Doctor's answer:

Hello, for patients with pelvic inflammation 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 via intravenous drip after the menstrual cycle ends. If there are pelvic masses or severe inflammation with frequent relapses, surgical treatment may be a viable option. Additionally, physical therapies such as shortwave, ultrashortwave, infrared, and drug iontophoresis can improve pelvic blood circulation and aid in the resolution of inflammation, and may be used as appropriate. Chinese herbal medicines that promote blood circulation and clear heat-toxin can also be considered on a case-by-case basis.
