Does pelvic inflammatory disease also cause abdominal pain?

Patient's question:

Does pelvic inflammatory disease cause abdominal pain? I've had lower left abdominal pain for three years. The doctors at Hohhot Fuxing Hospital said it's pelvic inflammatory disease, but the community doctor said it's adnexitis. What tests should I do? How long will it take to treat this condition?

Doctor's answer:

When chronic pelvic inflammatory disease recurs, levofloxacin capsules and metronidazole tablets can be taken orally. Levofloxacin capsules: 2 tablets each time, twice a day; Metronidazole tablets: 2 tablets each time, three times a day. After symptoms subside, Chinese herbal enemas and physical therapy can be used, which are very effective. In addition, during the treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease, in addition to immediate treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. Patients must avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary impacts on the recovery of pelvic inflammatory disease.
