Patient's question:
I sit in the office every day after work and rarely move. Now I have a lot of white discharge, and they say that inactivity can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease. How can pelvic inflammatory disease be prevented?Doctor's answer:
Avoid using the computer for too long, as computer radiation can lead to endocrine disorders. It is recommended to drink more water and eat more coarse grains. To prevent pelvic inflammatory disease, pay attention to the following points: (1) Maintain personal hygiene, avoid various transmission routes, and keep the vulva clean and dry. Wash the external genitalia every night with a dedicated basin for each person. Never insert fingers into the vagina, and absolutely avoid using hot water, soap, or other substances to wash the external genitalia. Change underwear frequently and avoid wearing leather or synthetic underwear. (2) Avoid sexual activity during sensitive periods. During menstruation, after induced abortion, and after gynecological procedures such as IUD insertion or removal, when the vagina has bleeding, sexual activity must be strictly prohibited. Ice skating, tub baths, and saunas must also be strictly avoided.
