Patient's question:
I feel a pain in my lower abdomen, abnormal discharge with a smell, and sometimes it also hurts near my pelvis after having sex with my husband. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was diagnosed as pelvic inflammatory disease. Currently, I am undergoing treatment, but this month I want to get pregnant. I don't know if pelvic inflammatory disease affects pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
It is best to treat pelvic inflammatory disease before getting pregnant to avoid adverse effects on fetal growth. Currently, Western medicine has no effective treatment methods, while traditional Chinese medicine offers better results with no harm to the body and no impact on future pregnancies. Organized traditional Chinese medicine treatment for pelvic inflammatory disease, combining oral and topical medications, yields more significant effects and ensures no recurrence after recovery. In addition to treating pelvic inflammatory disease, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet and maintain a cheerful mood in daily life to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
