Patient's question:
More than a year with chronic pelvic inflammation, I have taken Cefixime dispersible tablets (5 days), Levofloxacin (4 days), and Sipofen (8 days for anti-inflammatory purposes), and also undergone physical therapy. I have taken traditional Chinese medicine as well. After a break, now, but after menstruation, the symptoms worsen, and the abdominal pain intensifies.Hello, do I need a drug sensitivity test and a pathogen test? Can I follow the methods you explained online? What is the dosage? How many grams? Should I take it after meals? How long should I apply salt compresses? Do I only need the salt compresses, or should I follow your advice and take the medicine along with the salt compresses?
Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a common gynecological condition. If left untreated, it may lead to the spread of inflammation to various physiological parts and cross-infection, while also causing many complications, and even malignant inflammation in certain areas. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is a condition that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is particularly skilled in treating, while Western medicine has limited effective methods. It is recommended not to take it for a long time, as it may lead to drug resistance and dysbiosis, triggering more severe inflammatory infections. It is suggested to adopt a combination of TCM and Western medicine for treatment. The patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. The patient must pay attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary harm. It is hoped that the above information can assist you. Thank you.
