Doctor's answer:

1. Acute patients will experience abdominal pain, primarily dull pain, rectal fullness, pain in the lumbosacral region, and fever.
2. In chronic patients, the symptoms are often masked within pelvic inflammatory disease, such as rectal fullness, fatigue, an increase in menstrual volume, discomfort in the lumbosacral region, or even the recurrence of lower abdominal masses.
3. Additionally, the most significant harm to women is infertility, primarily because inflammation can lead to increased secretion in the reproductive tract, which affects sperm viability and movement; as well as hydrosalpinx and blockage of the fallopian tubes, which hinders the combination of sperm and eggs.
