Patient's question:
Recently, my lower abdomen has been a bit painful. Since my period hasn't come, it's not menstrual cramps. Could it be some gynecological disease? For example, pelvic inflammatory disease? So, what are the dangers of not treating pelvic inflammatory disease in a timely manner?Doctor's answer:
The dangers of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID):1. Pelvic refers to a general term for inflammation in a woman's pelvic cavity, including endometritis, salpingitis, and oophoritis, etc. It is generally divided into acute and chronic types based on different symptoms. The common causes of acute PID mainly include infections after childbirth, miscarriage, or intrauterine surgical procedures, bacterial infections during menstruation, as well as the spread of surrounding inflammation and acute recurrence of chronic PID.
2. For patients with acute PID, lower abdominal pain is common in daily life, accompanied by backache, frequent urination, urinary urgency, and difficulty urinating. Severe cases may also experience low fever, chills, headaches, and poor appetite.
