Patient's question:
I am a 78-year-old woman with poor mental state. I feel sick. After checking, I found out which illness it is. Please ask: Can pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) patients have sexual intercourse?Doctor's answer:
Acute pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) cannot involve sexual activity. Once PID is fully treated, or in cases of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease without abdominal pain, sexual activity is possible. If abdominal pain occurs during sexual activity, it is likely caused by adenomyosis or endometriosis. Acute pelvic inflammatory disease is primarily treated with Western medicine antibiotics, while chronic pelvic inflammatory disease can be treated with oral Chinese medicine or Chinese medicine enemas. If the cervix reaches the uterus, it can cause excessive uterine mobility, leading to symptoms such as lower back pain.
