Patient's question:
Female, 33 years old. Recently, she has found that her private area is always itchy and feels hot, as if it were being burned. Is this a sign of pelvic inflammatory disease? Please ask: What are the causes of pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
Because pelvic inflammatory disease is an inflammation, the main cause is bacterial infection, which can be external or from your own bacteria. In addition, poor hygiene during menstruation, especially with sanitary pads, is a factor. Also, transmission after childbirth or miscarriage, or postoperative infections after uterine cavity surgery, can be causes. Additionally, other abdominal diseases may lead to it. Then, patients should pay attention to maintaining a light diet, keeping a good mood, avoiding staying up late and late nights, ensuring sufficient sleep time. Next, it is important to maintain a habit of exercise. In daily life, it is also crucial to avoid excessive hunger or fullness, and not to overeat.
