Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Please ask the doctor if treatment for pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, and cervical inflammation can be combined with physical therapy and traditional Chinese acupuncture. Due to the severity of the condition, I hope the doctor can provide a good response.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 drugs used to treat pelvic inflammatory disease also have a certain therapeutic effect on cervical inflammation. For pelvic inflammatory disease, broad-spectrum antibiotics such as penicillin and cephalosporins, combined with metronidazole (Flagyl), can be administered intravenously after menstruation. If there are masses in the pelvic cavity or severe inflammation that frequently recurs, surgical treatment may be considered. Additionally, physical therapies such as shortwave, ultrashortwave, infrared, and drug iontophoresis can promote pelvic blood circulation, facilitate the absorption of inflammation, and can be selectively applied. Chinese herbal medicines that invigorate blood, remove blood stasis, clear heat, and detoxify can also be considered as appropriate.
