Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, unmarried women are less prone to endometrial pelvic inflammation, but this is not absolute. In terms of treatment, it is recommended to combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine. While eliminating inflammation, Chinese medicine should be used to promote local pelvic blood circulation, improve nutritional status, enhance metabolism, and strengthen the human immune system. This approach aims to achieve the comprehensive treatment of eliminating inflammation while addressing other symptoms and overall physical and mental health of the patient.
