Patient's question:
I started experiencing lower back pain on November 4th after having an abortion. What is pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)? How is it related to lower back pain? If PID is not treated effectively, will the lower back pain persist indefinitely? Will it be impossible to get pregnant if it's not treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering your current condition, chronic pelvic inflammation tends to recur. Generally, antibiotic treatment is not necessary, but it can be used if needed. Chinese herbal medicines that promote blood circulation and clear heat can be applied. It is recommended to use Kuihua Kangfu Anti-inflammatory Suppositories. Typically, 3-4 courses of treatment are required, with 2-3 courses for those with milder conditions, each course lasting 14 days. This can effectively treat chronic pelvic inflammation and significantly alleviate symptoms such as abnormal vaginal discharge (yellow in color, with a foul odor), excessive menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual periods, and intermittent bleeding; as well as lower abdominal pain, lumbosacral soreness, and dysmenorrhea.To enhance your overall health, it is advisable to improve dietary nutrition, engage in appropriate physical exercise, maintain regular bowel movements, drink plenty of water, and get adequate rest while avoiding heavy lifting, prolonged standing, or squatting.
