Patient's question:
In 2008, I had an abortion, and after the surgery, I contracted acute pelvic inflammatory disease. Due to my weak constitution, it later turned into chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. Before that, I also had a fungal infection. Here is the history and effectiveness of previous treatments: I received a year of anti-inflammatory injections to treat pelvic inflammatory disease, but it always improved and then flared up again. Additionally, because I was only treated for pelvic inflammatory disease, the fungal infection frequently recurred, turning it into mixed vaginal infection.Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is one of the common gynecological diseases, divided into chronic and acute types. If acute PID is treated promptly, thoroughly, and effectively, it is often curable. If treatment is delayed, it can become chronic. This type of pelvic inflammatory disease often leads to infertility in women. However, the condition can be stubborn, and during times when the body's resistance is low, it may have acute recurrences. Since PID often interferes with quality of life and sexual life due to prolonged duration, it can also lead to infertility and even tumors.
