Patient's question:
Doctor, hello!I had a medication abortion on October 18th and later underwent a D&C procedure. My menstrual cycle returned to normal in November, lasting only 4 days. However, I have been experiencing lower back pain and later abdominal pain. When I take anti-inflammatory medication, the pain subsides, but when I stop, it starts again. Recently, even medication hasn't helped. A hospital examination revealed inflammation in the fallopian tubes, and tests showed the presence of flagellates. What should I do? The doctor prescribed Tizanidine and Gynecological Qianjin Tablets, but the effect is not significant. What else can I do? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
This is a symptom of vaginitis. It is essential to treat it thoroughly before pregnancy to avoid affecting the development of the fetus. It is recommended to follow the doctor's advice and treat both partners together to reduce the likelihood of recurrence. The effect may not be satisfactory, so I suggest you try traditional Chinese medicine.Additionally, you should pay attention to the following:
1. Wear breathable clothing and avoid wearing pantyhose or tight jeans consecutively.
2. Wear cotton underwear and change it frequently. Keep the towels and basins used for cleaning the external genital area separate. Hang the underwear in the sun to dry thoroughly, rather than leaving it in the bathroom.
3. Wipe from front to back after a bowel movement.
4. Try to maintain a cheerful mood, as psychological factors can also weaken the immune system.
5. Avoid frequent use of disinfectants or various cleaning agents to rinse the external genital area and vagina. The best way to clean the genital area is with plain water, not various washes.
6. Avoid spicy and irritating foods.
