Patient's question:
Recently, the doctor prescribed Compound Qing Dai Injection and Metronidazole Tablets for abnormal vaginal discharge. I have been treated for 6 days. It seems like it was ovulation period the day before yesterday. Since the afternoon of that day, I've been experiencing lower abdominal bloating and pain on the right lower side, especially when I strain. The pain has been getting worse every day. Recently, I've been overeating, and there's some indigestion. I also have chronic gastritis. Previously, a thorough gynecological examination revealed only a bit of pelvic inflammation and adnexitis. I don't know whether the current pain in the lower right abdomen is caused by gastrointestinal issues or gynecological conditions. In the past, I've had similar symptoms, occurring at intervals, and I often feel like I can't pass stool smoothly when using the restroom. I strain, and the lower right abdomen hurts. I want to ask what might be causing this. I hope the doctor can respond as soon as possible. Thank you very much.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, an increase in leukorrhea and abdominal pain should be considered as possibly caused by pelvic inflammatory disease. However, right lower abdominal pain is not ruled out as appendicitis. It is necessary to conduct a thorough examination based on the situation, and after diagnosis, symptomatic treatment should be adopted. Abnormal leukorrhea poses significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, while also paying attention to self-care training, eating more fruits and vegetables, and avoiding irritating foods.
