Patient's question:
Doctor! I had an abortion last year. A few days ago, I suddenly felt a heavy and bloated lower abdomen and went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said I have pelvic inflammatory disease and need to undergo physical therapy. Is this serious? I don't want to do physical therapy. I want to ask, can pelvic inflammatory disease be treated with medication?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease is a difficult condition to treat. It can be controlled with active treatment, but the likelihood of recurrence is very high. The main treatments currently available are medication and physical therapy. Medications primarily include various anti-inflammatory drugs and blood-activating and blood-stasis-resolving drugs, such as amoxicillin, ciprofloxacin, or gynecological anti-inflammatory drugs. The effectiveness of medication treatment is generally modest, while the effectiveness of physical therapy is relatively better.
