Patient's question:
I found chronic pelvic inflammatory disease during my check-up yesterday. The doctor said that my irregular menstruation and long-term lower abdominal pain are caused by pelvic inflammatory disease. I want to actively treat it because this disease is simply too painful.Doctor's answer:
Hello, pelvic inflammatory disease is commonly divided into acute pelvic inflammatory disease and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. If the acute phase is not treated thoroughly, it can develop into chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. Therefore, active and thorough treatment should be administered during the acute phase, and treatment should not be stopped just because symptoms temporarily subside. At the same time, it is important to (lifestyle support) and (prevent recurrence).Additionally, if pelvic inflammatory disease affects the fallopian tubes, causing adhesions or complete obstruction of the lumen, it can impact future fertility and lead to infertility. However, if the inflammation is limited to the pelvic connective tissues and the fallopian tubes are unaffected, fertility will not be impaired.
Medication (conservative treatment) can be adopted. Integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment has significant advantages in this regard, as it is less likely to cause drug resistance. Recommended herbal medications include (capsules) for effectively treating cervical inflammation. Generally, 3–4 treatment courses are recommended, with 2–3 courses for those with milder conditions. Each course lasts 14 days. It is advisable to consume more high-protein foods, such as lean meat and soy products, as well as plenty of vegetables and fruits. This not only meets the body's nutritional needs but also helps avoid weight gain.
