Patient's question:
A 29-year-old woman is not in good mental state and feels sick. After checking, she was diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease. Please ask: Under what circumstances can pelvic inflammatory disease be caused?Doctor's answer:
Actually, sexual activity is not recommended during menstruation. Menstruation involves menstrual blood, which is often said to be an excellent bacterial culture medium. If you already have conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease or vaginal infections, engaging in sexual activity during menstruation can allow these pathogens to travel through the menstrual blood into the uterine cavity, significantly increasing the risk of downward transmission. Do not feel any psychological pressure and maintain a positive mood. During this period, pay attention to getting more rest, and maintain a light diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods. This is beneficial for both you and the fetus in your womb.
