Patient's question:
It has been a long time since I had a child, but ever since giving birth, my leukorrhea has returned to abnormal, sometimes mixed with blood streaks. Whenever I engage in prolonged exercise, I experience pain again. I heard from others that this might be caused by pelvic inflammatory disease. I would like to ask what are the symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) can lead to menstrual disorders because PID causes congestion in the pelvic cavity, which may result in excessive blood flow in the patient's body. If this inflammation spreads to the ovaries, it can cause menstrual irregularities and also lead to fatigue. Some patients with PID may also experience depression. Most patients may also experience abdominal pain, accompanied by symptoms such as fever and an increased heart rate. Over time, the discharge may turn into foul-smelling yellow discharge. In conditions like adnexitis, cervical cancer, and vaginitis, abnormal vaginal discharge may also occur.
