Does pelvic inflammatory disease cause abdominal pain when pressed?

Patient's question:

I have pelvic inflammatory disease and appendicitis, but now my abdomen and lower back hurt when pressed, and the area below the stomach is uncomfortable, including the stomach, and I often dry heave.

Doctor's answer:

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) refers to the inflammation of the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and surrounding tissues. In a narrower sense, PID specifically refers to inflammation of the female internal reproductive organs. It is a common gynecological condition and one of the causes of infertility. It can be caused by improper uterine procedures, gynecological infections, or can be spread by conditions such as peritonitis or appendicitis. However, if patients with acute PID do not receive thorough treatment, it can easily become chronic, making treatment more challenging. In addition to symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. Patients must avoid excessive mental stress and anxiety to prevent unnecessary interference with the complete recovery from PID.
