Patient's question:
A while ago, I suffered from pelvic inflammatory disease. At that time, my menstrual flow was very heavy, and I had a severe lower abdominal sensation of heaviness. My lumbar and sacral areas also felt sore. I didn't want to do anything every day. Now that I have taken medication, the symptoms have somewhat subsided.Doctor's answer:
Hello, pelvic inflammatory disease is often caused by poor personal hygiene during sexual activity. It can lead to lower abdominal pain and swelling, as well as increased menstrual bleeding and vaginal discharge. It may also cause blocked fallopian tubes, uterine adhesions, and affect ovulation and pregnancy. After being diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease, it is recommended not to take anti-inflammatory drugs for a long time, as this can lead to drug resistance and dysbiosis, resulting in more severe infections. It is advisable to combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatments, which do not cause drug resistance and are more effective. Recommended Chinese medicine includes Qifeng Qianjin Pian (capsules). Generally, 3-4 courses of treatment are recommended, with 2-3 courses for milder cases. Each course lasts 14 days, improving tissue nutrition and metabolism. To prevent reinfection or mixed infections, it is essential for the male partner to maintain good sexual hygiene.
