The treatment of chronic adnexitis mainly includes the following: 1. General management: suitable for patients with mild symptoms, including maintaining regular作息 (daily routines), balanced diet, and moderate exercise to enhance immune function. 2. Physical therapy: such as ultrashort wave or microwave therapy, which can reduce inflammation, promote blood circulation, and relieve discomfort. 3. Topical medications: such as matrine gel or metronidazole-clotrimazole ointment, which help inhibit pathogen invasion and prevent recurrent inflammation. 4. Oral medications: in cases of severe infection, oral drugs such as metronidazole tablets or levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules may be used to control the infection. 5. Surgical treatment: when serious complications such as pelvic adhesions occur, surgical intervention may be considered, such as laparoscopic lysis of pelvic adhesions. Treatment of chronic adnexitis should be individualized based on the patient's specific condition and carried out under the guidance of a physician.
