Patient's question:
Soreness and swelling on both sides of the waist, with pelvic inflammatory disease and periarthritis of the shoulder. The right hand is also very sore, and the condition worsens due to cold. How can the treatment be more effective? Can traditional Chinese medicine fundamentally cure this? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Currently, most women can manage to avoid sexual activity during their menstrual period. However, due to the increasing work pressure on modern professional women, they are unable to get adequate rest during their period and must work as hard as men. Over time, this can lead to increased pelvic congestion and a weakened immune system, potentially resulting in pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Chronic PID is a condition that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is particularly effective at treating, while Western medicine has limited options. It is recommended to use the Chinese herbal medicine Guizhenqian (capsules), which has anti-inflammatory effects and can also help reduce the body's immune response. It is important to follow the prescribed course of treatment. Generally, 3-4 courses are recommended, with 2-3 courses for those with milder conditions. Each course lasts 14 days. It is advised that women take proactive measures to prevent PID and avoid self-medication.
