What are the adverse effects of having sexual intercourse with your husband when you have pelvic inflammatory disease?

Patient's question:

My two children were both born at home, so I didn't take good care of my inflammation after giving birth. Since having my second child, I've always had pain in my lower abdomen. After a thorough examination at the hospital, they said I have severe pelvic inflammatory disease. I want to ask what the adverse effects would be if I have sexual intercourse with my husband with pelvic inflammatory disease?

Doctor's answer:

Women with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) may experience worsened symptoms if they engage in sexual activity with their partner, in addition to potentially transmitting bacteria to their partner. It is recommended that sexual activity be avoided during treatment. Women with PID are advised to seek medical attention at a formal hospital for thorough examination and diagnosis. Once the condition is clearly identified, targeted treatment should be administered. During treatment, sexual activity should be strictly avoided. If sexual activity is unavoidable, it is recommended to use condoms.
Wishing you good health. PID is a condition that is difficult to cure. Patients should maintain a positive attitude and face the disease with optimism. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in combating PID and believe that recovery is certain.
