Patient's question:
I am 26 years old. It's actually okay most of the time, but I always get sick after each menstrual period. The specific symptoms are itching in the private area and a feeling of lower abdominal heaviness and pain. Please ask: After examination, I was diagnosed with pelvic effusion. How is it treated?Doctor's answer:
Based on the description of the above content, your condition is considered to be pelvic effusion. Generally, pelvic effusion is caused by pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which includes chronic and acute PID. For acute PID, bed rest and semi-recumbent position are encouraged to localize the inflammation, and a high-calorie, high-protein, and high-vitamin diet is recommended. In case of necessity, minimal surgery may be performed to significantly enhance the body's resistance. Intravenous antibiotics are used systemically. If antibiotic treatment is unsatisfactory, surgical treatment may be considered. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment mainly focuses on promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Chronic PID is usually a progression from acute PID. The treatment mainly involves local physical therapy and encouragement therapy. During pregnancy, it is not advisable to use systemic medications easily to prevent fetal malformation.
