Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. It's especially severe during my period, and I'm very worried it might affect my fertility. Additionally, I'm extremely sensitive to cold and cold drafts. What treatment can help alleviate pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
Hello, pelvic inflammatory disease can be treated by both Chinese and Western medicine. Generally, following medical advice and taking oral medications is sufficient. Other methods include laser acupoint irradiation, drug ion infusion, shortwave therapy, microwave therapy, ultraviolet therapy, spectrum therapy, hot water Sitz baths, acupuncture, and Chinese herbal enemas, among others. In daily life, it is important to enhance dietary nutrition, engage in appropriate physical exercise, maintain regular bowel movements, drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, and avoid overexertion or prolonged standing or squatting.In addition, during the treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. It is essential to prevent excessive mental tension and worry to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery from pelvic inflammatory disease.
