Patient's question:
Female, 26 years old. I have been menopausal for two years, but recently I have been feeling very itchy in the external genitalia and vaginal opening, and the odor of the discharge is also quite strong. After examination, it was found to be pelvic inflammatory disease. Please ask: Can I get pelvic inflammatory disease by rubbing a pillow through underwear to achieve climax?Doctor's answer:
One should never get pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID is usually caused by taking a bath during one's period or having sexual intercourse during one's period. It is important to pay attention to personal hygiene, wash and change underwear frequently, avoid sitting baths as much as possible, change sanitary pads frequently during one's period, and keep the area between the legs dry. Additionally, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, have a regular sleep schedule, regulate their physical and mental health, and pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life. It is also recommended to eat light, soft, and easily digestible foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
