Patient's question:
I have 84mm of pelvic effusion. My gynecologist recommended that I have a pelvic puncture. Can traditional Chinese medicine help regulate this? For my condition, should I rely on traditional Chinese medicine treatment or Western medicine treatment for relief?Doctor's answer:
There needs to be integration of how clinical symptoms manifest, such as abdominal pain, and how secretions continuously increase, as well as a gynecological examination by the doctor. It is necessary to clarify whether it is acute pelvic inflammatory disease that has been brought on. If it has been confirmed as acute pelvic inflammatory disease, it is recommended to base the treatment on Western medicine's anti-inflammatory and symptomatic relief, while implementing treatment with Chinese medicine enemas. Regular follow-up tests should be conducted to monitor how the accumulation of fluid increases. Personal dietary habits should be regular, with a preference for a light diet for safety.
