Patient's question:
Is it better to use traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine for pelvic inflammatory disease and vaginal inflammation? Also, should I go to the gynecology department or the traditional Chinese medicine gynecology department for examination? Thank you, doctor, for answering me in time. And are these two diseases difficult to treat?Doctor's answer:
Hello, pelvic inflammatory disease refers to the inflammation of the female upper reproductive tract and surrounding tissues, with main conditions including salpingitis, fallopian tube cysts, endometritis, and pelvic peritonitis. It can be treated with medication. Long-term use of anti-inflammatory drugs may lead to drug resistance and dysbiosis, causing more severe inflammatory infections. Therefore, Chinese medicine combined with physical therapy or acupuncture is often used. Recommended Chinese medicine includes Fuyan Pills, which have anti-inflammatory effects and can also enhance the body's immunity. During treatment, it is important to pay attention to keeping warm, avoid eating cold and irritating foods, avoid overexertion, and get sufficient rest. If adequate rest is not obtained, over time it can easily lead to pelvic congestion, weakened resistance, and trigger pelvic inflammatory disease.
