Patient's question:
I have gynecological inflammation, and my legs also hurt. On the fifth day of my period, my left buttock hurts. Previously, when I took a bath, I noticed that my skin stings when it touches the water. Now that sensation isn't there anymore; it's just my left buttock hurting now. When I took a nap in the afternoon, I felt pain in the root of my thigh. On the sixth day, it switched to my right side hurting. It's the kind of pain that stings slightly when touched, a dull ache. This is the second time this has happened—what could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Recurring pain in the left buttock and upper thigh, it is preliminarily considered not caused by gynecological inflammation. It is recommended that you have a lumbar spine CT scan performed at the hospital to further clarify how the nerve pain is caused by lumbar spine inflammation. Then, based on the examination results, symptomatic treatment should be administered. For patients with gynecological inflammation, in addition to timely treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care training, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment, keeping the private area clean, avoiding sexual activity, and eating less spicy and irritating foods.
