Patient's question:
I went to the hospital in February for a thorough check-up and was told I had pelvic inflammatory disease. The doctor said it wasn't serious, so they gave me three days of progesterone injections and five days of anti-inflammatory medication. After taking ibuprofen, my period came, but it was heavy. When I went back for a follow-up in February, the doctor said there was still some left and told me to take a bit more medication. But my period still hasn't come. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a common gynecological condition. Gynecological diseases are prevalent and frequently occurring among women. However, due to a lack of awareness about gynecological issues, insufficient physical health care, and various unhealthy lifestyle habits, physical health problems are gradually increasing, leading to some women contracting gynecological diseases that are difficult to treat and persist over time. This causes significant inconvenience to their daily lives and work.Medicinal herbs like Gynecological Qianjin Tablets (capsules) can be used. Generally, it takes 3–4 treatment cycles, with 2–3 cycles for milder cases, with each cycle lasting 14 days. These medications can both anti-inflammatory and reduce the body's immunity, which allows for the root treatment of certain inflammatory conditions and may also increase the likelihood of inflammation recurrence.
It is recommended that patients pay close attention to local hygiene and maintain a diet based on light foods. Adequate rest is essential. If you push yourself to work excessively at this time, it may lead to PID.
