Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 35 years old, frequently suffers from insomnia, lower abdominal fullness, excessive menstrual bleeding, prolonged menstruation, and lower back pain.Doctor's answer:
Hello, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is divided into two types: acute and chronic. The symptoms of acute PID include lower abdominal pain, fever, chills, headache, and loss of appetite. The symptoms of chronic PID may include low-grade fever. Patients with PID should be treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics such as penicillins and cephalosporins, combined with metronidazole. Intravenous drip should be administered after the menstrual period, and physical therapy such as shortwave, ultrashortwave, infrared, and drug ion penetration can be used to promote pelvic blood circulation, which is beneficial for the absorption of inflammation. Chinese herbal medicines that promote blood circulation and clear heat can also be considered as appropriate.
