What is the difference between pelvic inflammatory disease and adnexitis?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I had two pregnancies with my previous boyfriend, one through an abortion and the other with medication, both of which were successful. But I don't know why I always feel a dull pain in my lower right abdomen now, especially during my period. I don't dare tell my current boyfriend, and I have visited two hospitals, where one said it was appendicitis and the other said it was pelvic inflammation. What's going on? How should I be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Because pelvic inflammatory disease not only affects physical health, but also triggers various kinds of impacts, pelvic inflammatory disease can recur with lower abdominal heaviness, distension, and pain, as well as lower back and sacral soreness. Pelvic inflammatory disease often recurs repeatedly and does not heal easily. The harm of pelvic inflammatory disease can cause patients to experience negative emotions such as anxiety, irritability, and depression, as well as secondary sexual indifference and sexual aversion, affecting intimate relationships. Actively seek treatment and take Chinese herbal medicine for gynecological issues (capsules). Generally, it takes 3-4 courses of treatment, with 2-3 courses for those with milder conditions, with each course lasting 14 days.
