Patient's question:
I've been having constant pain in my left lower abdomen for a year. I went to the hospital, bought many medications, but none of them worked. I also saw a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and the pain gets severe before my period every time.Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation requires timely treatment. Adnexitis is an infection of the fallopian tubes and ovaries caused by pathogenic microorganisms invading the reproductive organs. It is a common disease, often resulting from poor hygiene during menstruation, sexual intercourse during menstruation, or the entry of bacteria during induced abortion. Adnexitis is divided into acute and chronic forms. Acute cases are easier to cure, while chronic cases are difficult to completely cure but can still lead to pregnancy and childbirth. It is important to visit a hospital for timely examination and choose the most effective antibiotics for treatment, or opt for physical therapy. The earlier the treatment, the more beneficial it is for recovery. At the same time, attention should also be paid to daily life. Underwear and sanitary pads should be changed frequently, and hygiene of the external genitalia should be maintained, especially during cold weather when it is important to keep warm. Avoid overexertion. In terms of diet, avoid cold and irritating foods, eat more fresh vegetables, and avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation to prevent infection. Drink more water and consume more rough fiber foods to ensure smooth bowel movements. After effective treatment, the condition will improve quickly.
