body breathes. Sometimes due to other factors, such as rupture of the lung or external trauma or blunt trauma. , sharp metal punctured the chest cavity, causing the lung to rupture, causing the gas that is normally exchanged in the lungs to escape into the chest cavity.

Menstrual pneumothorax is a type of pneumothorax that occurs along with menstruation.This situation is indeed relatively rare.

When menstrual pneumothorax occurs, the patient's respiratory symptoms usually appear 24 to 48 hours after menstruation.

Most female patients first develop it around the age of 30.

It's really rare for someone like Jin Ji Zhen, who is only in her early twenties, to have this kind of situation.

Most pneumothorax occurs on the right side, but left-sided and bilateral pneumothorax have also been reported.Without therapeutic intervention, menstrual pneumothorax will recur frequently, that is, every month.The severity of clinical symptoms is related to the amount of pneumothorax.

After the pneumothorax was relieved, Zhou Qiao helped Jin Jizhen arrange a test for the carbohydrate antigen CA-125 tumor marker.

When the test results came out, the indicators were significantly elevated and exceeded the standard range.

This indicator is generally used to detect ovarian tumors, but Jin Jizhen's CT examination did not detect ovarian diseases, so Zhou Qiao finally diagnosed her with "endometriosis."

Jin Ji really covered her face.

There was no doubt that the blood she coughed up was indeed menstrual blood!

With endometriosis, the "big aunt" just runs around.But what came out of his mouth was that not only Zhou Qiao, but also Rachel and Vivica, who had worked the longest in the clinic, had never seen such a "naughty" person.

This disease, if operated on, is usually divided into semi-curable and radical.

Semi-radical treatment is to preserve ovarian function, and is suitable for younger patients who have no desire to have children, have severe symptoms or have failed conservative surgery or drug treatment after recurrence, but who want to preserve the endocrine function of the ovary.

Radical treatment requires removal of the entire uterus, bilateral appendages, and all visible lesions. It is suitable for older patients who have no desire to have children, whose symptoms are severe, or who have failed to respond to conservative surgery or drug treatment after recurrence.

For complex, deep-infiltrating endometriosis involving multiple organs, collaborative surgery from multiple disciplines (such as gynecology, urology, anorectal surgery, etc.) is often required to achieve the most satisfactory radical cure.

However, Jin Jizhen was not married yet and had not even had a boyfriend, so Zhou Qiao suggested conservative treatment with medication.

Jin Jizhen is willing to choose this method. Although it may relapse in the future, she does not want to lose her capital as a woman at a young age.

In addition, when a woman's organs are removed, the secretion of estrogen will stop, which will accelerate aging. Hypertension, diabetes, and even heart diseases may also occur.

This is similar to a man practicing the Sunflower Manual from the palace.But practicing the Sunflower Manual can strengthen the body and prolong life. If she didn't practice it, it would be useless.Park Soo-joo said a few words of comfort, and then, following the doctor's instructions, she personally injected Kim Hee-jin with a GNRHa (gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue) injection, which is a method of "amenorrhea treatment."Of course, this medication-controlled amenorrhea is temporary.

When the lesions in her body gradually shrink, the disease can be controlled by taking oral medicine in the future.

The medical community currently believes that this disease is a chronic disease that may last until menopause.Therefore, patients with endometriosis often need regular follow-up visits and cooperation with doctors for long-term management.

In addition to taking medicine to control, there is another way, and that is pregnancy.

Once you get pregnant, you won't have your period for at least ten months, so you won't have this worry.Although this disease has a certain probability of causing infertility.

If combined with infertility, additional means of intervention are needed.Jin Ji is really single, so there is no need to think about this for the time being.

A week later, Jin Jizhen's lung CT scan showed that the pleural effusion had completely disappeared, and the hemoptysis naturally no longer existed.

Fortunately, she works in a clinic, so it is really convenient for follow-up visits in the future.Zhou Qiao's medical skills were also very high, which deeply impressed her.

Then, because he was an internal employee, Zhou Qiao gave him a discount on his fees.Also as part of employee benefits.

Jin Ji really feels that working at Iris Clinic is really good. Compared with the previous working environment, it is much better!Because of this, she hopes that the clinic will become stronger and stronger, and it is best for her to work until she retires.

……

Amanda was very surprised because tonight, her husband was very interested and played games with her for a long time. He also praised her: "She is so thin now! Why did she suddenly become so thin? That Iris Clinic is so amazing!"

Her husband knew that she went to Iris Clinic for weight loss consultation and came back with a lot of medicine. He thought she was taking medicine!

Amanda was rarely happy. After her husband was done, she quietly got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower. She took a look in the mirror and saw that, sure enough, she was so thin!

However, she felt that her face was very haggard. In addition, she had those strange symptoms these days, her mouth was always dry and bitter, and there was a vague and strange sour taste in her throat. Her stomach was severely bloated after meals every day. She couldn't help but wonder: "Is there something wrong with you?"

After all, she knows very well whether she has taken the medicated granules from Iris Clinic!I only took it for the first few days, but I stopped taking it for more than half a month!If it was true that the medicine had miraculous effects, she herself would not believe it!
The next day, Amanda made an appointment with Flora to go to the Iris Clinic for a follow-up consultation.

When seeing Amanda, Flora shouted in surprise: "Amanda, you win! I didn't expect you lost so much weight!"

Amanda said melancholy: "I may not be normal thin, I may be sick!"

"Huh?" Flora was a little shocked, but after taking a closer look at Amanda, she found that her old friend's complexion was very poor and she had lost so much weight in such a short period of time. It was definitely abnormal.

They both lost weight at the same time, she only lost less than eight pounds, and Amanda?They all weigh at least twenty pounds. That’s terrifying!
As for whether there were any side effects caused by taking the medicine, Amanda didn't think so, because Flora had been taking the medicated granules from the clinic for a day and was in good health.

Amanda was worried and went to see Vivica for a follow-up consultation, while Flora went to find Rachel.

However, Vivica was also confused and didn't know where to start. Rachel, who was in the same clinic, thought about it and couldn't make up her mind. So Vivica took Amanda and asked her boss Zhou Qiao for help.

They all admired Zhou Qiao's medical skills.

"In your case, consider the atypical symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease, but you need to do a gastroscopy to confirm the diagnosis. In addition, you also need to do a CT to rule out the possibility of some organic diseases."
