Patient's question:
I am a 31-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: What are the traditional Chinese medicine treatments for pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
Generally, when considering pelvic inflammatory disease, Ginkgo biloba and Fule Chongji can be considered. For vaginitis, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination of the vaginal discharge routine to confirm the nature of the vaginitis and identify the cause. Symptomatic treatment should be administered, including vaginal douching, oral medication, and persistent treatment. Both partners should be treated to prevent cross-infection.Then, the patient needs to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, and regulate physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood, eat light, soft, and easily digestible foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
