Patient's question:
I am a 25-year-old woman. My daughter has no sexual life, and I also pay attention to her hygiene. However, recently the girl always feels itchy in her external genital area, and her studies have been affected. She is very upset.Could you please tell me: What are the causes of pelvic inflammatory disease in women?
Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) refers to the inflammation of the female upper reproductive tract and its surrounding tissues. The most common forms are salpingitis and tubo-ovarian abscess. The typical symptoms include fever, lower abdominal pain, tenderness, increased vaginal discharge with a purulent consistency, fatigue, lower back pain, and menstrual disorders. Gynecological diseases can cause lower back pain because the organs are located in the waist and abdomen, leading to referred pain. The most significant factor affecting a woman's ability to give birth is gynecological inflammation. Therefore, PID must be treated actively. Since everyone's physical condition is different, the treatment methods used also vary. Only through targeted and thorough examinations can the condition be accurately diagnosed.
