Patient's question:
I am 38 years old this year, and recently I have been feeling a lot of pain in my hip bone. I don't know what's going on, and I'm very worried about what illness I might have. It's said that pelvic inflammatory disease can also cause these symptoms, so I want to ask if I might have pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
Hello, pelvic inflammation can cause abdominal discomfort and pain. The inflammation can also affect adjacent tissues and organs, leading to pain. Changing your position can help reduce pain. To alleviate pain, you can undergo local therapy. A hot salt compress can increase local tension. For your hip bone, you can have an X-ray to rule out other conditions. Systemic treatment for pelvic inflammation may involve intravenous antibiotics for one to two weeks. Please go to the hospital for a thorough examination.
