Patient's question:
Doctor; Last month, I had a tubal hydrotubation procedure, and after my monthly period this month, I still feel some lower abdominal side pain, sometimes present and sometimes absent. I have been taking antibiotics like Linjuntian and Cephalosporin, which have slightly improved the pain, but when I stop taking them, the pain returns. I am worried that the inflammation has not been fully eliminated. Should I continue taking medication or stop? Should I take traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine? I am hesitant to take too much Western medicine because I also have some stomach pain. Please recommend some good medications to thoroughly treat this!Doctor's answer:
After undergoing tubal irrigation, I felt uncomfortable physically. Based on what you mentioned above, I suspect I may have an infection. The therapeutic effect of tubal irrigation is very limited, but if it is repeated frequently, it may damage the natural peristalsis of the fallopian tubes and the beating ability of the cilia, potentially worsening the condition. Additionally, each irrigation increases the risk of infection. These are common side effects of tubal irrigation, so using this method for tubal examination is unreliable and unsafe. If you feel uncomfortable after tubal irrigation, it is best to seek medical attention at a reputable hospital as soon as possible. Avoid small hospitals, as this could worsen your condition. I wish you good luck.
