Patient's question:
I had a uterine procedure on the 6th of last month and developed postoperative symptoms of appendicitis. After a period of treatment, the doctor prescribed oral and rectal medications for me, saying that it would be fine once finished. However, now that I have my period, can I take the appendicitis medication during my period?Doctor's answer:
With adnexitis, oral medication can be taken during menstruation, but topical medication can be temporarily stopped and resumed after menstruation ends. Daily treatment for adnexitis primarily involves medication. Patients can take oral medications and supplement with vitamins. Additionally, dietary adjustments are recommended, such as consuming light, soft, and liquid foods, and appropriately increasing protein intake. Protein-rich foods, such as eggs, help in recovery and prevent muscle loss.
