The three most common treatments for chronic adnexitis

1. Supportive treatment: Patients can increase their nutritional intake and perform appropriate physical exercise to improve the body's resistance and enhance their ability to resist disease.

2. Drug treatment: You can use some Chinese patent medicines under the guidance of a doctor. When taking such medicines, patients must follow the course of treatment. They should not stop or reduce the dosage without authorization if they feel that the symptoms have been relieved. This will not only affect the effect of the treatment, but also cause the disease to recur.

3. Physical therapy: When drug treatment is not very effective, physical therapy can be used in conjunction with it, such as using laser, microwave, ion penetration therapy, etc. Physical therapy can promote local blood circulation, improve the nutritional status of human tissues, and enhance the body's metabolic capacity, thereby facilitating the absorption and disappearance of inflammation. It is important to note that after suffering from acute adnexitis, active and thorough treatment must be carried out to prevent the disease from prolonging and turning into chronic adnexitis. At the same time, you should reduce the frequency of sexual intercourse, so that the pathogens are reduced and the inflammation will heal faster. While actively treating acute and chronic adnexitis, lower reproductive tract infections should also be actively treated, because vaginitis and cervicitis may cause pathogens to ascend. If the patient has a contraceptive ring in his abdomen, he should consider removing it.

When drug treatment is not very effective, it can be combined with physical therapy, such as the use of laser, microwave, iontophoresis, etc. Physical therapy can promote local blood circulation, improve the nutritional status of human tissues, and enhance the body's metabolic capacity, thereby facilitating the absorption and disappearance of inflammation. It is important to note that after suffering from acute adnexitis, active and thorough treatment must be carried out to prevent the disease from prolonging and turning into chronic adnexitis.
