Patient's question:
I am 21 years old this year. In recent days, when washing my underwear, I always find a lot of curd-like secretions on them, and they have a very strong odor. I also feel that my private area is always damp and a bit itchy, and my lower abdomen is uncomfortable. Please ask: Why do I get pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
There are several causes of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). For example, having sexual intercourse during menstruation can trigger PID, frequent sexual activity can also lead to PID, and poor hygiene after sexual activity may cause PID symptoms. Lack of hygiene during menstruation can also result in PID. Additionally, a history of induced abortion or other gynecological procedures may increase the risk of developing PID.Regarding this condition, patients should not only receive necessary treatment but also pay attention to self-care in their daily lives. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and regular sleep schedule can help them recover from the disease more quickly.
