Patient's question:
Infected with pelvic inflammatory disease, it hasn't been treated yet, and now I often feel a sour and painful sensation in the lower right abdomen.Doctor's answer:
1. Drug TreatmentAntibiotics are the primary treatment for acute pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), including various administration routes such as intravenous infusion, intramuscular injection, or oral medication. Broad-spectrum antibiotics should be used in combination with anti-anaerobic drugs, and the course of treatment must be sufficient. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can be combined to achieve better therapeutic effects.
2. Surgical Treatment
Surgery may be performed if there are masses such as hydrosalpinx or tubo-ovarian cysts; it is also suitable for small infection foci that repeatedly trigger inflammation. The principle of surgery is to achieve complete cure, avoiding the recurrence of residual lesions. Appendectomy or salpingectomy may be performed. For young women, ovarian function should be preserved as much as possible. Since single therapy is often ineffective for chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, a comprehensive treatment approach is recommended.
