What are some good treatment options for pelvic inflammatory disease?

Patient's question:

In April 2014, I felt stomach pain and had vaginitis, but it quickly improved. The pain was intermittent and not very intense.

Doctor's answer:

1. Drug treatment
Antibiotics are the primary treatment for acute pelvic inflammatory disease, including various routes of administration such as intravenous infusion, intramuscular injection, or oral administration. Broad-spectrum antibiotics should be used in combination with anti-anaerobic drugs, and the course of treatment should be sufficient. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be combined to achieve better efficacy.
2. Surgical treatment
Surgery is recommended for conditions such as hydrosalpinx or tubo-ovarian cysts with masses; small infectious foci that repeatedly cause inflammation are also suitable for surgical intervention. The principle of surgery is to achieve complete cure, avoiding the possibility of residual lesions recurring. Appendectomy or salpingectomy may be performed. For young women, ovarian function should be preserved as much as possible. Since single therapy is often ineffective for chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, a comprehensive treatment approach is preferable.
