Patient's question:
I previously had pelvic inflammatory disease and stayed in the hospital for a while. Last week, I had mild lower abdominal pain and suspected that the condition had recurred. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor prescribed pills and antibiotics for me. I haven’t finished my 14-day course of medication yet. Yesterday, I suddenly had mild lower abdominal pain again, and today I felt the same symptoms as last week. What should I do? Did the medication not work?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) requires the intake of antibiotics, and if there is still pain yesterday, it may not be effective. In such cases, a follow-up ultrasound examination should be conducted. If there is no stability, intravenous treatment will be necessary. It is important to maintain cleanliness and hygiene. During the treatment of PID, in addition to immediate medical care, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. The patient must avoid excessive mental stress and worry to prevent unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of PID.
