What are the symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease after menopause?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What are the symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease after menopause?

Doctor's answer:

Your mother is 49 years old this year and has gone through menopause. Recently, she mentioned that she hasn't been feeling well. What exactly is wrong with her? If it's pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), it usually presents with lower abdominal pain, lower back and sacral soreness, and increased vaginal discharge. If it's acute PID, it may also cause fever. If your mother has these symptoms, it's likely PID. In this case, it's crucial to seek active anti-inflammatory treatment at the hospital. During rest, adopting a semi-recumbent position helps with the drainage of inflammation. A diet consisting of light, easily digestible fluids or semi-liquids is recommended. During the illness and until it heals, sexual activity is strictly prohibited.
