Patient's question:
Female, 30 years old. I have been menopausal for the past two years, but recently I have been experiencing severe itching in the external genitalia and vaginal opening, and the odor of my discharge is also quite strong. After examination, it was diagnosed as pelvic inflammatory disease. Please ask: What should I pay attention to when I have pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
Patients with pelvic inflammatory disease should avoid spicy and irritating foods, alcohol, tobacco, scallions, chives, chili peppers, ginger, coriander, seafood, and other such items. A light diet is recommended, and drinking plenty of water is beneficial. Additionally, sexual activity must be strictly prohibited to prevent cross-infection, and underwear should be washed and changed frequently. Furthermore, patients need to maintain dietary discipline, follow a regular sleep schedule, and regulate their physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood, consume more light, soft, and easily digestible foods, drink plenty of water, and eat more fruits and vegetables.
