Patient's question:
Over the past year, I have been experiencing irregular menstruation, lower abdominal pain that is tender to touch, and an increased amount of leucorrhea that is purulent. This is often accompanied by fatigue and lower back pain. I have taken many anti-inflammatory medications, but they haven't been effective. After a thorough examination, I found out that I have pelvic inflammatory disease. I am also a very hygienic person, so what could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
The main causes of pelvic inflammatory disease include infection after childbirth or miscarriage, infection after intrauterine surgery, poor menstrual hygiene, direct spread from adjacent organ inflammation, and acute recurrence of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. In daily life, if diseases such as peritonitis or appendicitis are not diagnosed in time, inflammation can directly affect the health of a woman's pelvic cavity through direct spread, leading to the recurrence of pelvic inflammatory disease. In addition to timely treatment, patients with pelvic inflammatory disease also need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in their daily lives, as a positive mood greatly assists in the complete recovery from the disease. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you!
