What usually causes pelvic inflammatory disease?

Patient's question:

At the age of 70, after getting sick, taking medicine did not seem to have much effect, and I still felt uncomfortable. I would like to ask: What are the common causes of pelvic inflammatory disease?

Doctor's answer:

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is caused by improper hygiene, leading to gynecological infections, such as infections from uterine cavity surgery, poor hygiene during menstruation, cross-infection during sexual intercourse, and chronic inflammation of adjacent organs affecting the pelvic area. Under the guidance of a doctor, antibiotics and other medications can be used for anti-inflammatory and antibacterial treatment. Physical therapy can also be applied. For more severe symptoms, surgical treatment may be necessary.
After treatment, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, and regulate their physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to keep a positive mood, eat light and soft foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
