Patient's question:
Female, 27 years old. Recently, she has found that her private area is always itchy and feels hot, as if it were being burned. Is this a sign of pelvic inflammatory disease? Please ask: How is pelvic inflammatory disease treated, and will it affect pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease requires long-term patience from the patient. This disease usually has a prolonged course and tends to occur frequently. During treatment, patients are typically prescribed many traditional Chinese herbal medicines, such as Qianjin tablets, for treatment. Additionally, attention should be paid to personal hygiene, and a proper diet and lifestyle should be maintained, which generally will not affect pregnancy. During the treatment period, it is also important to change underwear frequently. After washing, underwear should be thoroughly exposed to sunlight to kill germs.
