Patient's question:
My friend has been experiencing lower back pain and neck pain whenever they bend over recently! I don't know what the cause is, or how to treat it! What kind of medicine should they take? Could the neck pain be from a stiff neck? What other reasons could cause lower back pain and neck pain? My period is also delayed by 4 days and hasn't arrived yet! I tested last night, and it showed that I'm not pregnant!I have had pelvic inflammatory disease before! How can I prevent pelvic inflammatory disease? How should it be treated? Are there any good methods or effective medications? I hope the doctor can provide guidance! Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Hello, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) refers to an infection of the uterus (uterus), fallopian tubes (tubes connecting the uterus, ovaries, and eggs), and other reproductive organs, causing symptoms such as lower abdominal pain. It is a type of sexually transmitted disease (STD), especially severe complications such as chlamydia and gonorrhea. It can damage nearby structures like the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and tissues. It can lead to serious consequences, including infertility, ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy occurring outside the fallopian tubes or elsewhere in the uterus), the formation of abscesses, and chronic pelvic pain. It is recommended to seek timely treatment, preferably using a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, as it does not lead to drug resistance and yields better results. The recommended medication is Ji Ke Qian Jin Pian (capsules), which can reduce inflammation while also boosting the immune system, effectively treating the condition and reducing the recurrence of inflammation. The most basic measure is to maintain good personal hygiene, prevent various routes of infection, keep the vulvar area clean and dry, and wash the external genitalia with clean water every night.
