Chapter 206: Abnormal emaciation

Kim Ji is really embarrassed that there are so many people here.

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

After a while, Rachel and Vivica were free and came up to pay a visit.

With so many women, it is estimated that she is the only one, and it is menstrual blood that comes out of the mouth above. It's a shame!

However, everyone did not laugh at her, but comforted her again and again.

Elena also went to buy a bouquet of flowers for her to place in the hospital room to ease her anxiety.

Pneumothorax, as the name suggests, is when gas escapes into the chest cavity.

The normal pleural cavity is a closed pleural cavity, in which the lungs bulge up and deflated normally with the breathing of the human body, and sometimes due to other factors, such as lung rupture or external trauma, blunt trauma of blunt instruments, sharp metal puncture of the chest cavity, resulting in the rupture of the lungs, resulting in the normal exchange of gas in the lungs running into the chest cavity.

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

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

Most women present in their early 30s.

It's really rare to have such a situation like Kim Hee-jin, who is only in her early twenties.

Most pneumothorax occur on the right side, but left and bilateral pneumothorax have also been reported. Without treatment, menstrual pneumothorax will recur frequently, i.e. every month. The severity of clinical symptoms is related to the amount of pneumothorax.

After relieving the pneumothorax, Zhou Qiao helped Jin Jizhen arrange a carbohydrate antigen CA-125 tumor marker assay.

The test results showed that the indicators were significantly higher 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's final diagnosis for her was "endometriosis".

Kim Hee really covered her face.

There is no doubt that it was confirmed that the blood she coughed up was really menstrual blood!

In endometriosis, the "big aunt" just runs around. But running out of his mouth, not only Zhou Qiao, but also Rachel and Vivica, who have worked in the clinic for the longest time, have never seen such a "naughty".

This disease, if surgically performed, is usually divided into semi-curative and curative.

Semi-radical is the preservation of ovarian function, which is suitable for younger patients who do not have fertility requirements, have severe symptoms, or have relapsed after conservative surgery or drug treatment, but want to preserve ovarian endocrine function.

Radical resection of the whole uterus, bilateral appendages, and all visible lesions is required, which is suitable for patients who are older and have no fertility requirements, severe symptoms, or relapse after relapse and have failed to respond to conservative surgery or drug treatment.

For complex deep infiltrating endosis with multi-organ involvement, multidisciplinary (such as gynecology, urology, anorectal surgery, etc.) is often required to achieve the most satisfactory radical cure.

However, Jin Jizhen is not married yet, and she has never even talked about a boyfriend, so Zhou Qiao suggested that she should use drugs for conservative treatment.

Kim Ji Jin is also willing to choose this way, although she may relapse in the future, but she doesn't want to lose her capital as a woman at a young age.

In addition, when a woman's organs are removed, estrogen will stop secreting, aging will increase, and high blood pressure, diabetes, and even heart disease may occur.

This is similar to a man's self-palace and practicing the sunflower treasure book. But practicing the Sunflower Treasure Book can strengthen the body and prolong life, and she doesn't have to practice it, which is not cost-effective.

Park so-joo comforted a few words, and then, following the doctor's instructions, she personally injected Kim Hee-jin with GNRHa (gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue) injections, which is a means of "amenorrhea treatment". Of course, this medication-controlled amenorrhea is temporary.

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

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

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

Once you are pregnant, you will not have menstruation for at least 10 months, and you will not have this problem. Despite this disease, there is a certain probability that it will lead to infertility.

If there is a combination of infertility, other means of intervention are required. Kim Ji is really a single dog, so there is no need to think about this for the time being.

A week later, Kim Hee-jin had a follow-up CT scan of her lungs, and the pleural fluid had completely disappeared, and coughing up blood was naturally gone.

Fortunately, she works in the clinic herself, so it is really convenient to follow up in the future. Zhou Qiao's medical skills are also high, which makes her deeply admired.

And then, because he was an internal employee, Zhou Qiao gave a discount. Also as part of employee benefits.

Kim Ji really thinks that working at the Iris Clinic is really good, compared to the previous working environment, it is too much! Because of this, she hopes that the clinic will become stronger and stronger, and it is best to let her work until retirement.

……

Amanda was pleasantly surprised, because tonight, her husband was very interested, played games with her for a long time, and praised her: "Now so thin!" How did you suddenly become so thin? That iris clinic is amazing! ”

Her husband knew that she went to the iris clinic for weight loss counseling and came back with a lot of medicine, and thought she was taking medicine!

Amanda was rarely happy, and after her husband was finished, she quietly got up, went to the bathroom to shower, and took a look in the mirror by the way.

It's just that she feels that her face is very haggard, and in addition, those strange symptoms these days, her mouth is always dry and bitter, and there is a faint strange sour taste in her throat, and her stomach is swollen after meals every day, so she can't help but wonder: "Could it be some disease?" ”

After all, whether she had taken the medicinal diet of the Iris Clinic or not, she knew very well herself! It's just that I took it for the first few days, and it's been half a month since I stopped taking the drug! If it was really the miraculous effect of that drug, she didn't believe it herself!

The next day, Amanda made an appointment with Flora to go to the iris clinic for a follow-up visit.

When she saw Amanda, Flora exclaimed in surprise, "Amanda, you have won!" I can't believe you've lost so much weight! ”

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

"Huh?" Flora was a little shocked, but looked at Amanda carefully, and sure enough, this old friend's complexion was very bad, and it was definitely not normal to lose so much weight in a short period of time.

The two lost weight at the same time, and she lost less than eight pounds, and Amanda? At least twenty pounds, that's terrifying!

As for the sequelae caused by taking medicine, Amanda thinks no, because Flora has been taking the clinic's medicinal diet powder, and she has not stopped for a day, and her health is very good.

Amanda is upset and goes to Vivica for a follow-up appointment, while Flora goes to Rachel.

It's just that Vivica was also confused, and she didn't know where to start for a while, Rachel in the same consultation room thought about it and couldn't make up her mind, so Vivica took Amanda and asked her boss Zhou Qiao for help.

For Zhou Qiao's medical skills, they are quite admired.

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