Patient's question:
My best friend and I are renting a house together. A few days ago, my best friend unexpectedly got pregnant and had an abortion surgery at the hospital. In the past two days, she said she has stomach pain, and the hospital's thorough examination revealed that she has pelvic inflammatory disease. After taking medication, there was no improvement. What should I do if medication doesn't work for pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, lower back pain, an increase in leukorrhea (vaginal discharge), and menstrual disorders. In severe cases, it may interfere with pregnancy. One of the main causes of PID is induced abortion surgery. Generally, medication can be taken under the guidance of a doctor. If the medication does not yield good results, intravenous antibiotics may be administered in the hospital. Herbal enema treatment may also be recommended.In addition to treating PID, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet and maintain a positive mood in daily life to enhance their physical condition and speed up recovery.
