Patient's question:
Often, there is a feeling of fullness and pressure in the lower abdomen, and taking a few boxes of anti-inflammatory medicine helps. It always recurs. Can chronic pelvic inflammatory disease heal on its own?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is often caused by neglecting personal hygiene during sexual activity. It can lead to symptoms such as lower abdominal pain and bloating, as well as increased menstrual flow and vaginal discharge. It may also result in blocked fallopian tubes, uterine adhesions, and interfere with menopause and pregnancy.After confirming PID, it is recommended not to take anti-inflammatory medications for a long time, as this can lead to drug resistance and dysbiosis, potentially causing more severe infections. Instead, a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine is advised, which will not cause drug resistance and yields better treatment outcomes. Chinese medicine often recommends gynecological anti-inflammatory medications. Generally, 3-4 treatment courses are needed, with 2-3 courses for milder cases. Each course lasts 14 days, helping to stabilize tissue nutrition and improve metabolism.
