Patient's question:
Because of pelvic inflammatory disease, I received an intravenous drip and took softening and resolving herbs, which led to diarrhea. Now it has improved somewhat, but I now feel difficulty urinating, with red and hot symptoms, itching in the external genital area, facial breakouts, and a cool sensation below the waist, as well as sore and weak knees and waist. What should I do now??? The tongue coating is white and thick. Should I take Jin Gui or Zhi Bai?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, difficulty urinating and redness/heat indicate a urinary tract infection. It is recommended that you take Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan, drink more water to increase urination, and avoid extremely cold, spicy, and irritating foods during medication. Eat light and easily digestible foods, pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear frequently, and maintain clean and dry external genitalia. Pelvic inflammatory disease is not easy to recover from. Friends with this condition should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism, as this can boost their confidence in fighting the disease and help them achieve recovery.
