Patient's question:
I have abnormal white discharge, and it also comes with a bad odor. There is itching and pain in the lower body. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was an infection and inflammation of the fallopian tubes. I want to consult the doctor, can the fallopian tubes be treated with penicillin for inflammation? What are the side effects?Doctor's answer:
If it is confirmed that the abnormal vaginal discharge is caused by tubal inflammation, accompanied by a bad odor. The efficacy of penicillin-class drugs is not particularly good, as genital infections are commonly caused by Gram-negative bacteria. Penicillin, as a narrow-spectrum antibacterial drug, is not very effective against Gram-negative bacterial infections. Cephalosporin-class antibiotics, or levofloxacin, metronidazole, etc., can be used for treatment. Tubal disease is a gynecological condition that is prone to recurrence. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay close attention to cleanliness.
