Patient's question:
I am a woman, 30 years old. Recently, when washing my underwear, I have been finding a lot of curd-like discharge on them, and it smells very bad. I also feel that my private area is always damp and a bit itchy, and my lower abdomen is uncomfortable. Please ask: What tests are generally required for pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a gynecological internal examination to understand how you may have contracted pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID is a common gynecological inflammation, and it is essential to seek timely treatment during the acute phase to prevent the condition from worsening. Antibiotics can be taken to alleviate symptoms. Pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear frequently, and gently wash the external genital area. You may also use appropriate cleaning solutions. Maintain a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods.Subsequently, patients need to adhere to a balanced diet, maintain regular sleep patterns, and regulate their physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood and consume light, soft, and easily digestible foods. Drink plenty of water and include more vegetables and fruits in your diet.
