On January 2, Selena, a college student, presented to our clinic with chronic "digestive issues" and tiredness after a long flight from China. She said she just saw a TCM doctor in China who prescribed a lot of Chinese herbs for her digestion after checking her pulses. Hearing that she tends to feel bloated and cold in her "stomach", I decided to do a physical exam on her abdomen. Upon insepction and palpation, there appeared nothing wrong with her upper gastric region. However, her lower abdomen looked quite big as if she was 5 month pregnant. Based on the size, shape, and hardness of her tummy, I believed there must be an occupying lesion in her pelvic cavity.
