Patient's question:
Before the pregnancy test, it was said that there was pelvic inflammation. Then an abortion was performed. After the menstrual period came, there was pain on both sides. After drinking three days of traditional Chinese medicine, the pain continued to worsen. Then intravenous fluids were administered for three days. I would like to ask, how long does it take to treat pelvic inflammation after childbirth?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) includes salpingitis and oophoritis, and these two conditions are common causes of infertility, requiring timely treatment. The effectiveness of single therapy for PID is poor, so a comprehensive evaluation and treatment approach is recommended. When selecting medications, they should be chosen based on the pathogen detected in cervical secretions to facilitate appropriate medication use. During medication, physical therapies such as shortwave, ultrashortwave, microwave, laser, and iontophoresis can be used in conjunction. The warmth generated by physical therapy can enhance local pelvic circulation, stabilize tissue nutrition, reduce metabolism, and promote the resolution and regression of inflammation. Of course, these are guiding principles, and the final decision should be made by the treating physician. Additionally, during the treatment of PID, besides immediate medical intervention, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important.
