Patient's question:
Hello doctor. I previously treated pelvic inflammatory disease with a course (7 days) of treatment, and the test results came back as 10-15. Also, my period is supposed to come in the next two days. Do you think I should continue with the IV drip? Can I take medication instead?Doctor's answer:
The main causes of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) are postpartum infection, infection after intrauterine surgery, poor menstrual hygiene, and others.Recommendation: You can choose penicillin and metronidazole for intravenous drip. A course of treatment lasts for 7 days, and in most cases, intravenous drip is continued during the next menstrual period. After symptoms disappear, you can use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment.
The occurrence of PID not only affects a woman's life but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a routine examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, eating light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
