Patient's question:
Female, 29 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 discharge also has a strong odor. After examination, it was diagnosed as pelvic inflammatory disease. Please ask: If I get pelvic inflammatory disease one month after an abortion, what symptoms would I have?Doctor's answer:
If you have symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease after an abortion surgery, they include: abdominal fullness and discomfort, lower back pain, excessive vaginal discharge with a foul odor and yellowish color, fever, loss of appetite, and dysuria. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for a detailed examination and early treatment to avoid delaying the condition, which may worsen the illness. During the treatment period, patients should follow a dietary plan, maintain a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate their physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene to prevent bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
