How to treat pelvic masses

If a woman develops a pelvic mass during an examination, she should pay attention, as this may be related to chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. We know that chronic pelvic inflammatory disease may cause hyperplasia and eventually cause a mass due to repeated inflammatory stimulation. At this time, medication should be used in time to eliminate the inflammation in a timely manner. More serious cases can be treated surgically. Let us now learn how to treat pelvic masses.

How to treat pelvic masses

1. General treatment can relieve patients' mental concerns, enhance their confidence in treatment, increase nutrition, exercise, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and improve the body's resistance.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine is used to treat chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, mostly of the damp-heat type, and the treatment principle is to clear away heat and remove dampness. The main function of the prescription is to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. The prescription uses: Salvia miltiorrhiza 18g, Red Peony Root 15g, Costus Root 12g, Peach Kernel 9g, Honeysuckle 30g, Taraxacum Mulberry 30g, Poria 12g, Moutan Bark 9g, and Rehmannia Glutinosa 9g. If the pain is severe, add 9g of Corydalis yanhusuo. Some patients are of the cold stagnation and qi stagnation type, and the treatment principle is to warm the meridians and dispel the cold, promote qi and activate blood circulation. Guizhi Fuling Decoction is often used with modifications. For those with qi deficiency, add 15g of Codonopsis pilosula, 9g of Atractylodes macrocephala, and 15g of Astragalus membranaceus.

3. Physical therapy: The benign stimulation of warmth can promote local blood circulation in the pelvic cavity. Improve the nutritional status of tissues and enhance metabolism to facilitate the absorption and disappearance of inflammation. Commonly used ones are shortwave, ultrashort wave, iontophoresis (various drugs such as penicillin, streptomycin, etc. can be added), wax therapy, etc.

4. Other drug treatments: When using anti-inflammatory drugs, 5 mg of α-chymotrypsin or 1500 U of hyaluronidase can also be used at the same time, injected intramuscularly once every other day, 5 to 10 times as a course of treatment, to facilitate the absorption of adhesion and inflammation. The medication should be discontinued if local or systemic allergic reactions occur in individual patients. In some cases, antibiotics are used simultaneously with dexamethasone, 0.75 mg of dexamethasone is taken orally 3 times a day, and the dose should be gradually reduced when the drug is discontinued.

5. Surgical treatment is suitable for lumps such as hydrosalpinx or tubo-ovarian cysts; surgical treatment is also suitable for those with small infection foci and repeated inflammation. The principle of surgery is complete cure to avoid recurrence of residual lesions. Unilateral oophorectomy or radical hysterectomy plus bilateral oophorectomy is performed. For young women, ovarian function should be preserved as much as possible. The effect of single therapy for chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is poor, and comprehensive treatment is appropriate. Pelvic inflammatory disease is a common gynecological disease and is the abbreviation for inflammation of the female pelvic reproductive organs, including metritis, pelvic peritonitis, pelvic gland inflammation and fallopian tube oophoritis. Traditional Chinese medicine also has some good ways to treat pelvic inflammatory disease. Traditional Chinese medicine divides pelvic inflammatory disease into five categories. By combining syndrome differentiation and treatment with Western medicine, it can achieve the effect of treating both the symptoms and the root cause.
