Still in pain after using six tubes of Sophora gel
Discomfort or pain persists after using six applications of Sophora flavescens gel, which is usually related to adverse drug reactions, allergic reactions, or worsening of the underlying condition. Close observation is recommended, and treatment should be administered under a doctor's guidance. Specific analyses are as follows:
1. Adverse Drug Reactions
Sophora flavescens gel is a traditional Chinese medicine composed of total alkaloids from Sophora flavescens. During use, it may irritate local mucosal tissues, leading to mild burning or pain. If symptoms are mild, they typically resolve spontaneously without special treatment.
2. Allergic Reaction
Due to individual differences in constitution, some people may be allergic to ingredients in Sophora flavescens gel, resulting in the aforementioned symptoms. It is recommended to take antihistamine medications such as loratadine tablets, olopatadine hydrochloride tablets, or chlorpheniramine maleate tablets under medical supervision.
3. Worsening Condition
If the condition is severe with local erosion present, the medication may trigger the described symptoms. Patients are advised to seek medical guidance for treatment with medications such as metronidazole tablets, tinidazole tablets, or roxithromycin.
If necessary, visit a hospital for evaluation to determine whether other conditions—such as hypertension, diabetes, or atherosclerosis—are involved. These systemic diseases may impair blood supply to pelvic organs and cause pain. Accurate diagnosis is essential, and patients should actively cooperate with their doctors for appropriate management.
