Patient's question:
Female, 24 years old. I have been menopausal for two years, but recently I have always felt intense itching in the external genitalia and vaginal opening, and the odor of my discharge is also very strong. After examination, it was diagnosed as pelvic inflammatory disease. Please ask: Why do young women get pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
There are many causes of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and it is likely to be caused by the downward transmission of vaginal inflammation to the pelvic area. It is best to promptly go to the hospital for tests to determine the cause of the recurrence of PID and use appropriate medication to avoid the condition worsening. In daily life, it is advisable to avoid tub baths and opt for showers instead. Additionally, patients should maintain a balanced intake of nutrients, engage in regular aerobic exercises to stay fit, and keep a positive mood to enhance their physical condition and accelerate recovery.
