Patient's question:
I had a medication abortion on the 9th of last month. Due to not resting properly and being overly exhausted, the bleeding, which was originally expected to stop within five days, started again. After the bleeding stopped, I haven't had my period since.Two weeks ago, I started experiencing pain in the right ovary. Because I was busy with work, I took Yunnan Baiyao capsules for three days (with alcohol). The pain subsided. Yesterday, I went to the hospital for a check-up, and it was confirmed that there is inflammation in the right ovary. The doctor prescribed anti-inflammatory capsules and other medications. However, after taking the medicine three times, the pain has slightly worsened compared to before I stopped taking Yunnan Baiyao.
Is it possible that I took the medication improperly or in excess? I didn’t inform the doctor about this. What should I do now?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: This is not a normal phenomenon, indicating an inflammatory infection. Mild pain has also appeared in the left appendix. Physical examinations can be conducted to check if there is a concurrent infection, and anti-inflammatory treatment can be administered accordingly.
