Patient's question:
I am a 66-year-old woman and have been feeling quite tired recently. I have a sense that something is not right with my health. Could it be this disease? Please ask: What should I do if I get pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
Generally, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a symptom caused by bacterial infection, so it should be treated promptly once detected to prevent serious consequences. Patients with PID can usually take medications such as levofloxacin and metronidazole for treatment. If oral medication is ineffective, intravenous drip treatment with cefotetan sodium can be used. At the same time, abdominal cold compresses and infrared therapy can be used in combination. During treatment, sexual activity should be avoided.
