Patient's question:
How can acute pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) be prevented from becoming chronic? I have a friend who suffered from acute PID. Because she was too busy with home renovation and wedding planning, she missed the best treatment window, which later developed into chronic PID. The doctor told her that it might interfere with her ability to get pregnant, and she regrets it deeply. Is there any way to correct this?Doctor's answer:
Many symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) can cause certain interference and harm to daily life and work. After suffering from PID, symptoms may include lower abdominal dull pain, muscle tension, tenderness and rebound tenderness, and a large amount of purulent discharge from the vagina. PID is a gynecological disease that is difficult to cure completely, so the focus is on controlling symptoms and improving quality of life. When symptoms significantly subside, active medication treatment should be administered. It is not advisable to take anti-inflammatory drugs for a long period, as this can lead to drug resistance and dysbiosis, potentially causing more severe inflammatory infections. It is recommended to adopt a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatments, using traditional Chinese medicine products like Gynecological Qianjin Tablets (capsules), which can reduce inflammation while also enhancing the body's immune system.
