Patient's question:
The more detailed the description, the higher the quality of the doctor's response. I want to ask, 20 days ago after an abortion under anesthesia, I contracted mycoplasma and developed pelvic inflammation, experiencing lower back pain and lower abdominal pain. I went to the hospital for treatment, which included herbal enemas, microwave therapy, and intravenous drips for several days. On the fourth day, I felt better, but on the fifth day when I went back for treatment, I noticed increased vaginal discharge with blood streaks and lower back pain. What could be the reason? What is the cause of mycoplasma infection and pelvic inflammation with lower back pain and lower abdominal pain after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) refers to the inflammation of the female pelvic reproductive organs, the connective tissues surrounding the uterus, and the pelvic peritoneum. Chronic PID is often a result of inadequate treatment during the acute phase. In fact, the female reproductive system has natural protective functions, which can normally resist bacterial invasion. PID may recur only when the body's resistance increases or when the natural protective functions of the female reproductive system are compromised due to other reasons. Patients with PID are prone to fatigue, lower abdominal discomfort, pain, and sacral pain, which often worsen during physical exertion, sexual intercourse, and before or after menstruation. It is recommended to adopt a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for treatment, as this approach will not lead to drug resistance and yields better results. Women's Golden Pill (capsules) is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine for gynecological conditions. Generally, 3-4 treatment cycles are recommended, with 2-3 cycles for those with milder conditions. Each cycle lasts 14 days. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited during menstruation.
