Patient's question:
I used to have pelvic inflammatory disease and lower back pain. Later, I visited a gynecologist, and the pelvic inflammatory disease was gone, the lower back pain subsided, but only discomfort remained on the front side of my thigh root. When standing, I felt a slight soreness inside, but it wasn't obvious. However, when sitting, I felt numbness and pain on the outer side of my thigh root and buttocks. After fainting, pressing any part of the buttocks didn't cause tenderness. I had MRI and other orthopedic X-rays taken, and the doctor said everything with the bones was normal. Could it be piriformis syndrome? I've been to gynecologists and orthopedists, and even had acupuncture, but it didn't help at all~~ What should I do? The doctor also said it doesn't seem like piriformis syndrome, because this condition has a specific tender point, but I don't...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 physical health. It is not advisable to take anti-inflammatory drugs for a long time, as this can lead to drug resistance and dysbiosis, resulting in more severe inflammatory infections. It is recommended to actively breastfeed and avoid indulging in sexual activity. If sexual intercourse is not clean, pathogens can enter the pelvic cavity through the vagina, leading to infection. Women should take advantage of every possible opportunity to strengthen their exercise.
