Patient's question:
I had an issue last year. At that time, after checking at the hospital, I was prescribed medication. Both the topical and oral treatments quickly brought it under control. However, recently, discomfort has returned to my private area, and my discharge is abnormal with a very strong odor. Could you please advise?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) actually falls into two categories: acute and chronic. The main symptoms include a sense of heaviness and fullness in the lower abdomen, lower back pain, and if it's in the acute phase, symptoms like low-grade fever and chills may reappear, requiring symptomatic treatment. PID can be managed with traditional Chinese medicine, and with treatment following a prescribed course, it can often heal on its own. At the same time, it's important to strengthen the body, such as by improving dietary nutrition, engaging in appropriate physical exercise, maintaining regular bowel movements, drinking plenty of water, and getting adequate rest. There are many treatment methods available in gynecology, but since each patient's condition is different, the treatment approach may vary. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
