Patient's question:
I get menstrual cramps every time I have my period, and my lower back also hurts very much. Sometimes even my shoulder and back feel a dull ache. I thought it might be irregular menstruation and took a lot of traditional Chinese medicine, but the symptoms did not improve. Last time, a doctor mentioned that these symptoms might be chronic salpingitis. What kind of help I need: What medicine should I take for chronic salpingitis?Doctor's answer:
Lower back pain or shoulder/back pain should be considered for potential issues with the liver, gallbladder, or spleen. It's necessary to undergo a fasting MRI examination of the liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, and kidneys. If the pain only occurs during the menstrual period, it's not a serious concern. The symptoms of fallopian tube inflammation will never only occur during the menstrual period. Therefore, an ultrasound should be performed to check for the possibility of endometrial implants. If a gynecological examination confirms tenderness in the adnexal area, traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be administered.
