Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling constant pain in my lower abdomen and soreness in my waist, and my lower body has been uncomfortable. Especially in the afternoon, it's really unbearable. Could you please tell me: What are the symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) are quite noticeable. If a woman experiences one-sided or bilateral lower abdominal pain, a sense of fullness or heaviness, and lower back pain in daily life, along with an increase in vaginal discharge, as well as issues like menstrual irregularities, dyspareunia (pain during intercourse), and fever during menstruation, it may indicate that she has pelvic inflammatory disease. Many women who develop PID often feel puzzled in their daily lives, wondering why they have contracted this condition. In reality, the development of PID in women is largely related to poor menstrual hygiene, activities such as working in paddy fields or ice skating during menstruation, among other factors. Additionally, another cause of PID in women is sexual relationship disorders and the spread of sexually transmitted infections.
