Patient's question:
Last time I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, it was found that I had pelvic inflammatory disease. The doctor prescribed two types of medicine: one is Western medicine for anti-inflammation, and the other is traditional Chinese medicine for anti-inflammation. After taking them, I didn't feel anything. This time during my period, I still occasionally have cramps on both sides of my lower abdomen and rectal cramps. It's been about 10 days since my period, but there's still a little brownish discharge every day.Doctor's answer:
If you have pelvic inflammatory disease, it is recommended to seek early treatment because if patients with pelvic inflammatory disease do not receive timely treatment, they are very likely to suffer from serious consequences such as diffuse peritonitis and septic shock. This will ultimately severely affect women's health. It is not advisable to take anti-inflammatory drugs for a long time, as it may lead to drug resistance and dysbiosis, triggering more severe inflammatory infections. It is recommended to adopt a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for treatment, which will not cause drug resistance and will yield better therapeutic effects. Generally, 3-4 courses of treatment are recommended, with 2-3 courses for those with milder conditions. Each course lasts for 14 days.
