Patient's question:
I am 21 years old this year. In the past few days, when I wash my underwear, I always find a lot of curd-like discharge on them, and it smells very bad. I also feel that my private area is damp and itchy, and my lower abdomen is uncomfortable. Please ask: How is pelvic inflammatory disease treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment options for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) are diverse, including physical therapy, medication, intravenous fluid therapy, and others. It can also be combined with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for internal and external regulation. Poor gynecological hygiene, as well as conditions like vaginitis and cervicitis, can lead to the upward transmission and cause PID. The treatment primarily involves anti-inflammatory and antibacterial measures. During the treatment period, it is advisable to temporarily avoid sexual activity, maintain good personal hygiene, reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods, and engage in regular outdoor activities to stay physically active, thereby boosting the immune system.
