Patient's question:
I have cervicitis and pelvic inflammatory disease. Why has my lower abdomen been hurting a lot these last two days?Doctor's answer:
The main symptom of chronic cervical inflammation is an increase in abnormal vaginal discharge, which can be milky, mucous-like, pale yellow purulent, or bloody. The amount, color, odor, and consistency of the discharge are related to the pathogenic bacteria and the severity of the inflammation. When the inflammation spreads downward to the pelvic cavity, patients may experience symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, dysmenorrhea, and pain in the waist and sacral region. It is not advisable to take anti-inflammatory drugs for a long time, as this can lead to drug resistance and dysbiosis, potentially causing more severe infections. It is recommended to adopt a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment, which will not cause drug resistance and will yield better therapeutic effects. Recommended traditional Chinese medicine: Gynecological Qianjin Tablets (capsules).
