How to check for pelvic inflammatory disease and adnexitis?

Patient's question:

Recently, some friends around me have been carefully checked for gynecological diseases, and I'm also planning to get a physical check-up. How do I check for pelvic inflammatory disease and adnexial inflammation?

Doctor's answer:

Remember to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to understand how you contracted pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and adnexitis. This can be determined through a transvaginal ultrasound examination. In fact, adnexitis is also included in PID, because PID includes adnexitis, endometritis, pelvic tissue inflammation, etc. The main symptoms are lower abdominal discomfort, pain, and lower back soreness. If you have these symptoms, it's best to get a transvaginal ultrasound examination promptly. It's also recommended to have a health check-up once a year.
