Patient's question:
This year I am 25 years old. After getting married, I didn't use any contraception for more than two years, and finally managed to get pregnant in September 2004. However, at five weeks of pregnancy, I felt a slight pain in my abdomen and noticed a drop of brown discharge from my vagina. An ultrasound examination revealed that the embryo had no yolk sac and no fetal heartbeat. Out of desperation, I underwent an abortion without anesthesia at six weeks.Since then, apart from my menstrual period, I have had yellow discharge from my vagina every day, without itching or odor, accompanied by lower back pain and right lower abdominal pain. It has been a full year already. During this year, I sought medical help everywhere, but doctors generally listened to my story, didn’t conduct any tests, and just said it was inflammation. So I took a lot of antibiotics, but it didn’t get better.
Doctor's answer:
Consider it could be pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). You can use Jinji capsules, Sanmiao pills, and Gufu Zhida tablets for treatment. PID often presents with lower abdominal pain and increased vaginal discharge. If it's severe, hospitalization may be necessary. Regular follow-ups and frequent changes of underwear and pants are important. Pay attention to daily hygiene habits and bathe regularly.It is recommended to have a leukorrhea biopsy at the hospital to confirm the type of bacterial infection. Once the diagnosis is clear, the appropriate medication can be determined. Avoid self-medication until the cause is identified, as this may delay treatment. Maintain good hygiene practices in daily life to prevent infection and ensure proper external genital hygiene. Avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation.
Choose cotton underwear that is soft and breathable. Change and wash underwear daily. Wash the external genital area with warm water every day. Use boiling water to sterilize the basin and towels used for washing the external genital area. Dry underwear in the sun.
