Patient's question:
Last year in 2018, I went to remove the IUD. After the removal, the doctor didn't prescribe any anti-inflammatory medication. Later, I noticed occasional abdominal cramps and went to the hospital for a thorough examination, where they discovered pelvic effusion. After treating the pelvic effusion, I went for a follow-up examination to try to conceive, but the results showed tubal hydrops. How should I be treated? Can traditional Chinese medicine cure it? Can you call me? I'm very anxious and don't know what to do.Doctor's answer:
After the IUD removal, you must take anti-inflammatory and topical medication for three days. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited for one month. If there is tubal hydrops with inflammation, medication can be taken for treatment. At the same time, you can apply cold compresses with coarse salt. However, the effect of medication is generally not ideal, and the chance of natural childbirth is very low. The best approach is to first undergo tubal hydrops ligation surgery, and then proceed with in vitro fertilization to have a healthy baby.
