[Drug treatment]

Antibiotics are the main treatment for acute pelvic inflammatory disease, including multiple routes of administration such as intravenous infusion, intramuscular injection or oral administration. Broad-spectrum antibiotics should be used in combination with anti-anaerobic drugs, and attention should be paid to the adequate course of treatment. It can also be combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment to achieve better results.

[Surgical treatment]

Patients with lumps such as hydrosalpinx or tubo-ovarian cysts can undergo surgical treatment; patients with small foci of infection and repeated inflammation are also suitable for surgical treatment. The principle of surgery is to completely cure the disease and avoid the chance of recurrence of residual lesions. Adnexemectomy or salpingectomy 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.
