Chapter 949: Infertility

There were constantly people coming over to Yun Jiao, some trying to get close, others taking the opportunity to ask questions, and Yun Jiao answered each one sincerely.

After attending the banquet at noon and paying a two-silver membership fee for the year, Yun Jiao and Yang Ying returned to Renxin Hall.

When they got back, Gu Yuheng told her, "Sanlang’s mother came over this morning, seemingly having something to discuss with you. I told her you were at a meeting, and she stayed for quite a while before leaving."

Only then did Yun Jiao suddenly remember that she hadn’t visited Mrs. Chen in almost half a month.

Now that San Ya has married, and Liu Lang spends most of his time in the military camp, Mrs. Chen just stays at home with her daughter-in-law every day, likely feeling quite lonely.

In the evening, when Jiang Youzhi arrived, the two of them had dinner and then headed over to Mrs. Chen’s place.

Mrs. Chen was naturally delighted to see them, rummaging through the house to find fruits and sunflower seeds for them to eat.

After some small talk, Yun Jiao finally asked, "Mom, did you come to find me today for something?"

Mrs. Chen glanced at her daughter-in-law standing nearby, "Hui Niang, go to the front yard and check if the kitchen is tidied up yet."

Hui Niang understood that her mother-in-law had something private to discuss with them, so she agreed and went out.

Only when Hui Niang’s figure was out of sight did Mrs. Chen quietly say, "I came to find you today because I wanted you to take a look at Hui Niang. She’s been married to Liu Lang for two or three years now, and there’s been no movement regarding children. I’m a bit worried."

"But I’m also concerned that if I ask her to see a doctor, she might not be pleased."

Yun Jiao didn’t want to express an opinion and simply said, "It’s not good to force things. If she’s willing to be examined, I can do it anytime."

Mrs. Chen hesitated for a while before standing up, "You guys sit for a bit, I’ll go to the front and have a word with her."

Shortly after, Jiang Youzhi saw Mrs. Chen and Hui Niang coming over, and he got up to step outside into the courtyard.

Once inside, Mrs. Chen told Yun Jiao, "I have talked to her, Hui Niang is anxious too. Jiao Jiao, please take the trouble to take a look at her."

Yun Jiao didn’t rush to feel her pulse, but first asked, "When did you start menstruating? How often does it come, and how long does it last each time?"

Hui Niang lowered her head, "I started menstruating at fourteen."

"After that, it came every few months."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen’s expression changed slightly; having menstruation every few months is clearly not normal.

Is it possible that her daughter-in-law really has a problem?

Yun Jiao continued asking, "Exactly every few months?"

Hui Niang whispered, "Not consistent; sometimes three to four months, the longest interval was six months, lasting for two to three days."

Yun Jiao observed Hui Niang’s tongue coating, her expression became serious as she reached out to feel her pulse, but the pulse didn’t reveal many issues.

After pondering for a while, she asked Hui Niang in a very low voice, "Do you have... a lot of discharge?"

Understanding what Yun Jiao meant, Hui Niang’s face turned red, but after hesitating for a bit, she nodded.

Yun Jiao released her hand; she had a basic judgment of Hui Niang’s condition, which is likely polycystic ovary syndrome.

This disease, modern medicine basically has no way to cure.

Traditional Chinese medicine can only focus on nourishing and maintaining health.

Seeing the worried look on Hui Niang’s face and Mrs. Chen’s anxious appearance, Yun Jiao decided to speak truthfully.

"Hui Niang’s condition is difficult to treat; the reason for not having children is related to this."

"Some medication can be taken, but it won’t have much effect."

Hui Niang’s face suddenly turned pale.

Mrs. Chen also looked extremely grim, her heart sank to the bottom. She rarely saw Yun Jiao encounter an incurable disease, and now it seemed her daughter-in-law’s illness was truly untreatable.
