Patient's question:
After my period, my stomach hurts really badly, just like when I'm on my period. I used to have pelvic inflammatory disease, and I took some Huahong tablets and used some polyphenol sulfone vaginal suppositories myself. After using them for a day, there was still some bleeding. I don't know why. Now, every time I go to the bathroom, there are a few drops of blood. What should I do? Should I stop the medication or wait and see?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) refers to the inflammation of the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and surrounding tissues. In a narrower sense, PID specifically refers to inflammation of the female internal reproductive organs. It is a common gynecological condition and one of the causes of infertility. It can be caused by improper uterine procedures, gynecological infections, or can be spread by conditions such as peritonitis or appendicitis. However, if patients with acute PID do not receive thorough treatment, it can easily become chronic, making treatment more challenging. Additionally, many women find that it severely interferes with the quality of their sexual life. It is recommended not to take anti-inflammatory drugs for a long time, as this can lead to drug resistance and dysbiosis, potentially causing more severe inflammatory infections. Consider taking the Chinese herbal medicine Gynecological Qianjin Tablets (capsules) orally, which can effectively treat the condition.
