Abstract

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a general term that refers to infection of the internal reproductive organs such as the female uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. PID is caused by germs that invade the genital organs, causing the acute inflammatory reaction, and chronic PID is to have a recurrence of PID because of the lack of effective treatment of acute PID. Symptoms of PID include pelvic pain, fever, leukorrhea, infertility, and fatigue. Treatments for PID can be improved by combining herb medicine therapy, intestinal irrigation, or the therapy that put herb medicine on the abdominal region with antibiotics, or analgesic drugs.
