Treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease should follow the principles and avoid misunderstandings

Pelvic inflammatory disease is a type of inflammation of the female pelvic reproductive organs, connective tissue around the uterus, and pelvic peritoneum. Treatment should pay attention to the following principles to avoid falling into treatment misunderstandings.

1. Principle of drug symptomatic treatment

There are many types of drugs for treating pelvic inflammatory disease. Patients must not take drugs at will. Some drugs are effective for other people, but may not be suitable for themselves. The choice of drugs should be based on their own symptoms and under the guidance of doctors. It should be noted that many patients with recurrent pelvic inflammatory disease remember the name of the last medication and blindly buy and take it. Little do they know that the pathogens and symptoms of this recurrence may be very different from the last time. The consequence of not taking the right medicine is that it will not only be unhelpful to the condition, but will delay the treatment opportunity.

2. Principle of continuous treatment

The treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease must be carried out according to the doctor's treatment plan. Patients must not give up halfway or discontinuous treatment, especially when the condition has improved. They must persist in taking medication on time and in the right amount, and maintain an optimistic mood. Although they should pay attention to the disease and treatment, they do not need to be too nervous or anxious, so as to avoid mental factors affecting the treatment effect.

3. Principles of TCM auxiliary treatment

The treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease can be assisted by traditional Chinese medicine on the basis of Western medicine, to distinguish the cold, heat, deficiency and excess of the patient, and prescribe the right medicine. For example, patients with damp-heat type can take heat-clearing and damp-removing drugs such as Patrinia, Coix seeds, Plantain, and Safflower; for patients with cold-damp type, it is recommended to take drugs such as Angelica, Red Peony Root, and Atractylodes to warm the meridians and eliminate dampness.
