Patient's question:
I have been experiencing a lack of appetite recently, and occasionally, I also have lower abdominal pain. The past two days, I have had a high fever. It was okay during the day, but yesterday I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said I have mild pelvic inflammatory disease. Do I need to treat pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
Suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) requires immediate treatment, otherwise it can cause harm to the body and may also lead to pelvic abscesses. If the abscess ruptures, it can trigger further inflammation in the body. In addition to potentially causing infertility, it is recommended that patients with PID seek timely medical attention at a reputable hospital for a thorough examination to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment.The daily treatment for PID primarily focuses on symptomatic relief. Patients can take oral medications and supplement with vitamins, while also maintaining a regular schedule and avoiding alcohol consumption.
