Patient's question:
I have been feeling uncomfortable for a long time. Could you please explain what causes external genital itching and abnormal vaginal discharge?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is highly dangerous and can be classified as acute or chronic. Chronic PID is often a result of inadequate treatment of acute PID, while acute PID is primarily caused by bacterial downward transmission. If PID is not treated promptly, it can lead to female infertility. Long-term medication use can cause drug resistance and dysbiosis, leading to more severe inflammatory infections. It is recommended to adopt a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for treatment, while also paying close attention to dietary care. A diet based on light foods is advisable, avoiding cold and stimulating foods, as this is believed to help drive away PID.
