Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling extremely fatigued and experiencing severe abdominal pain. I used to have pelvic inflammatory disease and took some medication. Could it lead to adhesions? How are adhesions in women's pelvic treated?Doctor's answer:
Based on your condition, there may be a possibility of gynecological inflammation. It is recommended to take metronidazole orally, and you can also use traditional Chinese medicine such as mulberry leaves, atractylodes rhizome, coptis root, phellodendron bark, patrinia, cinnabar, and white head to decoct and warm wash the external genitalia. It is advised to avoid excessive scratching, friction, or hot water washing on the itchy area to reduce swelling and relieve pain. Do not use strong alkaline soaps for foot baths, nor repeatedly scrub the external genitalia or vagina with foot bath agents, as this may alter the vaginal pH, disrupt the normal vaginal flora, and damage the vaginal acidic antibacterial barrier. Avoid using strong-stimulating topical hormone drugs.
