Patient's question:
Symptom Description: Very painful on the first day of each menstrual period, accompanied by nausea and weakness. Medical Examination: Pelvic inflammatory disease. Past Treatment and Effect: First treatment. Desired Help: Want to ask what reactions there are during treatment.Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a common and frequently occurring gynecological condition. If left untreated, it can easily become chronic, worsen in severity, or transform into recurrent chronic PID, leading to persistent pain or infertility. Therefore, timely and thorough treatment is essential for PID. A combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine approaches is often more effective in controlling and improving the condition. In the acute phase, Western medicine is primarily used, while in the chronic phase, traditional Chinese medicine is the main treatment. Often, chronic inflammation leads to reduced blood circulation at the affected tissues. In such cases, the active ingredients of Western medicine may struggle to reach the site of infection. However, if Chinese herbal medicine such as Gynecological Qianjin Tablets (capsules) is used, its ingredients Angelica sinensis (Danggui) and Codonopsis pilosula (Dangshen) can replenish qi and blood, improve and promote local blood circulation, enhance the absorption of inflammatory exudates, and achieve better therapeutic effects. It is important to pay attention to the maintenance of the pelvic area in daily life, pay attention to dietary care, and strengthen nutrition.
