Patient's question:
Delayed menstruation, lower abdominal pain, went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and it was said that there was pelvic effusion. Then, a 10-day drip anesthesia and Chinese medicine enema were administered. However, they also prescribed a week's worth of Chinese medicine, but there seemed to be no significant improvement. There has been persistent mild pain in the left lower abdomen, and the menstruation has already started. I want to know if it's okay to continue taking medicine to treat pelvic inflammation during the menstrual period?Doctor's answer:
Menstruation is a time when the aforementioned medications can be taken. The treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease often involves intravenous drips or medication during menstruation, which is generally more effective than usual. Additionally, during the treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. The patient must pay close attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary harm. Medications should only be taken according to the doctor's advice.
