Question
I have mild pelvic inflammatory disease and would like to know which medications can be purchased for treatment.
Answer
The main causes of pelvic inflammatory disease include infection after childbirth or miscarriage, infection after uterine surgery, poor hygiene during menstruation, and inflammation spreading from nearby organs. In terms of treatment, it is first important to alleviate the patient’s concerns about the condition, boost their confidence in treatment, and ensure adequate rest and nutrition, as well as a balance between work and rest. For chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, common treatments include the use of Chinese herbal medicines such as Salvia miltiorrhiza, Spiraea salicina, Acorus tatarinowii, and Akebia quinata. For patients with more severe pain, Corydalis yanhusuo can be added. For patients with cold and stagnant qi, warm-meridians and dispelling cold, as well as promoting blood circulation and relieving pain can be achieved through Chinese herbal formulas such as Qianliang Tang with modifications. For those with qi deficiency, ginseng, Atractylodes macrocephala, and Astragalus membranaceus can be added.
