Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) interprets vulvar sores as a sign of internal disharmony, primarily involving patterns of Dampness and Heat. TCM emphasizes that the body's energetic balance, involving Qi, Blood, Yin, and Yang, must be maintained for optimal health. Identifying the patterns of disharmony allows TCM practitioners to tailor treatments that address the root causes, aiming to restore balance and heal the sores.
