How can mild pelvic inflammation be treated?
Answer
The main causes of pelvic inflammation include postpartum or miscarriage infection, infection after intrauterine surgical procedures, poor hygiene during menstruation, and direct spread of inflammation from adjacent organs. Treatment methods include general treatment, alleviating psychological concerns of the patient, enhancing nutrition, exercising the body, and using medication.

Common herbal formulas include Danshen, Chishao, Muxiang, Taoren, etc. For patients with severe pain, Yanyu Suo can be added. If the patient is of the cold congealing and qi stagnation type, the treatment principle is to warm the meridians and dispel coldness, and promote qi circulation and blood circulation. For those with qi deficiency, herbs such as Dangshen, Baizhu, and Huangqi can be added.
