Patient's question:
Female, 29 years old. My daughter has no sexual life, and I have always paid attention to her hygiene. However, recently the young girl has been feeling itchy outside her vulva, and later found out it was pelvic inflammatory disease. Her studies have been affected, and she is very upset. Please ask: What should I do if my girlfriend gets pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease primarily involves anti-inflammatory therapy. Many antibiotics can be taken orally to alleviate symptoms. During acute phases, intravenous drip is recommended for faster effects. Additionally, physical therapy should be coordinated to enhance local pelvic blood circulation, such as warm compresses. Patients with ovarian cysts or tubal hydrops should undergo surgical treatment promptly. Lastly, patients should develop healthy daily habits and maintain a regular schedule.
