"Dr. Li, could you tell me what exactly is wrong with me?"
The woman looked distressed, her voice laced with anxiety. "Four months ago, I had a cervical polyp removed here... oh, no, at the Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital. The surgery went smoothly, and the abdominal pain afterward gradually went away. But since then, I've always felt cold in my lower abdomen, especially right here..."
She pointed downward, looking a bit embarrassed. "It feels like there's a fan blowing cold air inside. In the dead of winter, wearing three layers of cotton pants doesn't even help. And it's not just the cold; sometimes it suddenly spasms, hurting so much it makes me panic."
Li Xu checked her pulse while carefully asking, "What about your urination? How is that?"
"It's pale, like clear water, but there's a lot of it. I have to get up several times a night." The woman sighed. "My lower back aches, too, and I always feel weak. I'm not thirsty, though."
