Patient's question:
I am 24 years old this year. It's actually okay most of the time, but I always get sick after each menstrual period. The specific symptoms are itching in the private area and lower abdominal pain. Please ask: Is pelvic effusion the same as pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a common gynecological condition, including endometritis, pelvic peritonitis, pelvic ligamentitis, and salpingitis. The main factors causing PID are: poor personal hygiene conditions; the widespread use of intrauterine devices (IUDs); postpartum and post-abortion infections; insufficient emphasis on sterile procedures before and during certain gynecological minor surgeries; and unprotected or menstrual intercourse. These are all factors that can lead to PID, which can be divided into acute and chronic types. Acute PID often has a history of acute infectious diseases, characterized by lower abdominal pain, tenderness and rebound tenderness, fever, and a large amount of purulent vaginal discharge.
