Patient's question:
I've been having constant pain in my lower left abdomen for a year. I went to the hospital, bought many medications, but none of them worked. I also saw a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and the pain gets severe before my period each time.Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation requires timely treatment. Adnexitis is an infection of the fallopian tubes and ovaries caused by pathogenic microorganisms invading the reproductive organs. It is a common disease, often resulting from poor hygiene during menstruation, sexual intercourse during menstruation, or bacterial entry during induced abortion. Adnexitis is divided into acute and chronic forms. Acute cases are easier to cure, while chronic cases are difficult to but can still lead to pregnancy and childbirth. It is important to promptly visit a hospital for examination, choose the most effective antibiotics for treatment, or opt for physical therapy. The earlier the treatment, the more beneficial it is for recovery. Additionally, attention should be paid to lifestyle factors: frequently changing underwear and sanitary pads, maintaining hygiene of the external genitalia, especially during cold weather, avoiding excessive fatigue, and paying attention to diet. Avoid cold and stimulating foods, eat more fresh vegetables, and avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation to prevent infection. Drink more water, consume more rough fiber foods, and ensure smooth bowel movements. After effective treatment, the condition will improve quickly.
