Patient's question:
After the recovery from the Qing Palace, a follow-up examination in September revealed pelvic effusion, which was 1.3 cm at that time. After taking medication (Metronidazole + Levofloxacin) for a week, it reduced to 0.3 cm. The doctor advised to check again after the menstrual period, and on November 12, it was measured as 0.7 cm. The medication was continued, but suddenly the discharge turned yellow and curd-like, becoming excessive. Currently, a daily rinse with Jie'eryin is being used, without itching or odor. It seems now that both pelvic inflammation and vaginal inflammation are occurring simultaneously. How can this be completely cured??Doctor's answer:
Hello, in general, pelvic effusion is usually caused by pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which includes chronic and acute PID. The treatment for acute PID involves supportive therapy, bed rest, and semi-recumbent position to localize the inflammation. A high-calorie, high-protein, and high-vitamin diet is provided, with blood transfusions given if necessary to enhance the body's resistance. Intravenous antibiotics are administered systemically. If antibiotic treatment is unsatisfactory, surgical treatment may be considered. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment primarily focuses on promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Chronic PID is generally a progression from acute PID, and the treatment mainly involves local physical therapy and supportive therapy. During pregnancy, systemic medication should be avoided to prevent fetal malformation.
