Patient's question:

Hello, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is divided into two types: acute and chronic. The symptoms of acute PID include lower abdominal pain, fever, chills, headache, and loss of appetite. The symptoms of chronic PID may include low-grade fever, fatigue, and some patients may develop neurotic symptoms such as insomnia, lack of energy, and general discomfort due to the prolonged course of the disease. For PID, broad-spectrum antibiotics such as penicillins and cephalosporins should be used in combination with metronidazole, administered intravenously after menstruation. Physical therapy methods such as shortwave, ultrashortwave, infrared radiation, and drug iontophoresis can also be applied to promote pelvic blood circulation and facilitate the absorption of inflammation. Chinese herbal medicines that invigorate blood circulation and clear heat can also be considered as appropriate.
