Patient's question:
Because of pelvic inflammatory disease, I underwent pelvic heat therapy (the kind placed inside the vagina). Every time I had the treatment, as well as after it, I felt my abdomen was more painful than before. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
After pelvic heat therapy, if you experience abdominal pain again, it may be related to irritation. Pay close attention and observe carefully. If the symptoms are severe, you can consider other treatment methods. During the treatment period, avoid sexual activity. In daily life, be mindful and simply rinse the external genital area with warm water. Avoid rinsing the vagina to prevent worsening pelvic inflammatory disease. This condition is difficult to resolve with comprehensive prevention and treatment. Friends with the disease should always maintain an optimistic mindset and face it with a positive attitude. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in combating pelvic inflammatory disease and believe that recovery is certain.
