Patient's question:
I used to have pelvic inflammatory disease, and now it has flared up. How should I be treated? Due to this illness, my family is very anxious right now. What should I actually do?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is one of the common gynecological diseases, divided into chronic and acute types. If acute PID is treated promptly, thoroughly, and effectively, it is often curable. If treatment is delayed, it can become chronic. This type of PID often leads to infertility in women. However, the condition can be stubborn, and during periods of weakened immunity, acute recurrence may occur. Since PID often disrupts quality of life and sexual relations due to prolonged duration and can lead to infertility or even tumors, incomplete treatment is also prone to recurring. Therefore, treatment for this disease must be thorough. It is recommended to adopt a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, which will not cause drug resistance and yields better results.
