They ran a lot of blood tests.
When the report was out, quite a few items showed lower than normal values.
Ben looked at the test reports and frowned slightly.
Shayne felt that something was amiss and asked solemnly, “Is it serious?”
Ben was silent for some time, not knowing what to say.
Yanny was afraid that Ben might be intimidated by Shayne. She said, “Dr. Harvey, just say it as it is.”
Only then did Ben dared to voice out. “The blood platelet count is on the low side, but it’s not to the level of being considered clinically low. That’s why it’s not too convenient to treat with medicine. Nevertheless, based on Mrs. Jinn’s blood platelet count, it is indeed slightly higher than the normal range. However, if we use hormone therapy, there might be some side effects. At the same time, the treatment lacks specificity. After all, Mrs. Jinn is not having reduced platelet count from illnesses.”
Shayne frowned. “You said a whole bunch of mumbo jumbo. Do you have a solution? Can you do it or not?”
Yanny reached out and grabbed Shayne’s hand, signaling him to calm down.
Shayne steeled his face, then sat aside impatiently.
Yanny asked, “Apart from the blood platelet count being on the low end, do I have any other issues?”
Ben answered honestly, “Your androgen is also rather low. Androgen has the ability to stimulate blood production in the bone marrow. If that’s low, it would easily cause your blood platelet count to be on the low end. However, taking glucocorticoid and androgen will cause some side effects to your body. For Mrs. Jinn, the end results might not be satisfactory.”
“If so, do you have other suggestions?” Yanny asked.
Ben considered for a moment, then asked, “How is Mrs. Jinn’s appetite?”
“Not bad. I can eat spicy and oily stuff. I don’t really avoid any foods.”
Ben then checked Yanny’s pulse again, then said, “If your appetite is not bad, then let’s try some homeopathic remedies in tandem with other western medicine. That way it will have a greater effect.”
After prescribing the medicine, Ben instructed, “While you’re taking this medicine, you’re not allowed to prepare for birth, nor bear a child. Otherwise it might cause deformities to the fetus. I’ll prescribe half a month’s worth of medicine first. Mrs. Jinn can come back for your follow-up blood test after you’ve finished the medicine.”
“Okay.”
“Also, you need some exercise to stimulate androgen secretion to regulate your body’s hormonal balance. However, don’t overwork yourself and try to avoid stress. Only when your body is in a relaxed state can your condition recover faster. Period pain is just a painful feeling, but it won’t cause much problems. Meanwhile, you need to be extra careful of your low blood platelet count. You must do regular follow-ups. Furthermore, Mrs. Jinn’s AB Rh negative blood type means you should avoid getting injured. This type of blood is the rarest of the rares. You must be extra careful of external injuries, especially with Mrs. Jinn’s lowered blood clotting efficiency. If your finger is cut and the bleeding wouldn’t stop, you need to come to the hospital to get it treated.”
Yanny nodded, remembering the instructions. “Sure. Thank you, Dr. Harvey.”
When they collected their medicine, it was a big pile, containing both western medicine and homeopathic remedies.
That was only for half a month.
