Side effects of Chinese medicine enema for pelvic inflammatory disease

Generally speaking, patients with pelvic inflammatory disease need to use Chinese medicine enema treatment, but this treatment method will produce more or less side effects on one's physical condition after frequent use. This is normal. Therefore, in order to reduce the side effects, it is necessary to prevent any infection from happening again, and closely observe one's physical condition to avoid serious illness.

1. Eliminate all routes of infection, keep the perineum clean and dry, wash the vulva with clean water every night, and use a dedicated basin for each person. Do not use your hands to clean the vagina, and do not use hot water, soap, etc. to wash the vulva. During pelvic inflammatory disease, the amount of leucorrhea is large and sticky, so you should change your underwear frequently and avoid wearing tight or synthetic underwear.

2. Fever patients usually sweat a lot when the fever subsides. They should pay attention to keeping warm and keeping the body dry. Change clothes after sweating and avoid air conditioning or direct convection wind.

3. Pay attention to the quantity, quality, color and taste of leucorrhea. If the amount of leucorrhea is large, the color is yellow and thick, and there is a foul odor, it means that the condition is serious. If the leucorrhea turns from yellow to white (or light yellow), the amount changes from large to small, and the taste tends to be normal (slightly sour), it means that the condition has improved.

4. If there is vaginal bleeding during menstruation, after abortion, and after gynecological surgery such as insertion or removal of an IUD, you must refrain from sexual intercourse, swimming, taking a tub bath, or a sauna. You must change sanitary napkins frequently. As this will reduce the body's resistance, pathogenic bacteria can easily take advantage of the opportunity to enter the body and cause infection.

5. Patients with acute or subacute pelvic inflammatory disease should keep their bowels open and observe the nature of their stools. If you see pus in your stool or have a feeling of urgency and heaviness in your abdomen, you should go to the hospital immediately to prevent pelvic abscess from rupturing the intestinal wall and causing acute peritonitis.

6. Patients diagnosed with acute or subacute pelvic inflammatory disease must follow the doctor's instructions and actively cooperate with treatment. The patient must rest in bed or take a semi-recumbent position to facilitate localization of inflammation and discharge of secretions. Patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease should not overwork, and should combine work and rest, and exercise in moderation to avoid worsening of symptoms.

7. Some patients suffer from chronic pelvic inflammatory disease and take antibiotics on their own when they feel a little uncomfortable. Long-term use can cause vaginal flora disorders, resulting in increased vaginal secretions and white, bean curd-like leucorrhea. At this time, you should go to the hospital immediately to rule out candidal vaginitis.
