Patient's question:
I am in very poor health. I experience frequent bloating and pain in my lower abdomen, urgency and frequency of urination, and excessive vaginal discharge with a bad odor. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with severe pelvic inflammatory disease. Treatment requires the use of traditional Chinese medicine enemas to be administered, so I am working together with the doctor for treatment. What is the posture for traditional Chinese medicine enemas for pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
During the Chinese herbal enema for pelvic inflammatory disease, the patient can choose to lie on their side. Pour the medication into a disposable enema bag, then close the button. Apply lubricant to the tube, gently insert it into the anus, and insert it to a depth of about 20 centimeters. Then lift the bag and quickly open the button, allowing the medication to flow in. After half an hour, the patient can sit up or lie flat. The medication should remain in the intestines for at least 30 minutes, and if no bowel movement is needed, it can be retained for up to three days before defecation. Pelvic inflammatory disease causes significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and pay close attention to self-care. Eat more vegetables and fruits, avoid foods, and hope that patients with pelvic inflammatory disease can receive professional treatment.
