Patient's question:
Female, 27 years old. My daughter has no sexual life, and I also pay attention to her hygiene situation. However, recently the girl always feels itchy in the external genital area, and later found out it was pelvic inflammatory disease. Her studies have been affected, and she is very upset. Please ask: Why does one get pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) tends to recur when a woman's body resistance increases or when her own protective functions are damaged. There are many causes of PID, such as postpartum infection, post-hysteroscopy infection, infection from adjacent organs, or poor hygiene habits during menstruation. It is important to pay attention to personal hygiene. Additionally, in daily life, patients should maintain a balanced nutritional intake, engage in aerobic exercises to strengthen their bodies, and keep a positive mood to enhance their physical condition and accelerate recovery.
