Pelvic inflammatory disease is a common inflammatory disease in gynecology and is generally more frequent in young women, mainly due to frequent sex and unclean sex. As there are more abortions, colposcopies, hysteroscopies and other procedures, pelvic inflammatory disease secondary to these procedures is also becoming more common. The main manifestation of pelvic inflammatory disease is pain in the lower abdomen, usually on both sides of the lower abdomen, accompanied by increased vaginal discharge, some like pus nasal discharge, some patients have low fever, some even have high fever. What are the organs that are inflamed by pelvic inflammatory disease? Inflammation usually occurs in the fallopian tubes and pelvic peritoneum. Bacteria are present in the vagina of women and under certain conditions enter the fallopian tubes and pelvic cavity via the vagina through the cervix and uterine cavity. The fallopian tubes are located on both sides of the small abdomen, so the pain of pelvic inflammatory disease is mostly on both sides of the lower abdomen. When inflammation of the fallopian tubes spreads to the pelvis, the peritoneum of the pelvis bears the brunt of the inflammation, which is a membrane covering the inside of the pelvis and is often diffuse. What should I do if I have pelvic inflammatory disease? In fact, there are acute and chronic pelvic inflammatory diseases. Patients with acute pelvic inflammatory disease may have more severe symptoms and tend to go to the hospital for treatment. In fact, acute pelvic inflammatory disease within 48 hours of the onset of timely medication will significantly reduce the occurrence of sequelae. This is why a timely visit to the hospital is the key to treating pelvic inflammatory disease. If you have a hospital, you can have your vaginal secretions cultured, which is especially important for patients with pelvic inflammatory disease with leukorrhea. If the pathogenic bacteria are identified, the hospital will do a sensitivity test for the patient to find the most effective antibiotic for the pathogenic bacteria, and then the medication will be targeted. For patients with mild abdominal pain and no obvious fever, oral antibiotics such as cefradine and cefaclor can be administered orally in combination with metronidazole tablets. If the abdominal pain is severe or accompanied by fever, intramuscular or intravenous antibiotics can be administered. We commonly use cephalosporin antibiotics in combination with metronidazole, and the duration of treatment is usually about 1 week to 2 weeks. What are the sequelae of acute pelvic inflammatory disease? In fact, if acute pelvic inflammatory disease is not treated in time or improperly, some of them will turn into chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, with repeated lower abdominal pain that is difficult to heal. It can also lead to infertility, so young women with fertility requirements should pay special attention. As already mentioned, pelvic inflammatory disease mostly occurs in the fallopian tubes, which can lead to damage or even blockage of the fallopian tubes, causing infertility and ectopic pregnancy. What is chronic pelvic inflammatory disease? Some women often have recurrent lower abdominal pain and increased leukorrhea with odor after exertion. These patients often have acute pelvic inflammatory disease that has not been effectively controlled and treated and has turned into chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. The symptoms of chronic pelvic inflammatory pain in the lower abdomen are not severe, some of them are vague pain, some of them are bouts of pain, and there is no fever, and the blood tests at the hospital do not raise the white blood cells. Some patients who have chronic pelvic inflammatory disease feel more troubled than those who have acute pelvic inflammatory disease. This is because the disease is often recurrent, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and the most distressing thing is that the treatment is often less than ideal. The disease can be triggered by exertion, showers, unclean sex, and so on. Just like the flu, it can develop under certain conditions. Antibiotic treatment for chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is not very effective and is as counterproductive as shooting a mosquito with an anti-aircraft gun. Clinically, Chinese herbal medicine has been effective instead. In the eyes of TCM practitioners, there are several types of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, and the prescription of Chinese medicine is usually prescribed by taking a pulse and looking at the tongue and moss. Of course, there are also clinical Chinese medicines made into capsules and tablets and pills, which are clinically tested to be effective for most patients, easy to use, and easily accepted by patients. In addition, Chinese medicine has external Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine enema and other methods of combined treatment of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, combined with the oral consumption of Chinese medicine, the effect is more obvious. In the treatment of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, Chinese medicine is significantly more effective than antibiotics.
