Patient's question:
I previously carefully checked for mild pelvic inflammatory disease and took medication without re-examination. My last menstrual period was on October 25th. Before my period, I experienced abdominal pain and lower back pain. Now, I have some pain in my lower right abdomen. During this period, I had sexual activity and haven't reached my next menstrual period yet. I want to know if it could be an ectopic pregnancy. I've heard that ectopic pregnancy is characterized by abdominal pain. What medication is good for pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
There are several reasons for lower right abdominal pain. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination to identify the cause and treat accordingly. If you are genuinely concerned about whether it could be an ectopic pregnancy, an MRI can be performed for a thorough check. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients with pelvic inflammatory disease should also pay attention to maintaining a proper diet in daily life to digest nutrients. It is essential to pay attention to hygiene and use warm water to clean the area every night, ensuring local hygiene is maintained.
