I practiced medicine in ancient times

Chapter 257 Tumor

"Madam Wang still needs someone to watch over her at all times.

Bai Yan and I will take turns to watch over him for the first two days. After that, he will recuperate according to the prescription and the precautions we told him, and there will be no problem in resuming normal life.

Also, it is not advisable for too many people to visit Mrs. Wang for too long in the past few days, so as to avoid introducing human germs to Mrs. Wang and affecting the healing of her wounds.

Let the maid bring the things we need to the door these days, and we can bring them in ourselves. "Xu Qingyi also told everyone in the Wang family.

"Okay, we will all listen to Doctor Xu and Doctor Bai."

........

"This is the last one, right?" Xu Qingyi looked at the Wu Mansion in front of her, and there seemed to be a sense of relief in her tone.

Taking the list of doctors prepared by Emperor Rui'an for them, they sorted according to the list. Starting from August, more than four months have passed till today. From summer to winter, they have traveled almost all over the capital, bringing hope to those royal family members, court ministers and ladies who needed medical treatment.

"Yes, this is the last one." Chen Xiu next to them responded softly, with anticipation and fatigue in her eyes. In the past four months, they hardly had a good rest and spent every day in a busy schedule. However, every time they saw those who recovered their health because of their treatment, they felt that all their efforts were worth it.

In the past few months, as high as one-fifth of the patients who came to see the doctor underwent surgery, but they were all simple minor operations, such as: excision of abscesses caused by paronychia, surgery for sebaceous cysts, and breast abscesses caused by acute mastitis. The main purpose of the surgery was to incise and drain the abscesses to promote recovery, and more....

As for those who need to take pulses, prescribe medicine and drink decoctions, most of them are caused by three highs, or have low immunity, resulting in weakness and illness, etc.

After Xu Qingyi and others prescribed medicine or performed surgery, the condition was quickly brought under control, and with time, the treatment showed good results.

This also led to Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan's reputation becoming more and more famous in the capital, and their four apprentices also benefited a lot. Despite their fame, Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan's lives did not change much.

They are still busy seeing patients, prescribing medicines, and performing surgery.

After knocking on the gate of the Wu Mansion, the servants of the Wu family heard that Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan were here to see their master, and they immediately welcomed them in.

Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan were led to the main hall of the Wu Mansion. Mr. Wu had already been waiting there. In addition, Mr. Wu's eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law were also in the main hall.

"Meet Mr. Wu, Lord Wu, and Madam Wu." Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan saluted Mr. Wu, who nodded and motioned for them to sit down. His eyes swept over Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan, with a hint of anticipation and nervousness in them.

"Imperial Physician Xu, Imperial Physician Bai, you are finally here." There was a hint of fatigue in Mr. Wu's voice.

"Let's not exchange pleasantries. I wonder if you're feeling unwell, Mr. Wu?" Xu Qingyi asked directly.

Judging from his facial features, Mr. Wu looked very healthy and did not look like a sick person, but his eyes revealed a deep fatigue. He was also wearing heavy clothes in the house, and his figure looked a little bloated.

"My health has been getting worse recently. I have consulted numerous famous doctors and taken numerous medicines, but nothing has improved. I heard that you two are highly skilled doctors, so I specially asked you to come and help me.

That's right... that's right, I don't know why, my belly is getting bigger day by day, like I'm four or five months pregnant, and as the days go by, my belly is getting bigger and bigger." Old Master Wu hesitated and said.

"Imperial Physician Xu, Imperial Physician Bai, what is going on with my father?" Lord Wu on the side asked worriedly.

“We don’t know the situation yet, we need to check and then draw a conclusion.

Oh! By the way, as your belly gets bigger, do you have any pain or anything like that? "Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan looked at each other. They probably had some idea about the disease that Mr. Wu was talking about, so Bai Yan asked.

"It doesn't hurt or itch. Because it doesn't hurt or itch, I thought my belly would get bigger. But I didn't expect it to keep growing. Not only does it become inconvenient for me to go out, but it also affects my daily life." Grandpa Wu said distressedly.

“Okay, let’s go into the inner room. Mr. Wu, take off your clothes and lie on the bed. I’ll check you over.

Sir Wu, you come in too. " After Bai Yan had a plan in mind, he let Old Master Wu enter the inner room, and Sir Wu followed closely behind.

Following Bai Yan's instructions, Mr. Wu lay on the bed and took off his shirt. His abdomen had swollen like a huge balloon, which looked extremely scary. Bai Yan and Xu Qingyi stood by the bed, carefully observing Mr. Wu's abdomen, their brows furrowed.

"Mr. Wu, your illness is indeed a bit special. Let me feel it first." Bai Yan said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Wu nodded to show his understanding.

Bai Yan began to carefully examine Mr. Wu's abdomen. As he touched it, Bai Yan's mind automatically emerged with the situation inside Mr. Wu's body.

She discovered that the reason why Mr. Wu's abdomen was constantly swelling was because he had a huge tumor in his body. This tumor grew on the small intestine in the abdomen, which not only compressed the surrounding organs, but also affected Mr. Wu's daily life.

"It's a tumor, growing on the small intestine." Bai Yan withdrew his hand, covered Mr. Wu with a quilt and said.

"Is this benign or malignant?" asked Xu Qingyi on the side.

"So far, it is not malignant, otherwise it would not be painless, but nothing is absolute."

"Mr. Wu, this tumor in your body needs to be removed as soon as possible." Bai Yan said seriously, "Otherwise, it may continue to grow and cause greater harm to your body."

When Mr. Wu heard the news, his face turned pale. He knew that his health had not been very good, but he did not expect it to be so serious.

"Then...what should we do?" Lord Wu asked anxiously.

Bai Yan comforted him, "We need to perform a cesarean section to remove the tumor. At present, the tumor will continue to grow. If it is not removed, it will be like a ripe watermelon that will explode directly.

Therefore, if treatment is needed, surgery should be performed as soon as possible to remove the tumor in the body."

"This... Is the risk big? After this tumor is removed this time, will it grow again in the future?" Lord Wu asked worriedly.
