TCM treatment of acute pelvic inflammatory disease should be divided into stages

Traditional Chinese medicine divides acute pelvic inflammatory disease into two main stages, and the treatment methods for different stages are also very different.

1. Fever period

The fever period of acute pelvic inflammatory disease is also called the syndrome of heat and toxic congestion. The principle of traditional Chinese medicine treatment is mainly to clear away heat and detoxify, resolve blood stasis and relieve pain.
