Patient's question:
I have had pelvic inflammatory disease for over three months. Currently, my menstrual color is grayish-brown, the duration of the period is long, and the amount is low. Sometimes, my period comes back just a few days after it has ended.Treatment history and effectiveness: I am currently undergoing treatment with herbal enemas.
What kind of help do you need: Is it because of pelvic inflammatory disease that my menstrual color is abnormal and irregular bleeding occurs? Due to the long duration of my period, I rely on hemostatic medication. What should I do in this situation? Thank you for your explanation.
Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) refers to the inflammation of the female pelvic reproductive organs, the connective tissues surrounding the uterus, and the pelvic peritoneum. Typical symptoms include fever, lower abdominal pain that is resistant to pressure, excessive purulent vaginal discharge, fatigue, lower back pain, and menstrual disorders. Menstrual disorders are a common symptom of PID. It is better not to rely solely on topical medication, as it does not address the root cause and may lead to blood stasis or blood clots. It is advisable to first promote blood circulation and consider using modified Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction to alleviate the condition.
