Patient's question:
Recently, there has been an increase in leukorrhea with a bad odor, and lower abdominal pain with a sense of heaviness. After examination, it was found to be pelvic inflammatory disease. Is it common for pelvic inflammatory disease to cause lower back pain and inflammation and pain in the inguinal lymph nodes on both sides?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease generally causes these symptoms. Based on your description, it seems you have chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, which has been present for a long time and is quite stubborn. It is recommended to seek systematic treatment at a hospital. Antibiotics combined with traditional Chinese medicine enemas and physical therapy are usually effective in curing it within about a month. During treatment, avoid spicy and irritating foods. There are many treatment methods for pelvic inflammatory disease, but since symptoms vary among patients, the treatment approaches differ. Therefore, it is advised that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
