Patient's question:
My friend has been experiencing lower back pain every time they bend recently, and they also have neck pain! I don't know what the cause is, or how to treat it. What kind of medicine should they take? Could the neck pain be from a stiff neck? What other reasons could cause lower back and neck pain? Their period is also delayed by 4 days and hasn't arrived yet! They tested last night and it showed they are not pregnant!They previously had pelvic inflammatory disease! How can pelvic inflammatory disease be prevented? How is it treated? Are there any good methods or effective medications? I hope the doctor can provide guidance! Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Hello, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) refers to an infection of the uterus (uterus), fallopian tubes (tubes connecting the uterus, ovaries, and eggs), and other reproductive organs, causing symptoms such as lower abdominal pain. It is a type of sexually transmitted disease (STD), especially severe complications like chlamydia and gonorrhea. It can damage nearby structures such as the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and tissues. It can lead to serious consequences, including infertility, ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy occurring outside the fallopian tubes or elsewhere in the uterus), the formation of abscesses, and chronic pelvic pain. It is recommended to seek timely treatment, preferably using a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, as this approach avoids drug resistance and yields better results. The recommended medication is Ji Ke Qian Jin Pian (capsules), which can reduce inflammation while also boosting the immune system, effectively treating the condition and reducing the recurrence of inflammation. The most basic measure is to maintain good personal hygiene and prevent various routes of infection, keeping the vulvar area clean and dry, and washing the external genitalia with clean water every night.
