What are the TCM classifications of pelvic peritonitis?

According to the symptoms of this disease, such as lower abdominal pain, increased leucorrhea, pelvic mass and infertility, it can be classified into the category of "female abdominal pain", "leucorrhea" and "infertility" in TCM gynecology. The occurrence of this disease is mostly due to the patient's weak constitution or careless health preservation, which is caused by infection with dampness and turbidity. Dampness blocks Chong and Ren meridians, and qi and blood are not smooth, which accumulates and turns into heat, which can become a syndrome of dampness and heat or blood stasis; if the dampness and turbidity are not eliminated, the spleen and kidney yang qi will be damaged over time, and the dampness will turn into cold, which can cause the syndrome of cold dampness stagnation.
