What should I do if pelvic inflammatory disease doesn't heal with treatment and keeps recurring?

Patient's question:

Chronic pelvic inflammatory for half a year, pain on both sides of the lower abdomen, with a mass on the right side. Medication and topical treatments provide some relief, but they cannot cure it.

Doctor's answer:

1. Drug treatment
Antibiotics are the primary treatment for acute pelvic inflammatory disease, including various administration routes such as intravenous infusion, intramuscular injection, or oral administration. Broad-spectrum antibiotics should be used in combination with anti-anaerobic drugs, and the course of treatment should 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 infected foci that repeatedly cause 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, 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 preferred.
