What are the symptoms of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease?

Patient's question:

I am a woman who is a bit particular about cleanliness. Whenever I have sex with my husband, I take a bath early. After having sex, I also need to wash my buttocks. I change my underwear every day. Recently, I have had some white discharge, and besides the odor, my lower abdomen has been very painful, and my urethral mouth is swollen.

Doctor's answer:

Hello 1(1) Chronic pelvic pain: Scarring adhesions caused by chronic inflammation and pelvic congestion often lead to a heavy, aching sensation in the lower abdomen and lower back pain. It tends to worsen after physical exertion, prolonged standing, sexual intercourse, and before or after menstruation. Severe cases can affect work. (2) Infertility and ectopic pregnancy: Fallopian tube adhesions and blockages can cause infertility and ectopic pregnancy. The incidence of infertility after acute pelvic inflammatory disease is 20% to 30%. As the condition progresses, the infertility rate shows an increasing trend. (3) Abnormal menstruation: Uterus.
