Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. It's especially bad during my period, and I'm very worried it might affect fertility. I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. What medication should I use if my pelvic inflammatory disease flares up again?Doctor's answer:
The main pathogens that cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) are: Staphylococcus, Escherichia coli, anaerobic bacteria, and sexually transmitted pathogens (such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma, and herpes simplex virus). PID is divided into two stages: the first stage is acute pelvic inflammatory disease, which is caused by bacterial infection. At this stage, antibiotics are used for treatment. Medication should be administered according to symptoms. If the correct medication is not used without confirming the cause, not only will it not be effective, but it may also delay the treatment opportunity.
