Patient's question:
Help doctors, I developed pelvic inflammatory disease 20 days after an abortion. Three days later, I went to see a doctor who prescribed Fuyanjin capsules, Amoxicillin and Potassium L?vulinate (4:1) dispersible tablets, and a herbal suppository for the vagina. Today, my lower back is even more severely painful, and my lower abdomen on both sides hurts, as if there's something hard inside. Doctors, is my condition serious? Do I need surgery? How can I be cured completely? I look forward to your explanation. Thank you in advance. Should I go to the hospital immediately in my current condition?Doctor's answer:
Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is mostly of the damp-heat type, and the treatment principle is to clear heat and resolve dampness. The foundation is to activate blood and remove blood stasis. The herbal formula includes: Salvia miltiorrhiza, Radix Paeoniae Rubra, Muxiang, Persicae Semen, Lonicera japonica, Taraxacum mongolicum, Poria, Moutan Cortex, and Rehmannia glutinosa. When the pain is severe, Corydalis Tuber is added. Some patients are of the cold congealing and qi stagnation type, and the treatment principle is to warm the meridians, dispel cold, and activate qi to promote blood circulation. The modified Guizhi Fuling Decoction is commonly used.In addition, during the treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease, in addition to timely treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of pelvic inflammatory disease.
