Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling some soreness in my lower back. Sometimes, even when I bend over to cut vegetables, I feel the pain and discomfort. My lower abdomen also feels heavy and swollen, and my vaginal discharge is quite abundant. What should I pay attention to when I have pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of this disease first requires identifying the cause. Generally, it is caused by upward infection, often with a history of vaginitis or uterine cavity manipulation. Secondly, it is important to promptly select a sensitive antibiotic, and the medication must be used for an adequate duration. Additionally, physical therapy can be added, such as shortwave therapy, transdermal iontophoresis of Chinese and Western medicines. During the consolidation period, Chinese medicine for clearing heat, detoxifying, resolving dampness, and eliminating blood stasis can be used, which may yield better results.
