What should be paid attention to in daily life with pelvic inflammatory disease?

Patient's question:

I feel that my white discharge is a bit abnormal, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said I had pelvic inflammatory disease and prescribed me anti-inflammatory medication. He also asked me to buy a cleaning and care liquid from the pharmacy. Now I feel a bit better. What should I pay attention to in daily life with pelvic inflammatory disease?

Doctor's answer:

Patients with pelvic inflammatory disease should pay attention not to overwork or exert excessive effort in daily life. In terms of diet, it is important to keep it light and avoid spicy foods like chili peppers, which should be consumed sparingly or not at all. Avoid drinking beer, smoking, and consuming strong tea or coffee. During menstruation, avoid sexual intercourse. Before and after sexual activity, wash the external genital area with warm water to maintain personal hygiene and prevent reinfection. Eat more vegetables and fruits.
For patients, if the condition of pelvic inflammatory disease is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be initiated with appropriate medication. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of the disease. Additionally, patients should pay attention to their diet and psychological care. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
