Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Please ask the doctor if pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, and cervical inflammation can be treated with physical therapy and traditional Chinese acupuncture together, as the condition is severe and I hope the doctor can give a good reply.Doctor's answer:
The pathogenesis of cervical inflammation and pelvic inflammatory disease is the same. It is generally caused by symptoms due to a decline in the body's immunity, bacterial, viral, or parasitic infections. The medications used to treat pelvic inflammatory disease also have a certain therapeutic effect on cervical inflammation. For pelvic inflammatory disease, broad-spectrum antibiotics such as penicillins and cephalosporins, combined with metronidazole (Flagyl), can be administered intravenously after menstruation. If there are masses in the pelvic area or severe inflammation that frequently recurs, surgical treatment may be considered. Additionally, physical therapies such as shortwave, ultrashortwave, infrared radiation, and drug iontophoresis can promote pelvic blood circulation, facilitate the absorption of inflammation, and can be selectively applied. Chinese herbal medicines that promote blood circulation and clear heat can also be considered as appropriate.
