Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Sudden lower abdominal pain similar to menstrual cramps occurred on the morning of November 11th. Subsequently, I visited a hospital for treatment. The doctor initially suspected an ovarian cyst, then was uncertain, and later diagnosed acute pelvic inflammatory disease, requiring intravenous fluids and hospitalization for one day. The next day, due to distrust of that hospital, I went to the municipal maternal and child health hospital for examination. The doctor diagnosed only mild inflammation with thickened appendages, requiring intravenous fluids for one day. After some improvement, on the third day, my period arrived with menstrual cramps, lower back pain, and leg swelling, which I attributed to the menstrual cycle and did not pay attention to. After the period ended, I developed tonsillitis and received intravenous fluids. However, my lower back and legs still ached. Yesterday, I went to the hospital for examination, and the doctor initially said it was nothing serious, but I insisted on getting a CT scan. Today, I went to pick up the results.Please ask
Doctor's answer:
Hello, pelvic inflammatory disease refers to the inflammation of the female upper reproductive tract and surrounding tissues, with main conditions including salpingitis, fallopian tube cysts, endometritis, and pelvic peritonitis. Many women do not take this disease seriously, believing it can be treated or left untreated, which is a wrong concept. If pelvic inflammatory disease is not treated promptly, it can cause great harm to women. Long-term use of anti-inflammatory drugs can lead to drug resistance and dysbiosis, resulting in more severe inflammatory infections. Therefore, Chinese medicine combined with physical therapy or acupuncture methods is often used. Recommended Chinese medicine includes Women's Golden Pill (capsules), which has anti-inflammatory effects and can also enhance the body's immunity. Change underwear and sanitary pads frequently, avoid catching colds, do not eat raw, cold, or irritating foods, and avoid overexertion. Get adequate rest. If you push yourself to work hard at this time, over time it can easily lead to pelvic congestion, a decline in resistance, and trigger pelvic inflammatory disease.
