Patient's question:
Can pelvic inflammatory disease be completely cured by only taking traditional Chinese medicine?Doctor's answer:
Hello, taking only traditional Chinese medicine cannot cure the condition; it is primarily treated with Western medicine. The available Western medicines are as follows:(1) Acute Pelvic Inflammation
1. Antibiotics: Combination therapy is recommended, with the best choice being drugs selected based on bacterial culture and sensitivity tests.
(1) Penicillin G: 24 million to 100 million units daily, intravenous drip; after improvement, reduce to 8 million to 16 million units daily, administered in divided doses via intramuscular injection.
(2) Erythromycin: 1-1.5g daily, intravenous drip, combined with kanamycin 0.5g, twice daily, intramuscular injection.
(3) Gentamicin: 16 million to 32 million units daily, intravenous drip or administered in 2-3 divided doses via intramuscular injection.
(4) Clindamycin: 0.3-0.6g per dose, three times daily, intramuscular injection.
(5) Clarithromycin: 0.6g per dose, intravenous drip, once every 6 hours. After the body temperature returns to normal, switch to oral administration, 0.3g per dose, once every 6 hours.
2. Provide adequate nutrition and fluid intake, correct electrolyte imbalances and acid-base disorders.
(2) Chronic Pelvic Inflammation
While using antibiotics, α-chymotrypsin 5mg or hyaluronic acid 1500 units can be administered intramuscularly, once every other day, with 5-10 doses constituting one course. Alternatively, antibiotics can be used in combination with prednisone, with prednisone 5mg administered orally three times daily. After discontinuation, the dosage should be gradually reduced.
