Patient's question:
Before, I felt lower back pain and abdominal bloating. After a thorough examination at the hospital, they said there was fluid accumulation in the pelvis, which was pelvic inflammatory disease. After about 10 days of treatment, I had a menstrual period. Afterwards, I took traditional Chinese medicine for 2 weeks. In total, I took medication for 4 weeks, with one week being Western medicine and three weeks being traditional Chinese medicine. Now, I feel that it's basically normal. How long does it take for pelvic inflammatory disease to be cured?Doctor's answer:
Considering your current condition, recurrent chronic pelvic inflammatory does not generally require antibiotic treatment. You can choose to use traditional Chinese medicine that promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis, as well as clears heat and detoxifies. Typically, 3-4 courses of treatment are recommended, with 2-3 courses for those with milder conditions, each lasting 14 days. This can effectively treat chronic pelvic inflammation and significantly alleviate symptoms such as abnormal vaginal discharge (yellow in color, with a foul odor), excessive menstrual flow, prolonged periods, and continuous leakage; as well as lower abdominal pain, lumbosacral soreness, and dysmenorrhea. Pelvic inflammation can greatly affect patients, so it is important to seek medical attention promptly upon noticing any symptoms.
