Patient's question:
I have pelvic inflammatory disease, which was detected through a thorough examination two months ago. I received intravenous medication in the hospital for several days, and it improved. However, it returned shortly after. I had another week of intravenous treatment, and it got better. But recently, my vaginal discharge has increased, turned yellow, and has a smell, along with itching in the lower abdomen. I don't know what to do anymore?Doctor's answer:
If a patient with pelvic inflammatory disease receives intravenous fluids for a week, and now in these recent days there is an increase in leukorrhea with an odor and itching in the lower abdomen, it might still be caused by this inflammation, possibly combined with vaginal or cervical inflammation. It is better to have a leukorrhea routine test and an ultrasound to check. In fact, having pelvic inflammatory disease is not terrifying; patients can overcome the illness themselves. If detected early and treated promptly, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
