Patient's question:
Two weeks ago, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. I have been taking medication ever since, and in recent days, my leukorrhea has turned grayish-brown.Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is highly dangerous and can be classified as acute or chronic. Chronic PID is often a result of inadequate treatment of acute PID, while acute PID is mostly caused by bacterial downward transmission. If PID is not treated promptly, it can lead to female infertility. Long-term medication can cause drug resistance and dysbiosis, leading to more severe inflammatory infections. It is recommended to adopt a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for treatment, as it can reduce inflammation while also lowering the body's immune system.
