Patient's question:
Recently, I often feel lower abdominal and waist pain, especially it gets worse after sitting for a long time. I have to lie down and rest for a while to relieve it. Besides, during my period, my stomach hurts very badly. After doing some research, I found that this is very similar to pelvic inflammatory disease. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms and treatment methods of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
The main manifestations of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease include chronic lower abdominal pain, a sense of heaviness and distension in the lower abdomen, menstrual abnormalities, and in severe cases, it can lead to infertility or ectopic pregnancy. The primary treatment for chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is the use of antibiotics, with the duration of medication determined by the severity of the condition. If pelvic abscess or fallopian tube abscess reoccurs and drug treatment is ineffective, surgery may be necessary.In addition, during the treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. Patients must maintain a positive mood and eat a balanced diet to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery from pelvic inflammatory disease.
