Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling uncomfortable everywhere, including stomach pain. When I go to the bathroom, there's blood coming out. Later, I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was pelvic cancer. Now, further treatment is needed. I'm asking if traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine is better for early-stage pelvic cancer?Doctor's answer:
Hello, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) refers to inflammation of the female upper reproductive tract and surrounding tissues. The main conditions include salpingitis, tubular cysts, endometritis, and pelvic peritonitis. Many women do not take this disease seriously, believing it can be treated or left untreated, which is a mistaken notion. If PID is not treated promptly, it can cause significant harm to women. Long-term use of anti-inflammatory drugs can lead to drug resistance and dysbiosis, resulting in more severe inflammatory infections. Therefore, Chinese herbal medicine combined with physical therapy or acupuncture methods is often used. Recommended Chinese herbal medicine includes Qifeng Qianjin Pian (capsules), which has anti-inflammatory effects and can also enhance the body's immunity. Change underwear and sanitary pads frequently, avoid exposure to cold wind, eat no raw or irritating foods, and avoid overexertion. Get adequate rest. If you push yourself to work hard at this time, over time it can easily lead to pelvic congestion, a decline in resistance, and trigger PID.
