Why does chronic pelvic inflammatory disease not heal with treatment? Will it have sequelae?

Patient's question:

Patient: Female, 42 years old, had pelvic inflammatory disease two years ago, and this episode has lasted for more than half a year. She has been experiencing a persistent sensation of rectal fullness and localized lower abdominal pain. Symptoms alleviate before and after menstruation. She is following up at the district hospital.
History of treatment and effectiveness: Taken Chinese and Western medicine, but the effect is not very significant.
Desired help: Can this disease be completely cured on its own? Will there be long-term sequelae if it persists?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Pelvic effusion is caused by chronic inflammation, and if the effusion persists for a long time, it may lead to cysts or other inflammatory conditions in the appendages. This disease is one of the common gynecological conditions, and there is a certain risk of recurrence after recovery, mainly related to personal hygiene habits. It is recommended to take levofloxacin + metronidazole and persist in treatment for a week. It is suggested to actively seek treatment upon discovering the problem and undergo regular health check-ups periodically to identify and address issues promptly.
