Patient's question:
I found out last time that I had vaginitis and a urinary tract infection. Later, I occasionally felt a slight pain on both sides of my navel, but it wasn't very painful. I had a pelvic CT and the results for the pelvis and appendages were normal. Could there be other causes?Doctor's answer:
Based on the patient's description and clinical diagnostic symptoms, the patient may be experiencing pelvic inflammatory disease. The recommendation for the patient is to go to a formal hospital for a thorough abdominal ultrasound examination. After diagnosing pelvic inflammatory disease, systemic use of ceftriaxone injection via intravenous administration can be considered. Locally, options such as heat therapy or red light microwave treatment can be explored. Vaginal inflammation can cause significant interference to the patient, so it is important to seek medical attention promptly upon noticing symptoms. Additionally, proper self-care and education should be emphasized.
