Patient's question:
My wife gave birth at the age of 34, which is considered advanced maternal age. After giving birth, she developed pelvic inflammatory disease. She has been taking medication for a week now, and according to her doctor, she should start seeing results after just three days of treatment. Now she also needs to breastfeed her child, but long-term medication is not good for the baby either. How long does it take to treat pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, pelvic inflammatory disease needs to be assessed based on its severity. Generally, intravenous infusion is more effective for treatment. Taking medication, on the other hand, takes longer to take effect and the treatment duration is slower. If the symptoms and inflammation are severe, I recommend that your partner go to the hospital and receive intravenous treatment under the guidance of a gynecologist. The doctor will determine the most effective treatment that has no impact on the baby based on your partner's condition. Medication treatment also needs to follow a prescribed course and should not be rushed, as the development of the disease requires a process.
