Patient's question:
I would like to ask if, while being treated with enemas for pelvic inflammatory disease, it is possible to apply Xiangfu Huayu patch externally. Will this cause any side effects?Doctor's answer:
It is possible that enema can be used as an auxiliary treatment for pelvic inflammatory disease. In the enema, physiological saline and anti-inflammatory drugs need to be added, which are absorbed through the rectum to reach the pelvic area, thereby treating pelvic inflammation. Additionally, during enema treatment, systemic anti-infective drugs should also be administered for better efficacy. When acute pelvic inflammatory disease occurs, active treatment must be given to prevent the development of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, which may lead to lower abdominal pain, lumbosacral discomfort, and secondary infertility.
