Patient's question:
Five days ago, my friend and I went on a trip. Suddenly, I felt pain in my lower abdomen, and my leukorrhea was also abnormal, very painful. After taking anti-inflammatory medication, it didn't improve. So, I rested at the hotel. My friend was very worried seeing me like this. She said it might be pelvic inflammatory disease. What are the symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) often presents with symptoms such as lower abdominal discomfort, lower back and sacral pain, and increased vaginal discharge. If PID is not treated promptly, it can even lead to infertility, so it is crucial to seek active treatment. During the acute phase, antibiotics are necessary, and they should be used correctly as prescribed by a doctor. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) contains excellent ingredients, such as bugleweed, Chinese skullcap, and patrinia, which can work in conjunction with antibiotics to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. For example, Kangfu Anti-inflammatory Suppositories are widely used in clinical practice.
