What are the treatments for pelvic inflammatory disease?

Pelvic inflammatory disease refers to inflammation of the female reproductive organs, connective tissue around the uterus and pelvic peritoneum. This inflammation may be caused by inflammation in one or more parts of the body, including acute pelvic inflammatory disease and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.

There are three main treatments for pelvic inflammatory disease:

1. Drug treatment: Acute pelvic inflammatory disease is mainly treated with antibiotics, including intravenous infusion, intramuscular injection, and oral administration. Anti-anaerobic drugs and traditional Chinese medicine can also be combined to achieve better results.

2. Surgical treatment: For obvious masses, such as hydrosalpinx or effusion in the fallopian tube, or lesions that repeatedly cause inflammation, surgical treatment is generally recommended. The principle of surgery is to completely cure the disease and avoid the chance of recurrence of residual lesions. Unilateral adnexectomy or hysterectomy plus bilateral adnexectomy is performed. For young women, ovarian function should be preserved as much as possible.

3. Other treatments: The benign stimulation of warmth can increase the local blood circulation in the pelvic cavity, improve the nutritional status of the tissues, and increase metabolism. Commonly used physical therapies include short wave, ultrashort wave ion, penetration, etc.

Patients with pelvic inflammatory disease should pay attention to diet and nutrition. During the fever period, they should eat light and easily digestible food. Patients with high fever and body fluid damage can be given pear juice, apple juice, watermelon juice, etc., but they should not drink it after icing. Patients with yellow, heavy and thick leucorrhea are damp-heat syndrome and should avoid fried, greasy and spicy food.
