How to treat chronic pelvic inflammatory disease

Pelvic inflammatory disease is very harmful to women's health, especially chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, which lasts for a long time and is prone to recurrence during treatment. For patients, it is necessary to actively receive treatment to eliminate the inflammation of pelvic inflammatory disease. There are many treatment methods, and some antibacterial drugs are often used for treatment. In addition, physical therapy, surgical treatment, etc. are all common treatment methods.

1. General treatment

Enhance confidence in treatment, increase nutrition, exercise, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and improve the body's resistance. Avoid reinfection or spread of infection.

2. Physical therapy

Warmth can promote local blood circulation in the pelvis, improve the nutritional status of tissues, and enhance metabolism, which is beneficial to the absorption and disappearance of inflammation. At the same time, combined with relevant drug treatments, it can promote the body's absorption and utilization of drugs. Commonly used ones include shortwave, ultrashort wave, microwave, laser, iontophoresis (various drugs such as penicillin, streptomycin, etc. can be added), etc.

3. Antimicrobial therapy

Long-term or repeated combination therapy with multiple antibiotics sometimes has no significant therapeutic effect, but it can be used for young people who need to preserve their fertility or during acute attacks. It is best to use anti-chlamydia or mycoplasma drugs at the same time.

4. Other drug treatments

While using antibacterial drugs, chymotrypsin or hyaluronidase can also be used for intramuscular injection once every other day, with 7 to 10 times as a course of treatment, to facilitate the decomposition of adhesions and the absorption of 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, which is taken orally three times a day, with a gradual reduction in the dose of dexamethasone before discontinuation.

5. Surgery

It is suitable for some patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. Due to long-term inflammatory stimulation, adhesions form around the organs, and anti-inflammatory drugs are not easy to enter, resulting in repeated attacks of the disease.

Chronic inflammation can cause pelvic congestion and menorrhagia, menstrual disorders when ovarian function is damaged, and infertility when fallopian tube adhesions and blockages occur. Acute inflammation may cause serious consequences such as diffuse peritonitis, sepsis and even septic shock; chronic inflammation, due to long-term treatment and repeated attacks, affects women's normal work and life as well as their physical and mental health.
