Patient's question:
On the third day of my period, it started to hurt. Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it doesn't. I had difficulty defecating. By the fifth day, I started having diarrhea. Then my period ended, but the pain continued, along with difficulty defecating. It hurts sometimes and doesn't hurt other times. Now, after eating dinner at night, it hurts even more, and I still have diarrhea. I took Baoji pills, but the stomach still hurts, to the point where it makes my waist and legs feel weak. During the day, it's not as painful, but it's worse at night. Recently, my leukorrhea has also increased.Previous Treatment and Effects: None
Desired Help: I want to ask if this could be pelvic inflammatory disease?
Doctor's answer:
It is not excluded that the general causes of pelvic inflammatory disease are:1. Endogenous pathogens, such as the flora residing in the vagina, including aerobic and anaerobic bacteria.
2. Exogenous pathogens, mainly pathogens of sexually transmitted diseases, such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis, etc.
Treatment generally involves antibiotics, such as ofloxacin and metronidazole, cefoxitin sodium, etc. It can also be combined with the concurrent use of traditional Chinese medicine. In daily life, pay attention to adequate rest and a nutritious diet.
The daily treatment for patients with pelvic inflammatory disease is primarily symptomatic. Patients can take many oral medications, supplemented with various vitamins, and pay attention to a diet rich in light, soft, and easily digestible foods. We hope that patients with pelvic inflammatory disease can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
