Patient's question:
I am 22 years old this year. These days, when I wash my underwear, I always find a lot of curd-like secretions on them, and they smell very bad. I also feel that my private area is always damp and a bit itchy, and my lower abdomen is uncomfortable. Please ask: How is pelvic inflammatory disease treated?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is divided into acute PID and chronic PID. Acute PID is primarily treated with antibiotics, where oral or intravenous antibiotics are used to control the spread of inflammation. Chronic inflammation can be managed through physical therapy or Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatments. It is also important to maintain good hygiene, stabilize daily diet, avoid fishy, spicy, and irritating foods, and drink plenty of water while consuming fresh fruits and vegetables. Patients diagnosed with the disease should maintain a positive mindset and face the illness with optimism, as this can enhance their immunity and strengthen their belief in overcoming the disease. It is believed that this approach can help drive the illness away.
