Patient's question:
I have always had pelvic inflammatory disease, and my abdomen often feels bloated and painful. Sometimes, if I sit for too long, the muscles around my lower abdomen feel relieved from pain. Lately, my vaginal discharge has increased and is slightly yellow. I am not planning to get pregnant right now. Could you please tell me if I can take birth control pills with pelvic inflammatory disease (with fluid accumulation)?Doctor's answer:
In your case, you have pelvic inflammatory fluid accumulation, which is generally not contradictory to taking birth control pills. You have pelvic inflammation, which indicates that you have gynecological inflammation, and this requires treatment. Moreover, you have obvious symptoms, such as headaches and lower back pain. Based on the amount of pelvic fluid accumulation, the choice will be made between oral medication or intravenous administration. It is important to pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid exposure to cold. Do not suffer needlessly.
