Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. How much does it cost to treat pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is considered to be pelvic inflammatory disease. Generally, it may present with recurrent lower abdominal pain, fever, and increased vaginal discharge. The abdominal pain is often persistent, aggravated by activity, or relieved by sexual intercourse. Ultrasound may show fluid-filled areas. Treatment typically involves antibiotic medication. Mild cases can often be treated with outpatient intravenous fluids. Commonly used medications include ofloxacin, ceftriaxone sodium, or the combination of third-generation cephalosporins and metronidazole. Severe cases may require hospitalization, where high-protein, high-calorie, high-vitamin liquid or semi-liquid diets are provided, along with digestive fluids. Medications such as penicillin, metronidazole, second-generation cephalosporins, and ofloxacin with metronidazole may be used. For patients with abscesses, surgical treatment may be performed.
