Patient's question:
All of us delayed going to the hospital for an ultrasound. The results showed fluid in the fallopian tubes, and the doctor said it was a bit of pelvic. The cervical mucus test result was 2, indicating some vaginitis, so the doctor prescribed medication for vaginitis. However, he said I should come back to the hospital during my period to take the medication for three days. If I have pelvic, will it delay my period? Besides, if I take the medication for three days, what kind of injection will it be? How much does one injection cost? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a common gynecological condition. If left untreated, it can lead to the spread of inflammation to various physiological parts of the body and cross-infection, while also causing many complications, and may even result in malignant inflammation in certain areas. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is a condition that is relatively well-suited for treatment with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), while Western medicine has limited effective methods. It is recommended not to take anti-inflammatory drugs for a long period of time, as this can lead to drug resistance and dysbiosis, potentially causing more severe inflammatory infections. It is advisable to adopt a combination of TCM and Western medicine for treatment, which will not cause drug resistance and can achieve better therapeutic effects. Recommended Chinese herbal medicine includes Qifeng Qianjin Pian (capsules). Generally, it is recommended to take 3-4 courses of treatment, with 2-3 courses for those with milder conditions. Each course lasts for 14 days.
