Patient's question:
Now, after treatment, it still hurts. I received intravenous fluids for 20 days at the hospital. I have taken Gong Yan Ping tablets, applied heat therapy, had acupuncture, used mugwort steam therapy, and taken traditional Chinese medicine—tried every possible method, but the results are still not ideal. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a chronic bacterial infection. Based on your condition, it indeed can be quite troublesome, and the treatment outcomes have not been very ideal. Currently, the situation inside your pelvis is basically normal, and it might be considered to take a temporary break for a while. If you still feel that the sense of heaviness and fullness cannot be eliminated, it could be due to the relaxation of the uterine ligaments. Unfortunately, there isn't much that can be done about this, but appropriate exercise and rest might help for some individuals. In the future, some people may need ligament repair surgery or even a hysterectomy in addition to treating PID.
