Patient's question:
I felt pain during urination in August this year, and in September I had an abortion. At that time, I had two days of physical therapy, and then I didn't feel any discomfort. Recently, I've noticed a foul odor in my lower abdomen. Today, I had a thorough check-up, and the doctor said I have bacterial vaginosis and pelvic inflammatory disease. In the afternoon, I had physical therapy.Previous Treatment and Effect: I just finished four bottles of injections, along with physical therapy and pelvic treatment.
What kind of help I need: The doctor said I need to do one week of physical therapy. I would like to consult if there are topical medications or oral medications that can replace it. Doing one week of cleaning is too expensive for me; it costs 645 yuan per day, which would be thousands of yuan for a week.
Doctor's answer:
Bacterial vaginosis and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) can be managed without physical therapy due to financial constraints, and topical medications and oral medications can be used instead. PID primarily requires standard treatment, focusing on anti-inflammatory and detoxifying measures, such as drinking more water and eating less spicy food. Oral medications like Gongyanping tablets, Huarong tablets, tinidazole, and cephalexin capsules can be used. For bacterial vaginosis, metronidazole can be used for vaginal irrigation, ofloxacin suppositories can be inserted into the vagina, and gynecological liquid can be diluted for external washing or sitz baths. Generally, the treatment for PID takes a longer time, but with patience, these methods are considered effective.
