A method of treatment used to address vaginal discharge. Checking vaginal discharge usually denotes securing and astringing to treat vaginal discharge due to vacuity and characterized by persistent clear thin white vaginal discharge without foul smell, often accompanied by gradually developing physical weakness. It involves the use of qì-supplementing and kidney-supplementing medicinals combined with securing astringents such as calcined cuttlefish bone (Sepiae seu Sepiellae Os Calcinatum, 煅乌贼骨 duàn wū zéi gǔ), calcined oyster shell (Ostreae Concha Calcinata, 煅牡蛎 duàn mǔ lì), euryale (Euryales Semen, 芡实 qiàn shí), ginkgo (Ginkgo Semen, 白果 bái guǒ), and yellow wax (Cera Flava, 黄蜡 huáng là). A representative vaginal-discharge–checking formula is Discharge-Checking Tablet (止带片 zhǐ dài piàn).
