Patient's question:
Doctor, I am married, I have ovarian cysts and endometrial polyps. I have been experiencing long-term lower left abdominal pain and sharp pain, sometimes accompanied by lower back pain, but the cause has never been identified. After undergoing a colonoscopy and a color Doppler ultrasound, the doctor recommended I see a gynecologist. A few days ago, I visited a gynecologist, and now I have been diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease. I am still married, and the diagnosis was made during a rectal examination. I always feel very fatigued and have abdominal pain, and I often lack energy after work. I feel unwell, and my underwear is always filled with bloody discharge. When I was treating the condition, I felt too embarrassed to tell the doctor about the bloody and yellow discharge. The doctor only prescribed medication for me. I wanted to ask you, doctor, in addition to this medication, is there anything else I can take? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Taking one medication is sufficient. If you want to add more medication, you need to carefully examine your secretions. Avoid overexertion and exposure to cold in daily life. You can apply cold compresses to the lower abdomen to alleviate symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease. Pay attention to dietary nutrition, maintain a regular lifestyle, balance work and rest, and enhance your disease-fighting ability. In addition to timely treatment, patients with ovarian cysts also need to pay attention to maintaining proper dietary habits in daily life to digest nutrients effectively.
