Patient's question:
I am a 72-year-old woman with poor mental state. I feel sick. After checking, I found out which disease it is. Please ask: How is pelvic inflammatory disease caused?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is generally caused by backward transmission due to poor hygiene, such as using unclean sanitary pads during menstruation, neglecting personal hygiene after childbirth, or inappropriate uterine cavity surgery leading to infection, among other possible reasons. In addition to conditions like abdominal infection or appendicitis, PID may also be triggered. Then, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, and regulate their physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to keep a positive mood, eat more light, soft, and easily digestible foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
