Doctor's answer (1)
Medications available for the treatment of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease include:
1. Antibiotics: Broad-spectrum antibiotics such as cephalosporins, penicillins, or quinolones are commonly used. They may sometimes be combined with anti-anaerobic agents such as metronidazole to cover a wider range of potential pathogens. Antibiotics should be used strictly according to medical instructions to avoid misuse.
2. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): Patients with accompanying pelvic pain may appropriately use NSAIDs to relieve symptoms.
3. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM): Chinese patent medicines such as Fuke Qianjin tablets, Jinji granules, and Honghua tablets have effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and can improve inflammatory tissue and cellular functions. These medications should be taken under the guidance of qualified TCM practitioners.
Good hygiene practices should be maintained during drug treatment, excessive fatigue should be avoided, immunity should be enhanced, which is beneficial for disease recovery. Regular gynecological examinations should also be conducted to promptly detect and manage pelvic inflammation.
All medications must be used under the guidance of a physician; self-medication is not recommended. If symptoms persist or worsen, timely medical attention is advised.
