Patient's question:
I have lower abdominal pain, lower back pain, excessive white discharge that is yellow and has an odor, and breast pain with lumps one week before my period. How are pelvic and treated?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) refers to an infection of the uterus (uterus), fallopian tubes (tubes connecting the uterus and ovaries), and other reproductive organs, causing symptoms such as lower abdominal pain. It is often a complication of many sexually transmitted diseases (STIs), particularly severe ones like chlamydia and gonorrhea. It can damage nearby structures such as the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and tissues. It may lead to serious consequences, including infertility, ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy outside the fallopian tubes or elsewhere in the uterus), the formation of abscesses, and chronic pelvic pain.
