Patient's question:
Medical History Description Lower abdominal pain, lower back and sacral pain, leukorrhea with blood streaks, recent urinary frequency and dysuria. The symptoms become particularly severe after menstruation, sexual activity, or overexertion. I have been using an intrauterine device (IUD) for two years, and since then, the condition has gradually worsened over the past two years.Previous Treatment and Effectiveness I have been treated twice before. After taking medication, the symptoms resolved, but they recurred after menstruation.
Desired Help I would like to ask if I have pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)? What should I pay attention to? How can the treatment be most effective?
Doctor's answer:
Guidance on pelvic inflammatory disease primarily manifests as lower abdominal heaviness, distension, and pain, as well as lumbosacral soreness. It may be accompanied by increased leukorrhea, menstrual irregularities, infertility, dizziness, and fatigue. During gynecological examinations, inflammatory lesions or tender masses in the pelvic area may be observed. Please consult a TCM gynecology expert for syndrome differentiation and treatment based on the current condition. Over-the-counter Chinese patent medicines such as Gekongteng Syrup, Fule Granules, Gufuqianjin Tablets, and Fuyankang can be taken orally. Rectal medications like Yejuhua Suppositories and Kangfu Xiaoyan Suppositories may also be used. Various physical therapy methods, including laser acupoint irradiation, drug iontophoresis, shortwave therapy, microwave therapy, ultraviolet therapy, frequency spectrum therapy, hot water, acupuncture, and Chinese herbal enemas, can be employed. A comprehensive evaluation of these diverse treatment approaches is recommended.
