Patient's question:
Three days ago, I had a dull pain in my lower abdomen. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with acute pelvic inflammatory disease. How is this condition treated?Doctor's answer:
Acute pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) usually causes symptoms such as abdominal pain and fever. If there is no fever and the abdominal pain is not too severe, it is generally chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. If it is acute PID, antibiotics should be administered intravenously for at least a week before a follow-up examination. If it is chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, it will not heal quickly and requires long-term treatment.It is recommended to have a follow-up examination after your menstrual period. If it is chronic pelvic inflammatory disease and the symptoms are stable, treatment can be stopped because chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is not easy to cure. As long as the symptoms disappear, the treatment can be considered successful.
Actually, having pelvic inflammatory disease is not something to be afraid of. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as the symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
