Patient's question:
Female, 31 years old. My daughter has no sexual life, and I have always paid attention to her hygiene. However, recently the girl has been feeling itchy in her external genital area, and later found out it was pelvic inflammatory disease. Her studies have been affected, and she is very distressed. Please ask: What tests should women undergo if they get pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to have a detailed abdominal ultrasound examination at the hospital and not to take it lightly. You may have pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Pelvic inflammatory disease refers to inflammation of the upper female reproductive tract and its surrounding tissues, including endometritis, salpingitis, tubo-ovarian abscess, and pelvic peritonitis. PID can be acute or chronic. You can take Levofloxacin capsules and Metronidazole tablets orally. After the symptoms subside, you can use traditional Chinese medicine enemas, and physiotherapy is also very effective.
