Patient's question:
I have pelvic inflammatory disease and am currently undergoing treatment. During my menstrual period, I specifically bent down to test if the pelvic inflammatory disease still hurts. At that time, there was severe pain in the area four inches below the navel.Doctor's answer:
1. Drug treatmentAntibiotics are the primary treatment for acute pelvic inflammatory disease, including various administration routes such as intravenous infusion, intramuscular injection, or oral medication. Broad-spectrum antibiotics should be used in combination with anaerobic antibiotics, and the course of treatment must be sufficient. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be combined to achieve better efficacy.
2. Surgical treatment
Surgery is recommended for conditions such as hydrosalpinx or tubo-ovarian cysts. Small infection foci that repeatedly trigger inflammation are also suitable for surgical intervention. The principle of surgery is to achieve complete cure, avoiding the recurrence of residual lesions. Oophorectomy or salpingectomy may be performed. For young women, efforts should be made to preserve ovarian function. Since single therapy is often ineffective for chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, a comprehensive treatment approach is preferable.
