Patient's question:
Before getting divorced, I had an abortion. Since the abortion, I have often felt lower back pain, abdominal pain, yellow discharge with a smell, and sometimes a sensation of heaviness in the lower abdomen. When I went to the hospital to see a doctor, they said it was caused by chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.Doctor's answer:
Symptoms and Physical Characteristics of Chronic Pelvic Inflammation: Generally, it involves lower back pain and more pronounced abdominal pain, along with a continuous increase in leukorrhea. Some cases may resemble appendicitis, with yellow or yellow-green leukorrhea and a sense of heaviness. Pressure on the area may cause tenderness, and it can lead to certain menstrual irregularities. Symptoms often worsen after physical exertion, sexual intercourse, or around the time of menstruation. Chronic pelvic inflammation is often accompanied by pelvic effusion.If symptoms of pelvic inflammation are detected, it is essential to seek timely treatment to avoid missing the best opportunity for recovery. Although pelvic inflammation is highly dangerous, its harm, especially in chronic cases, often develops gradually, making it easy to overlook. Even when some people occasionally experience discomfort, they may casually take antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications and stop treatment once the inflammation subsides, which is not standardized.
