Patient's question:
I am a 33-year-old woman, and I went through menopause two years ago. However, recently I have been experiencing intense itching in my external genitalia and vaginal opening, and the odor of my discharge is also quite strong. Could you please tell me what tests can be done to diagnose pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital's gynecology department for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination to check for any abnormalities in the fallopian tubes and ovaries. If the diagnosis is pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), timely treatment can be initiated. Treatment for PID typically involves oral medication combined with vaginal medication. If necessary, surgical treatment can also be performed.Afterward, the patient needs to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, and regulate physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood, eat light, soft, and easily digestible foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
