Patient's question:
I am 71 years old and after getting sick, taking medicine did not seem to be very effective, I still feel uncomfortable. Please ask: How could pelvic inflammatory disease be caused?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is essentially an inflammatory response that occurs when pelvic tissues are infected by bacteria. If unhygienic sanitary pads are used during menstruation or a uterine surgery is performed, it may lead to infection and potentially cause PID. Additionally, if adjacent organs such as the abdomen or appendix develop inflammation again, it may also affect the pelvic area, leading to pelvic infection and resulting in PID.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.
