What medicine to take for abdominal inflammation and pelvic inflammatory disease

If there are obvious symptoms of peritonitis and pelvic inflammatory disease, or if a serious infection is suspected, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. The doctor will examine you to determine the cause and determine the medication plan.

Peritoneitis is usually caused by infection or inflammation of organs within the abdominal cavity, while pelvic inflammatory disease is mainly related to infection of female reproductive organs. Both conditions are mostly caused by bacterial infections, such as E. coli, Streptococcus, or sexually transmitted infection pathogens. Because the location of inflammation and the pathogens are different, the choice of drugs needs to be different for each person, and random use of drugs may delay the disease or induce drug resistance.

If a mild bacterial infection is confirmed, the doctor may prescribe broad-spectrum antibiotics, such as cephalosporins, metronidazole or levofloxacin to control the infection; if the inflammation is caused by a sexually transmitted pathogen, combined treatment may be required, such as the addition of azithromycin or doxycycline. Severe infections or abscesses usually require intravenous antibiotic treatment, and even surgical intervention to drain the pus. It is important that the course of drug use must be adjusted according to the doctor's advice. Interruption or insufficient medication may cause recurrence or complications.

To prevent recurrence, you need to maintain good personal hygiene, such as women should avoid wearing sanitary pads for a long time and keep the vulva clean and ventilated; pay attention to safety measures during sexual intercourse to avoid infection; enhance immunity, such as through regular work and rest, balanced diet and moderate exercise to help the body better fight bacterial invasion. Once symptoms such as fever, abdominal pain, abnormal vaginal discharge or difficulty urinating occur, you should see a doctor as soon as possible to get a clear diagnosis and timely treatment.
