What are the treatments for pelvic inflammatory disease?

Pelvic inflammatory disease is a common gynecological disease, and many female friends have suffered from it. The symptoms of general pelvic inflammatory disease are also quite prominent, such as lower abdominal pain, menstrual disorders, infertility, etc. If pelvic inflammatory disease is not treated in time, it can easily cause damage to the health of the uterus. The treatment methods for pelvic inflammatory disease are not complicated, such as physical therapy, drug therapy, surgical treatment, etc.

Symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease

Symptom 1: Lower abdominal pain. Scar adhesions caused by chronic inflammation and pelvic congestion often cause lower abdominal distension, pain and soreness in the lumbar region. It often worsens after fatigue, sexual intercourse, and before and after menstruation.

Symptom 2: Menstrual disorders may cause excessive menstruation in the early stages due to endometrial congestion and ulcers. Most patients have been ill for a long time when they seek medical treatment, and the endometrium has been damaged to varying degrees, manifesting as infrequent menstruation or amenorrhea.

Symptom 3: Infertility is caused by the destruction and adhesion of the fallopian tube mucosa, which often blocks the lumen; or due to adhesions around the fallopian tube, the lumen sometimes remains partially open. However, the mucosal cilia are destroyed, the fallopian tubes become rigid, and their motility is restricted, thus losing their transport function and becoming incapable of conception. Therefore, the vast majority of patients are infertile.

Treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease

1. Psychological treatment: General treatment relieves patients' mental concerns, enhances their confidence in treatment, increases nutrition, exercises the body, pays attention to the combination of work and rest, and improves the body's resistance.

2. The warm and benign stimulation of physical therapy can promote local blood circulation in the pelvis. Improve the nutritional status of tissues and enhance metabolism to facilitate the absorption and disappearance of inflammation. Commonly used ones are shortwave, ultrashort wave, iontophoresis (various drugs such as penicillin, streptomycin, etc. can be added), wax therapy, etc.

3. Other drug treatments: Because the female reproductive system has a natural defense function, under normal circumstances, it can resist bacterial invasion. Pelvic inflammatory disease will only occur when the body's resistance decreases or the female's natural defense function is destroyed due to other reasons. Therefore, the private parts also need daily care. When cleaning the vulva every day, it is more appropriate to use a female care solution with a Ph4 weak acid formula. As for vaginal douching, once a week is enough to avoid bacterial imbalance and bacterial infection.

4. Surgical treatment is suitable for lumps such as hydrosalpinx or tubo-ovarian cysts; surgical treatment is also suitable for those with small infection foci and repeated inflammation. The principle of surgery is complete cure to avoid recurrence of residual lesions. Unilateral oophorectomy or radical hysterectomy plus bilateral oophorectomy is performed. For young women, ovarian function should be preserved as much as possible. The effect of single therapy for chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is poor, and comprehensive treatment is appropriate.
