Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain and a discharge with a bad odor. I thought it might be a vaginal infection, so I bought some cleaning solution and used it. But it didn't work, so I went to the hospital for a gynecological examination, and it turned out to be pelvic inflammatory disease. Could you please tell me how to treat pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, increased vaginal discharge, and a foul odor. After being diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease, you can take various anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. Since pelvic inflammatory disease is prone to recurrence, it is essential to pay attention to personal hygiene and change underwear promptly during the treatment period. Rectal medication can also be considered simultaneously, which can significantly improve the treatment effect. During the treatment period, a light diet is recommended.
