Patient's question:
I've been having irregular periods recently, so I thought I'd go to the nearby hospital to see a gynecologist. The doctor said I have adnexitis. How long does adnexitis take to heal on its own?Doctor's answer:
In such cases, medication combined with physical therapy is generally required. After treatment, follow-up tests are necessary. Chinese herbal medicine can be used appropriately, while Western medicine can utilize various oral antibiotics. Physical therapy can also be considered. There are many types of physical therapy, such as laser, microwave, and ion penetration for treatment, which typically takes about a month. At the same time, dietary attention should be paid to a low-salt, low-fat, high-vitamin diet, quitting smoking and drinking, and avoiding extremely cold and spicy foods. In addition to timely treatment for adnexitis, patients also need to pay attention to nursing care.
