Patient's question:
A friend is suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease. They have been treated for a while, but it's still not showing any signs of improvement. Do you have any herbal medicine prescriptions for pelvic inflammatory disease from an experienced traditional Chinese medicine practitioner?Doctor's answer:
Most pelvic inflammatory diseases are chronic, as the condition has been present for a long time, making it stubborn to treat. In treatment, Chinese herbal medicine is typically used according to a prescribed course, with at least three months of continuous medication. There is no fixed formula for herbal medicine to treat pelvic inflammatory disease; the use of herbs is relatively flexible. Generally, the herbs are adjusted based on your body's balance of cold, heat, and deficiency or excess. However, the primary focus is on anti-inflammatory and blood-activating herbs to promote blood circulation and resolve stagnation.
