Patient's question:
Actually, it's usually okay, but I always get sick after my period. The specific symptoms are itching in the private area and a heavy, painful feeling in the lower abdomen. Is this a sign of inflammation? Could you please tell me: What are the causes of pelvic inflammatory disease, and is there a way to recover from it?Doctor's answer:
Common symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease:1. Dysmenorrhea: Often recurs 2-3 days before menstruation and intensifies throughout the period.
2. Lower abdominal pain of varying degrees: Pain is located in the lower abdomen or pelvic area, characterized as persistent dull pain, usually bilateral. Mild cases may cause discomfort in the lower abdomen, while severe cases, in addition to pain, may also include a sense of heaviness and fullness in the lower back. The pain often worsens after physical exertion, sexual activity, before menstruation, and during the menstrual period.
3. Increased menstrual flow: Due to pelvic blood clots, patients may experience an increase in menstrual flow. When ovarian function is impaired, menstrual disorders may occur.
4. Fever or chills: Mild pelvic inflammatory disease may present with mild fever. If the condition is severe, chills, high fever, headache, nausea, and dry vomiting may occur, with body temperature generally above 38°C.
5. Increased vaginal discharge: Abnormal increase in leukorrhea, which may manifest as mucopurulent discharge.
