Patient's question:
I haven't had any energy in my whole body these days. My period just ended, and my lower back still hurts badly. Applying a hot compress helps a bit. Is this a gynecological problem?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms and treatments of common gynecological diseases are manifested in the following aspects:1. Vaginitis (Symptoms and Treatment of Gynecological Diseases): The discharge appears yellow or yellow-green, often with a foul odor, and its consistency varies depending on the type—either thin or thick. Symptoms include itching, burning pain, and in some cases, urgency, frequency, or pain during urination.
2. Cervicitis (Symptoms and Treatment of Gynecological Diseases): The discharge increases, appearing as creamy, sticky mucus (sometimes yellowish-white, purulent, or bloody). Other symptoms include cervical congestion, edema, lower back and sacral pain, a sense of pelvic heaviness, and dysmenorrhea.
3. Pelvic Inflammation (Symptoms and Treatment of Gynecological Diseases): The discharge increases, appearing as curd-like or cottage cheese-like in texture. Symptoms include fever, recurrent pain, occasional nausea, and general fatigue. Given that bacteria causing pelvic inflammation are easily aggressive and difficult to prevent with medication, a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine is adopted to clear the inflammation while also addressing the condition and promoting physical and mental well-being.
How to Treat Gynecological Diseases? Most patients experience rapid improvement or disappearance of symptoms after local medication, but this does not mean the inflammation has been fully cured—it only indicates that the pathogen has been temporarily suppressed. Patients must not stop medication at this point and should follow the doctor’s advice to complete the treatment course. Medication can be paused during the menstrual period, and after menstruation ends, a gynecological examination and microscopic examination of vaginal discharge should be conducted. If the results are negative, it is considered recently cured. If further treatment is needed, it will be continued. Only when three consecutive months of gynecological examinations and microscopic examinations of vaginal discharge show no abnormalities can the condition be deemed completely cured.
