Patient's question:
Previously, it was found that there was pelvic inflammatory disease with 6 cm of fluid accumulation. After taking medication for half a month, it improved. However, it flared up twice again. The doctor recommended taking levofloxacin for a week, which should resolve it. Recently, I suddenly feel lower back pain and lower abdominal pain. Hello doctor, is there a better method for it to heal completely on its own? Besides pelvic inflammatory disease, is it mostly related to catching a cold? I feel that this time the onset of the illness is related to cold feet, apart from overexertion, is there any connection?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is commonly divided into acute PID and chronic PID. If the acute phase is not treated thoroughly, it can progress to chronic PID. Therefore, active and comprehensive treatment should be administered during the acute phase, and treatment should not be stopped just because symptoms temporarily subside. At the same time, coordination in lifestyle management and prevention efforts is essential to prevent recurrence.Additionally, after developing PID, if the fallopian tubes are also affected, leading to complete occlusion due to tubal adhesions, it can interfere with future early pregnancy and result in infertility. However, if the inflammation is limited to the pelvic connective tissues and the fallopian tubes are unaffected, fertility will not be impacted. Medication-based strict treatment can effectively treat cervical inflammation.
