Patient's question:
I've recently been feeling unwell. Over the past few months, every time I have my period, I always feel lower back pain. Sometimes I have to rub my back with my hands to get a little relief. Before, I would never have experienced this. At most, I would just feel some leg fatigue during my period. Someone told me I might have acute pelvic inflammatory disease.Doctor's answer:
Onset with lower abdominal pain, accompanied by fever and chills. If accompanied by peritonitis, there may be nausea, dry vomiting, abdominal pain, and nausea/vomiting. If an abscess forms, there may be a lower abdominal mass and local pressure symptoms, such as bladder irritation symptoms and rectal pressure symptoms. Symptoms include chills, high fever, headache, fatigue, poor appetite, and increased lower abdominal pain and leukorrhea. Abdominal muscle tension, lower abdominal tenderness and rebound tenderness, and internal examination showing an enlarged uterus, tenderness, pelvic masses, and abscesses. In addition to treating pelvic inflammatory disease, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical fitness and slow down the recovery process.
