Patient's question:
I had some menstrual issues for a while, but recently, my periods have gradually become less frequent. The people around me say it might be pelvic inflammatory disease, but how can I know if I really have it?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is divided into acute PID and chronic PID. Patients with PID may experience increased vaginal discharge, lower back pain, or recurrent lower abdominal pain. Ultrasound examination may reveal pelvic effusion, and severe cases may present with symptoms such as elevated body temperature. PID is generally associated with chronic infections, and it is recommended to use standardized medication for thorough treatment. Herbal medicine that clears heat and promotes diuresis, as well as anti-inflammatory drugs, can be used in combination.
