Where to apply moxibustion for chronic pelvic inflammatory disease

Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is very difficult to treat. Many female friends need to take medication for a long time to prevent their condition from getting worse again and again. Moreover, many medications will bring significant side effects to the patient's body. Therefore, if you need to persist in treatment for a long time, you can choose Chinese medicine methods, such as moxibustion. Regular moxibustion can appropriately alleviate the symptoms of patients.

① Pay attention to sexual hygiene to reduce sexually transmitted diseases. Screening and treatment of women at high risk for Chlamydia trachomatis infection can reduce the incidence of pelvic inflammatory disease. Although bacterial vaginosis is associated with pelvic inflammatory disease, it is unclear whether testing and treating bacterial vaginosis can reduce the incidence of pelvic inflammatory disease.

② Treat lower reproductive tract infection promptly.

③ Public health education: raising public awareness of reproductive tract infections and the importance of preventing them.

④ Strictly grasp the indications for gynecological surgery, make good preoperative preparations, pay attention to aseptic operation during surgery, and prevent infection.

⑤ Treat pelvic inflammatory disease promptly to prevent sequelae.

Pay attention to personal hygiene

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. Also, when you suffer from 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.

Avoid sexual intercourse during sensitive periods

In case of vaginal bleeding during menstruation, after abortion, and after gynecological surgery such as IUD insertion and removal, you must refrain from sexual intercourse, swimming, tub baths, and saunas, and change sanitary napkins frequently. As this will reduce the body's resistance, pathogenic bacteria can easily take advantage of the opportunity to enter and cause infection. Patients with fever usually sweat a lot when the fever subsides, so they should pay attention to keeping warm and keeping the body dry.

Change clothes after sweating and avoid air conditioning or direct convection wind.

Pay attention to self-examination and early detection and early treatment

Pay attention to the amount, 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.

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.
