Having sex during menstruation or postpartum recovery () can easily lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Additionally, inflammation spreading from other parts of the body, as well as postoperative infections, can also cause it. It is recommended that you do not worry about the cause and seek proper treatment, as this can effectively alleviate the condition. Treatment at a reputable hospital, maintaining good hygiene, and avoiding unsafe sex are key. Different causes lead to different symptoms, so patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at a high-level Grade III hospital as soon as possible to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, stay warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of warm water daily.
