Patient's question:
I am a 30-year-old woman. I went through menopause two years ago, but recently I have been experiencing intense itching in my external genitalia and around the vaginal opening. Additionally, the odor of my discharge is quite strong. I would like to ask: Which medication is most effective for treating pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
If the pelvic inflammatory disease is severe, taking medication during the menstrual period and adding traditional Chinese medicine can recover much faster. If it is not too severe, Amoxicillin can be taken, generally second or third generation are fine, and Tinidazole should also be added. Besides Cefoxitin, second generation options include Cefuroxime and Cefotiam, etc. You can use the third generation, try Cefoxitin. Then, the patient needs to maintain a balanced diet, regular sleep schedule, and regulate physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to keep a good mood, eat more light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
