Is vaginitis and pelvic inflammatory disease treated together?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello, I would like to ask, I have vaginitis and pelvic inflammatory disease. Should I treat the vaginitis first or treat both conditions at the same time? Pelvic inflammatory disease can be acute or chronic. How do I know if I have acute or chronic?

Doctor's answer:

For bacterial vaginosis patients, you can use "Jie'eryin" or "Fu Yin Jie" for vaginal irrigation, once daily or every other day. Use metronidazole tablets, one tablet twice a day, inserted into the vagina. These methods should be the most economical and convenient, and they are also expected to be very effective for bacterial vaginosis. The medication you received at the hospital was also metronidazole powder, but buying it yourself is much more economical, and the operation is not difficult at all.
Regarding pelvic inflammatory disease, the "Fuyankang Wan" you are currently taking is quite effective. The key is to persist in taking it. Generally, you will see significant improvement within two weeks. If you want to speed things up, you can go to the hospital for intravenous drip treatment. Levofloxacin or gatifloxacin are both suitable options. Don't hurry—this is not a serious illness. As long as you persist in medication or treatment, things will gradually improve.
Wishing you a speedy recovery!!
