Patient's question:
I am 74 years old and my mental state has not been very good recently. I don't know what's going on either. Please ask: Can pelvic inflammatory disease affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an inflammatory response caused by pathogens overwhelming the organs and tissues within the pelvic cavity. If left untreated for a long time, it can lead to female infertility and affect fertility. Patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease should strictly follow their doctor's instructions regarding medication and absolutely should not take medication on their own or stop taking it arbitrarily. Patients should pay attention to personal hygiene and change their clothes promptly. Additionally, 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 maintain a positive mood, eat more light, soft, and easily digestible foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
