Patient's question:
My period ended on the 16th, but I had some mild lower abdominal pain on the 17th and 18th. Since I had pelvic inflammatory disease five years ago and it was later treated, I can no longer distinguish between general stomach pain and gynecological pain. Last night, when the pain wasn't too severe, I ate two oranges. They might have been too cold, and after eating them, the pain started again. I also feel gas in my stomach. After sleeping well this morning, the pain feels less than yesterday. Is this gynecological inflammation? Is it necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up?Medical History and Treatment Outcome: Not treated.

Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you have pelvic inflammatory disease, it is very easy to have recurrent episodes in a chronic form. If you usually feel lower back pain and a heavy sensation in the lower abdomen, and it worsens during your menstrual period, then you should consider the possibility of gynecological inflammation. If it is simply due to a feeling of stomach cold, there is no need to be anxious. You can carefully observe the situation. If it is gynecological inflammation, you should go to the hospital for a thorough examination and then receive symptomatic treatment. Gynecological inflammation is an easily occurring gynecological disease. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during the treatment period and pay close attention to cleanliness. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
