Patient's question:
Lower abdominal pain with a dull ache, vulvar itching, especially relieved after cold exposure. Taking traditional Chinese medicine (Tubefox Capsule), vaginal lavage, and antibiotics. What traditional Chinese medicine is good to eat? Test results show two dark areas in the pelvis, 1.5x5.4.Doctor's answer:
Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is indeed very challenging, as it results from acute pelvic inflammatory disease not being treated thoroughly, leading to non-healing. It requires a comprehensive evaluation and systemic treatment. With two dark areas in the pelvic measuring 1.5X5.4, follow-up examinations after treatment are necessary to monitor any changes in size. The main treatment methods include enhancing nutrition and strengthening the body. Local therapies such as shortwave and ultrashortwave therapy, as well as iontophoresis, are recommended. Enzymes like trypsin and hyaluronidase are administered via injection, while various anti-inflammatory suppositories are used rectally. Traditional Chinese medicine decoctions like Hongteng decoction are retained for enema. If necessary, intravenous antibiotics can be administered during menstruation. Pelvic effusion can cause significant interference to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and maintain proper self-care, such as eating more fruits and vegetables and avoiding foods. It is hoped that patients with pelvic effusion can receive professional treatment.
