Patient's question:
Got acute pelvic inflammatory disease and received treatment in the hospital for 4 days. It involved pelvic therapy, four vaginal treatments, enemas, and IV drips. In total, it cost 1,500 yuan. The doctor said it would only take two more days, then some medication to stabilize things. But now I really don’t have any money left. I also know that if it becomes chronic, it would be much worse. The white discharge test showed: cleanliness, 3 bars; pus cells, 1 bar; and one was 2 bars—I forgot which one, but it wasn’t yeast. I previously had bacterial vaginosis. What kind of medication should I take at home?Doctor's answer:
Many symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) can have a certain impact and harm on daily life and work. After suffering from PID, symptoms may include lower abdominal dull pain, muscle tension, tenderness and rebound tenderness, as well as a large amount of purulent discharge from the reproductive tract. PID is one of the gynecological diseases that is difficult to cure completely, so it is necessary to try to control symptoms and reduce the quality of life. When symptoms significantly worsen, active medication treatment should be administered. However, long-term use of anti-inflammatory drugs is not advisable, as it may lead to drug resistance and dysbiosis, potentially causing more severe inflammation and transmission. It is recommended to adopt a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment, using traditional Chinese medicine products such as Gynecological Qianjin Tablets (capsules).
