Patient's question:
I am 71 years old and my mental state has not been very good recently. I don't know why, but I would like to ask: How is pelvic inflammatory disease caused?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a common gynecological inflammation, primarily characterized by increased vaginal discharge, odor, external genital itching, abdominal pain, or pain during intercourse. The causes can include poor hygiene, downward transmission from vaginitis or cervicitis. After examination and diagnosis, symptomatic treatment measures can be adopted to allow for self-healing, such as taking anti-inflammatory medications or receiving intravenous anti-inflammatory treatments. 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 light, soft, and easy-to-digest foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
