How is acute pelvic inflammatory disease treated?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Acute pelvic inflammatory disease, doctor requires hospitalization for treatment (enema for anti-inflammatory), please ask if there are other treatment options? What kind of medication is most effective?

Doctor's answer:

Acute pelvic inflammatory disease is characterized by rapid onset and severe symptoms, with all patients experiencing varying degrees of chills, fever, and lower abdominal pain. At times, the urinary tract may also exhibit irritation or compression symptoms, such as dysuria, urinary frequency, and difficulty urinating. If the acute phase is not completely cured, it can develop into chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. Therefore, active and thorough treatment during the acute phase is essential. Physical therapies such as shortwave, ultrashortwave, infrared, and drug iontophoresis can promote pelvic blood circulation, facilitate the absorption of inflammation, and may be appropriately applied. Chinese herbal medicines that invigorate blood circulation and clear heat-toxin may also be considered.
