Patient's question:
Which one, pelvic effusion or candidal vaginitis, can cause blood in vaginal discharge?Doctor's answer:
For patients with pelvic inflammatory disease who experience severe lower abdominal pain and show significant pelvic inflammatory signs during gynecological examinations, broad-spectrum antibiotics such as penicillins and cephalosporins, combined with metronidazole (Flagyl), can be administered intravenously after menstruation. If the pelvic area has masses or the inflammation is severe and recurrent, surgical treatment may be appropriate. Additionally, physical therapies such as shortwave, ultrashortwave, infrared radiation, and drug iontophoresis can improve pelvic blood circulation and aid in the resolution of inflammation, and may be used as needed. Chinese herbal medicines that promote blood circulation and clear heat-toxin can also be considered.
