Chapter 306: Chapter 272: Is It Okay Not to Get the 9-Valent Vaccine?

“Director Lan, since we’ve been talking about gynecological diseases, cervical cancer should also count as one, right? Like many women, including myself, I’m quite afraid of this type of disease. You mentioned earlier about keeping the small intestine warm; can this prevent cervical cancer?”

This question was also something that host Xiao Ya had previously communicated with Lan Mei about.

“Of course it can. As I mentioned earlier, the essence of gynecological diseases is caused by cold, and cervical cancer is undoubtedly the same. As long as we ensure that the small intestine is always warm, cervical cancer cannot exist. Clinically, I’ve seen many patients with gynecological diseases, and quite a number have cervical cancer, and every case involves an issue with the small intestine.”

Lan Mei had also treated some cervical cancer patients. Although the results weren’t particularly ideal, as long as the function of the small intestine wasn’t affected by cold and dampness, patients could still live with cancer.

Of course, with her medical skills, it was only about preserving life, unlike Lu Jiu, who could help patients return to normal life in a short time.

“Director Lan, how can we ensure that our small intestine remains warm?” Xiao Ya asked.

Lan Mei smiled and said, “There are two things you need to do: the first is diet. Normally, don’t eat too many cold foods, especially for women. The other thing is not to overeat. The small intestine is a very important digestive path for us. Once food reaches the small intestine, it’s like a pot of water that needs to be boiled. If there’s too much water, exceeding the capacity of the small intestine, the excess moisture will accumulate in the body.”

“Occasionally overeating is not a big deal, but if you do it every day without giving the small intestine a break, the moisture will not be expelled and slowly, the function of the small intestine will have issues. The uterus and ovaries will start growing things due to excessive moisture, similar to how moss likes to grow by water pools. Any virus or cancer cells prefer cold and wet places, so both men and women shouldn’t let their bodies have too much moisture.”

“I’ve seen many young girls in clinical practice who don’t exercise all year round. They like wearing crop tops when the weather is nice, and when the sun is out, they cover up tightly, not exposing themselves to any sunlight. When such women come to me, I don’t even need to check their pulse to know their constitution tends towards cold and dampness. Many times, the so-called constitution issue actually stems from lifestyle habits. Therefore, when you get sick, don’t just blame it on your constitution. Think more about whether your lifestyle habits contributed to your current constitution.”

Xiao Ya nodded, having interviewed many doctors, she had some understanding of both Chinese and Western medicine.

Lan Mei’s viewpoint was something she particularly agreed with; unhealthy lifestyle habits indeed lead to the development of various diseases.

“What about beyond diet?” Xiao Ya asked.

Lan Mei answered, “Of course, there’s also emotions, sleep, exercise, and so on…”

Lu Jiu was outside, observing one of the live broadcast screens.

Besides the images of Lan Mei and the host, there were also many bullet comments from netizens in the lower left corner.

This should be the official live stream of the TV station.

Lu Jiu noticed that the popularity wasn’t very high, but the activity of the bullet comments was astonishing.

There was someone posting comments almost every second.

“Xiao Ya, pay attention, it’s time to connect. The live stream is already starting to connect with viewers, get ready…”

Yan Sansi prompted in front of the microphone, and evidently, Xiao Ya heard him.

Xiao Ya quickly wrapped up the conversation with Lan Mei and turned to the camera, “Alright, next is our live connection segment. Let’s invite the director to connect us with the first viewer… Hello, this is the Healthy Jianghan Live Stream, do you have any questions you’d like to consult Director Lan about?”

Within the live stream, a female voice sounded.

“It’s like this, I want to ask Director Lan, is it okay not to get the nine-valent vaccine? I’ve tried many connections and still can’t get an appointment.”

Xiao Ya’s eyes lit up.

This is a great question!

The nine-valent vaccine has always been a hot topic among their female group.

It’s because many doctors recommend that girls should get the nine-valent vaccine, otherwise, the chance of getting cervical cancer would be particularly high.

Lan Mei said, “You have to understand, the vaccine is only a form of prevention, and since it’s prevention, it can’t be 100%. In other words, getting this vaccine doesn’t mean you can act recklessly in daily life. You still need to cultivate healthy lifestyle habits, as I mentioned earlier, keeping your small intestine warm.”

“So if you don’t get the vaccine, as long as your lifestyle habits are decent and your small intestine remains warm, you won’t get cervical cancer either. So, don’t be too anxious, don’t burden yourself with unnecessary concerns and worries. If you can’t get it, then you can’t; it’s not a big deal. And to be honest, any vaccine provided free by the state is fine to get, but if you pay for it yourself, you should be cautious.”

“Five years ago, I saw a little girl, about three or four years old. Her mother had good intentions, hoping her child would never get sick, so she paid for many vaccines. After spending tens of thousands, it ended up making her child paralyzed due to cerebral palsy. I remember she had a Douyin account; if you search, you should be able to find it.”

“I’m using this example not to make you fear vaccines, but to tell you that vaccines are not omnipotent. No medicine, whether traditional Chinese or Western, exceeds the changes you make for yourself. You have to understand, people weren’t born to take medicine. Many of the diseases people fear actually accumulate from bad habits. As long as you intervene early, no disease is hard to treat.”

“So, it doesn’t matter if you get the nine-valent vaccine or not.”

Hearing these words, there was an audible sigh of relief from the other end of the live stream.

“Thank you, Director Lan, I’ll take your advice and not get it.” The girl’s words sounded much more cheerful.

Xiao Ya smiled and said, “Miss, make sure to follow Director Lan’s advice. Healthy lifestyle habits are the best way to prevent diseases. Alright, let’s connect with the next viewer… Hello, this is the Healthy Jianghan Live Stream, do you have any questions you’d like to consult Director Lan about?”

Speaking again was a girl, “I want to ask Director Lan, can your hospital’s Chinese medicine for beauty and skin really improve skin?”

When it came to this question, Lan Mei smiled.

Beside her, Xiao Ya pursed her lips and said, “Actually, I really want to ask this question too! Director Lan, could you answer this on behalf of Lu Jiu TCM Hospital?”

Lan Mei nodded, “Although today’s theme is gynecological diseases, skin is also an important issue for women. Since you asked, I’ll tell you directly, the best medicine for women’s beauty and skin care is going to bed on time.”

“Sleeping at nine and getting up at five or six in the morning is the best routine. However, given today’s fast-paced society, achieving this is almost impossible unless you don’t work. So, we can settle for the next best. Internal and external treatment with Chinese medicine can help maintain skin moisture. You can ask at our medicinal diet department; several girls have persisted for about a week, and their skin condition has improved significantly.”

“Like a 27-year-old girl, after about four or five days of conditioning, the acne marks on her face have almost disappeared by 80%, and her complexion is much healthier. So if you can’t maintain a perfect routine, try Chinese medicine and food therapy. Of course, these aren’t absolute, and our hospital can’t guarantee every skin issue can be solved.”

The girl excitedly asked, “Does your hospital offer delivery service for the dietary therapy you mentioned? Can it be prepared and sent to my home?”

Lan Mei couldn’t help but laugh, “I’m afraid not. On one hand, we must diagnose you to know what’s wrong with your body that’s causing less-than-ideal skin. This way, we can tailor a unique dietary plan for you. On the other hand, if we offer a delivery service, the orders will increase, which is a burden for our medicinal diet department. Once completely commercialized, the freshness of the ingredients and effectiveness will be difficult to ensure.”

“So, our hospital director made it clear when establishing the medicinal diet department that it only accepts patients in person. Even if we do less each day, we must not compromise on quality. We hope you understand.”

Is that so.

It seems pretty good!
