Patient's question:
Pelvic effusion sometimes causes lower back pain. During this year's health check-up, it was said that there is muscle strain in the lumbar muscle, so I don't know whether the lower back pain is caused by muscle strain or by the inflammatory condition of the effusion.Doctor's answer:
This situation is likely caused by pelvic inflammatory disease or cervical inflammation. Both can lead to lower abdominal discomfort and aching pain in the lumbar and sacral regions. I recommend you have a cervical TCT and HPV test based on your cervical discharge test. If cervical inflammation or pelvic inflammation is detected, it could be the cause of your symptoms. You can start by treating the pelvic inflammation. If the diagnosis is confirmed, you can receive intravenous drip treatment with metronidazole injection combined with levofloxacin injection for anti-inflammatory and symptomatic relief. You can use Jie'eryin liquid to clean the groin area and maintain lower body hygiene. Oral administration of Yao Tong Ning oral liquid can help treat lumbar muscle strain. Additionally, you can consider traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and physiotherapy.
