Patient's question:
I am a 24-year-old female. My daughter has no sexual activity, and I have always paid attention to her hygiene. However, recently she has been experiencing vaginal itching, which has affected her studies. She is very troubled. Could you please tell me what could cause pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) can be caused by several factors, such as poor hygiene in women's gynecological health, cross-infection during sexual activity, vaginitis, cervicitis, and other gynecological inflammatory conditions that can lead to PID. Additionally, PID may occur when the body's resistance is weakened or during the menstrual period and after sexual activity. In daily life, it is necessary to maintain stable prevention and treatment. Patients should also adhere to a balanced diet, maintain regular sleep patterns, and regulate their physical and mental health. It is important to maintain a positive mood and consume light, soft, and easily digestible foods. Drinking plenty of water and eating more vegetables and fruits is also recommended.
