Patient's question:
Doctor, I have been menopausal for three years, but now I have a dull pain in the middle of my lower abdomen after menopause. Is it normal?Doctor's answer:
If you have already gone through menopause and experience pain in the center of the lower abdomen again, it is commonly caused by chronic pelvic pain due to pelvic inflammatory disease. It is necessary to undergo a thorough examination with ultrasound to confirm the presence of pelvic effusion. If there is significant pelvic effusion, enhanced anti-inflammatory treatment is required, and in some cases, aspiration of the effusion may be necessary. If it is chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, combining traditional Chinese medicine enemas, low-frequency therapy, red light, and microwave therapy can help promote inflammation absorption. Pay attention to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia, and a light diet should be the foundation.
