Patient's question:
I was admitted to the hospital 25 days ago for acute pelvic inflammatory disease. During the internal examination, both fallopian tubes were significantly enlarged and could be clearly felt with the hand. The pain was very severe. I was discharged 18 days later, but during the internal examination upon discharge, there was still abdominal tenderness. Today, I started my menstrual period. How should I follow the menstrual cycle and focus on getting intravenous saline treatment?Doctor's answer:
When suffering from appendicitis and the effectiveness of medication is not very satisfactory, physical therapy can be used in conjunction with treatment, such as the use of laser, microwave, or ion permeation therapy. Physical therapy can enhance local blood circulation, stabilize the body's nutritional status, and reduce the body's metabolic rate, thereby helping to resolve and subside inflammation. In addition to treating appendicitis, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
