Patient's question:
Under the condition of medication, the stomach still hurts very much. It feels like menstrual cramps. The stomach pain is also accompanied by bloating. Even with medication, the pain persists. How can such pain be relieved?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is commonly classified into acute PID and chronic PID. If the acute phase is not treated thoroughly, it can progress to chronic PID. Therefore, active and comprehensive treatment should be administered during the acute phase, and treatment should not be discontinued merely because symptoms temporarily subside. At the same time, coordination in lifestyle adjustments and prevention efforts is essential to prevent recurrence.Additionally, if a person develops PID and the fallopian tubes are also affected, leading to tubal adhesions or complete blockage, it can impact future early pregnancy and result in infertility. However, if the inflammation is limited to the pelvic connective tissues and the fallopian tubes are unaffected, fertility will not be compromised. Medication-based treatment can be adopted, and integrated Chinese and Western medicine treatment offers significant advantages in this regard, as it is less likely to cause drug resistance. Chinese herbal medications for this condition include Qiguanqian Pill (capsules).
