Patient's question:
On June 7, I had an abortion surgery. On July 8, I experienced severe abdominal pain and went to the hospital for a thorough examination, which revealed cervical adhesion due to menstruation. I had another surgery in time. After the menstruation stopped, I had a slight pain in the left lower abdomen for about a week, but I ignored it. It has been more than a month now, and the pain has started again in the past few days. A thorough examination and lab tests showed candidal vaginitis and chronic pelvic inflammation. The doctor prescribed medication suppositories and injections for 4 days, in addition to Gong Yan Kang granules and Manji magnetic patches for the painful area. The medication is almost finished, and the injections are over, but the condition has not improved. Today, the pain on the right side is severe, and my lower back is in pain and I can't straighten up. Urgent...Past Treatment and Effects: None
Kind of Help Needed: Please provide the best possible treatment. What treatment can ensure a full recovery? Will it interfere with future fertility?
Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is caused by damp-heat stagnation, qi stagnation and blood stasis, cold-dampness stagnation, and qi deficiency and blood stasis. For damp-heat stagnation, Yin Jia Pill is used; for qi stagnation and blood stasis, Ge Xia Zhu Yu Tang; for cold-dampness stagnation, Man Pan Tang; and for qi deficiency and blood stasis, Li Chong Tang.Pelvic inflammatory disease greatly affects patients. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and pay close attention to self-care. Eat more vegetables and fruits, avoid foods, and hope that patients with pelvic inflammatory disease can receive professional treatment.
