Patient's question:
Pelvic inflammatory disease has been a long time. I learned from a friend that taking traditional Chinese medicine orally and applying ointments is quite good. May I ask if it's okay?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is often caused by neglecting personal hygiene during sexual activity. It can lead to symptoms such as lower abdominal pain and bloating, as well as increased menstrual flow and vaginal discharge. It may also cause fallopian tube blockage, uterine adhesions, and interfere with menopause and pregnancy.After being diagnosed with PID, it is recommended not to take anti-inflammatory drugs for a long period, as this can lead to drug resistance and dysbiosis, potentially causing more severe infections. A combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine is advised. To prevent re-infection or cross-infection, it is essential for the male partner to maintain good sexual hygiene.
PID is a difficult condition to fully resolve. Patients should always maintain a positive attitude and face it with optimism.
