Patient's question:
I've been married for less than a year, and recently my menstrual cycle hasn't been regular—it's been delayed by many days. Later, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the result was pelvic inflammatory disease. What should I do? I'm also planning to have a baby soon. The check-up results mentioned that there's a small amount of fluid in the pelvis, etc. Is pelvic inflammatory disease serious?Doctor's answer:
Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is often caused by inadequate or incomplete treatment of acute pelvic inflammatory disease, or due to poor patient constitution and prolonged duration of the illness. It is difficult to cure, and after improvement or spontaneous recovery, it should be stabilized for a certain period of time. Additionally, pay attention to cleaning the external genitalia of both partners before sexual intercourse and maintaining good hygiene conditions. In fact, having pelvic inflammatory disease is not, and patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected in time and symptomatic treatment is provided, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
