Can gynecological inflammation cause low-grade fever?

Patient's question:

These days, I've been feeling itchy in my private area, not sure if it's because of poor hygiene during sex. At night, I also felt like I had a high fever and felt dizzy. Can gynecological inflammation cause a high fever?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, acute gynecological inflammation can cause fever. You need to do a blood test to check if the fever is caused by inflammation. Generally, if white blood cell count is high, it proves there is an infection. You need to undergo further gynecological examinations, such as a careful check of secretions, to see if there is vaginitis or gynecological inflammation. If it is pelvic inflammation, you need to be treated with ceftriaxone or quinolone antibiotics. First, please undergo a thorough examination.
