Patient's question:
A woman is 32 years old this year, and she doesn't know why she had this disease back then, because she didn't pay attention to it at the time. It wasn't until she felt unwell that she went for a check-up. This disease has already started to affect her life. Please ask: What is the best treatment for pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
The main pathogens causing pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) are: Staphylococcus, Escherichia coli, anaerobic bacteria, and sexually transmitted pathogens (such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma, and herpes simplex virus). The primary causes of acute pelvic inflammatory disease include postpartum or miscarriage infection, postoperative infection after intrauterine surgery, poor menstrual hygiene, and direct spread of inflammation from adjacent organs. Acute pelvic inflammatory disease can lead to acute endometritis, acute myometritis, acute salpingitis, tubal abscess, tubo-ovarian abscess, acute pelvic connective tissue inflammation, acute pelvic peritonitis, sepsis, and bacteremia, among others. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is often a result of untreated acute pelvic inflammatory disease or poor patient constitution, leading to prolonged duration.
