Patient's question:
I found chronic pelvic inflammatory during my check-up yesterday. The doctor said that my irregular menstruation and long-term lower abdominal pain are caused by pelvic inflammatory. I want to actively treat it because this condition is simply too painful.Doctor's answer:
Hello, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is commonly classified into acute PID and chronic PID. If the acute phase is not treated thoroughly, it can progress to chronic PID. Therefore, active and comprehensive treatment should be initiated during the acute phase, and treatment should not be stopped simply because symptoms temporarily subside. At the same time, lifestyle adjustments and measures to prevent recurrence should be combined.Additionally, if a patient with PID also has affected fallopian tubes, leading to complete occlusion due to tubal adhesions, it may impact future fertility and cause infertility. However, if the inflammation is limited to the pelvic connective tissues without involving the fallopian tubes, fertility will not be affected.
Conservative drug treatment can be adopted. Integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment has significant advantages in this regard, as it is less likely to lead to drug resistance. Recommended Chinese herbal medications include Qifeng Qianjin Pian (capsules), which can effectively treat cervical inflammation. Generally, 3–4 treatment courses are recommended, with 2–3 courses for milder cases. Each course lasts 14 days. It is advisable to consume more high-protein foods, such as lean meat and soy products, as well as plenty of vegetables and fruits. This not only meets the body's nutritional needs but also helps avoid weight gain.
