Patient's question:
I have chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. A few days ago, I had a medication-induced abortion, but it wasn't completely effective, so I had a D&C procedure. I received intravenous fluids for nine days. I have some dull pressure and fullness in my rectum. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is generally caused by the untreated infection of vaginitis, and frequent uterine cavity surgeries can also lead to bacterial infiltration, resulting in conditions like PID. It often accompanies symptoms such as abdominal pain and increased vaginal discharge. While undergoing anti-inflammatory intravenous therapy, you can also complement it with abdominal physiotherapy to enhance local inflammation absorption, which is beneficial for recovery. Additionally, it's important to take proper contraceptive measures to avoid accidental pregnancy, which may cause physical harm.
