Can you please check if this oral herbal formula can be used for enema?
Doctor's answer:
It can be used for enemas. However, its effectiveness is not as good as that of oral administration. This is because the drug refinement is not as extensive as with oral medication. Oral medications can be used for enemas as well, but the refinement process differs. If you choose to treat with enemas, it is advisable to maintain the medication for a longer duration to allow for more thorough refinement, which will yield better results for your condition. Wishing you a speedy recovery. For severe pelvic inflammatory disease patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or over-the-counter drugs, as this may worsen the condition. The above opinions are for reference only. It is hoped that the answer above will be helpful to you. Thank you.
