Pregnancy and the Zang-Fu System

tutor

Dear Tutor,

Hope you are well!

I have one question today - does the theory of the Zang-Fu system alter in any way to describe symptoms in pregnant women? For example, such as dysfunction of the spleen can sometimes indicate fluid retention, which is quite common in later pregnancy.

Thank you.

Dear Kwaichang,
Yes of course!
There is a special gynecology in traditional Chinese medicine , which needs some special knowledge.

In traditional Chinese medicine, internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, and pediatrics are considered as the major specialties.
