Patient's question:
Completed the D&C 9 days ago. Due to lower abdominal pain and a thorough examination, an ultrasound was performed. The doctor said the uterine cavity was clean after the procedure, but there was pelvic inflammation. He prescribed medication, and since taking it, my lower abdominal pain seems to be even more severe than before. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is highly dangerous and can be classified as acute or chronic. Chronic PID is often a result of inadequate treatment of acute PID, while acute PID is primarily caused by bacterial downward transmission. If PID is not treated promptly, it can lead to female infertility. For patients, if the condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary. Otherwise, PID may recur. Additionally, patients should maintain a proper diet and stay in a good mood.
