Patient's question:
I am 28 years old, female. A few days ago, I found out I have pelvic inflammatory disease. Now, my right side of the abdomen hurts severely, and even walking hurts. What are the possible causes of pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is mainly caused by unsafe sexual practices and poor hygiene. Some women develop PID due to chronic vaginal infections that are not treated promptly. It is essential to actively cooperate in treatment to control the progression of the condition. Pay close attention to local hygiene, change underwear frequently, and opt for pure cotton, loose, and breathable underwear as the foundation. Maintain a light diet and drink plenty of water. Patients should develop a regular sleep schedule, adhere to treatment, and follow a light diet while engaging in aerobic exercise. This can help boost the immune system and reduce the risk of infection.
