Patient's question:
Around the age of 17, I underwent an appendectomy, after which I experienced intermittent lower abdominal left-sided dull pain. The pain worsened during periods of overexertion and before or after menstruation. An ultrasound revealed a small amount of fluid in the pelvis, with no masses. The position of the uterus was normal.I underwent a single-direction antibiotic treatment, which was ineffective. Subsequently, I had intermittent medication, but the condition never fully healed. This persistent pain has plagued me for three years~~~
Due to frequent exams recently and insomnia at night, my condition has been worsening. The abdominal pain has also radiated to my thigh. Hospital check-ups are expensive, so I would like to request the help of a doctor with in-depth knowledge of pelvic inflammatory disease to give me some advice.
Doctor's answer:
Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is generally primarily diagnosed based on medical history, symptoms, and ultrasound examinations. Laparoscopy can also be performed for confirmation. After the diagnosis of pelvic inflammation is confirmed, traditional Chinese medicine can be used for regulation, and multi-functional shortwave therapy and traditional Chinese medicine enemas can also be applied. Shortwave therapy can significantly improve and promote local blood circulation, enhance tissue nutrition, and boost metabolism, thereby facilitating the absorption and resolution of inflammation.
