Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. It's especially bad during my period, and I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility. I also feel extremely cold and fear the cold. How can pelvic inflammatory disease and uterine enlargement be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
For patients with pelvic inflammatory disease who experience severe lower abdominal pain and show significant pelvic inflammatory signs during gynecological examinations, broad-spectrum antibiotics such as penicillins and cephalosporins should be used in combination with metronidazole (Flagyl) for intravenous drip after the menstrual period. If there are pelvic masses or severe inflammation with frequent relapses, surgical treatment may be appropriate. Additionally, physical therapies such as shortwave, ultrashortwave, infrared, and drug iontophoresis can enhance pelvic blood circulation and aid in the resolution of inflammation, and may be used as needed. Chinese herbal medicines that promote blood circulation and clear heat-toxin can also be considered.
