Patient's question:
I had a thorough check-up at the hospital a few days ago. I felt that my leukorrhea was abnormal, and the doctor told me that I had mild cervical erosion, in addition to pelvic inflammatory disease. I was stunned. She asked if it hurt when she touched my uterus, and she poked very hard. Of course, it hurt a lot, and she then said it was pelvic inflammatory disease. I just got a boyfriend, and I always pay attention to hygiene. Hello, is it that easy to diagnose pelvic inflammatory disease? I won’t have children for another two or three years, and I’m under so much pressure now. I’m only twenty years old.Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) refers to the inflammation of the female pelvic reproductive organs, the connective tissues surrounding the uterus, and the pelvic peritoneum. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is often a result of inadequate treatment during the acute phase. In fact, the female reproductive system has natural protective functions, which can normally resist bacterial invasion. PID may recur only when the body's resistance increases or when the natural protective functions of the female reproductive system are compromised due to other reasons. Patients with PID are prone to fatigue, lower abdominal heaviness, pain, and lower back pain. These symptoms often worsen during physical exertion, sexual intercourse, and before or after menstruation. It is recommended to adopt a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for treatment, as this approach will not lead to drug resistance and yields better therapeutic effects.
