Patient's question:
Lower abdominal discomfort, during the treatment for pelvic inflammatory disease, can a cervical screening be performed? The tests for leukorrhea, Mycoplasma, and ultrasound were all normal, but the gynecologist found tenderness during the examination. Currently, I am taking Chinese medicine for regulation, but it hasn't improved yet. Can the screening be performed?Doctor's answer:
Lower abdominal discomfort, with tenderness symptoms during gynecological examination, there is a high possibility of pelvic inflammatory disease. If pelvic inflammatory disease is present, active anti-inflammatory treatment should be initiated. Western antibiotics can be used, and they can be combined with traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying to implement treatment.The anti-aging screening tests for cervical cancer include tCT and HPV tests. As long as the uterus and vagina are not broken, these tests can be performed at any time. There is no need to wait for the pelvic inflammatory disease to heal before conducting the tests.
There are many treatment methods for pelvic inflammatory disease, but since the patient's condition varies, the diagnostic methods used will also differ. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely examination and diagnosis to receive symptomatic treatment.
