On June 8th, Nafe, who had come to Guangdong for an exchange and training program, experienced sudden irregular vaginal bleeding and sought emergency treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine. Due to language barriers, she was extremely distressed. Feng Yihui, a physician from the hospital's Second Department of Gynecology, took the initiative to comfort her in fluent English, carefully explain her condition, and help contact her family overseas to keep them informed of the treatment plan, thereby easing her anxiety.

After examination, Nafe was diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy, a type of high-risk gynecologic acute abdomen. The hospital immediately activated its emergency response protocol and performed a minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery. The operation was completed successfully. Following the procedure, the hospital developed a personalized rehabilitation plan integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine, using specialized traditional Chinese medicine therapies to support her recovery.

"This was my first encounter with traditional Chinese medicine in my life!" Nafe said. At first, she was curious about the therapies, which were entirely new to her. After experiencing them firsthand, however, she was pleasantly surprised by their effectiveness.

"My stomach felt much better after taking the herbal medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine is amazing!" During her recovery, Nafe repeatedly gave medical staff a thumbs-up. Thanks to the integrated and precise treatment approach combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine, she recovered much faster than expected. By the second day after surgery, most of her bodily functions had returned to normal, and she met the criteria for discharge.

On June 10th, Nafe was discharged from the hospital with a supply of the hospital's proprietary medicinal preparations for continued use. On June 11th, after returning home, she promptly sent a message to the medical team to let them know she had arrived safely. "I will take these Chinese herbal medicines as prescribed!" she said.
