Patient's question:
Divorced from my husband for over a year, I didn't pay attention to hygiene during sexual activity before the divorce, so now I have pelvic inflammatory disease. Now we want a child, but I don't know if this condition will affect pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) refers to the inflammation of the female internal reproductive organs and the surrounding connective tissues, as well as the peritoneum of the pelvic cavity. The pelvic fluid-filled area is a manifestation of PID fluid accumulation. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease often occurs when acute inflammation is not treated promptly, or when treatment is incomplete despite being administered, or when a person has a weaker constitution, leading to the condition directly progressing to chronic inflammation. If left untreated, it can gradually worsen. If it becomes too severe, medication may not be able to completely eliminate it, and surgery may be required. Pelvic fluid accumulation can be completely cured, but effective treatment must be administered after identifying the causative pathogen.
