Patient's question:
My wife developed pelvic inflammatory disease after giving birth and has been undergoing treatment ever since. It has been a year now, and she hasn’t recovered yet. It should be chronic by now. We have been seeing both Western and traditional Chinese medicine doctors, but she hasn’t improved recently despite taking traditional Chinese medicine. She experiences cold abdominal pain that sometimes stops and sometimes continues, along with lower back bloating and pain. She also has frequent urination with yellow urine and increased, thin white discharge. Previously, her discharge was yellow, but it has turned white after taking traditional Chinese medicine. Her menstrual periods have blood clots.Hello, Doctor, do you have any good prescriptions for her chronic pelvic inflammatory disease? Please help me—how should my wife be treated for pelvic inflammatory disease after giving birth?
Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned can be treated with local cold compress and massage. You can take medications like Azithromycin dispersible tablets and Xiaoyao pills, and wait and see. Pay attention to drinking more water and avoid alcohol and spicy foods. Patients with pelvic inflammatory disease can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment while understanding professional medical care. Proper diet should be maintained in daily life to avoid stimulating foods. Rest more and avoid overexertion.
