Herbal Treatments for Pelvic Inflammatory Disease

It can occur suddenly and at any age. About half of women worldwide experience it at least once in their lives. Fortunately, it is easily diagnosed and treated.

Pelvic inflammatory disease is an inflammation of the ovaries and fallopian tubes. It often accompanies inflammation of the uterus and vagina. The most common symptoms are severe lower abdominal pain, discharge, and elevated temperature, as well as bloating, diarrhea, constipation, and intestinal cramps. If you notice such symptoms, be sure to see a doctor. Do not neglect treatment, as chronic inflammation can cause adhesions in the fallopian tubes and scarring on the ovaries. This can lead to prolonged and uncomfortable menopause. It’s worth supplementing treatment with herbal remedies, sitz baths, or tinctures. You can also apply a very effective treatment, which involves simultaneously using herbal tea for drinking and a decoction for irrigation.
