Patient's question:
I went through menopause two years ago, but recently I've been experiencing severe itching in my outer genital area and around the vaginal opening, and the discharge also has a strong odor. Could you please tell me: What are the prominent symptoms commonly associated with pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of acute pelvic inflammatory disease are characterized by: rapid onset, severe condition, recurrent lower abdominal pain, fever, chills, headache, loss of appetite. On examination, the patient appears acutely ill with high fever, rapid heart rate, muscle tension, tenderness, and rebound tenderness in the lower abdomen. Pelvic examination reveals: a large amount of purulent discharge from the vagina, significant tenderness in the fornix, tenderness and rebound tenderness in the uterus and bilateral adnexa, or thickening of one adnexa. This gynecological condition is difficult to relieve. Friends with this condition should always maintain an optimistic attitude and face it with a positive mindset. Only in this way can they enhance their confidence in combating gynecological issues and believe that recovery is certain.
