Help needed: Can treatment be done during menstruation? How should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, pelvic inflammatory disease is mostly related to bacterial infections. Continuing to take anti-inflammatory drugs during your menstrual period will not affect the therapeutic effect of the medication. Antibiotics can also be used to relieve symptoms. Generally, intravenous drip of quinolone and cephalosporin antibiotics are used.
Gynecological inflammatory diseases can be treated by taking antimicrobial drugs in a timely manner. Oral medications can be taken consistently during your menstrual period, but vaginal suppositories are not recommended to be continued during this time. Your current situation should involve oral medications, and having your period does not affect the use of oral medications. You can continue to take them now and complete the full course of treatment to address gynecological inflammatory diseases.
