How to treat pelvic inflammatory disease after a normal delivery

Patient's question:

Since having my child, I've been feeling uncomfortable, always having lower back pain, and some discharge. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, the doctor said it was pelvic inflammatory disease. When I went back home, I didn't pay much attention, and the condition worsened when I went back to the hospital for treatment. It has improved now, but I'm wondering if it's okay to have sex with my husband. I also want to ask how to treat pelvic inflammatory disease after a C-section?

Doctor's answer:

It's better to opt for a cold approach. It's recommended to wait for a month, as sexual activity at this time can easily worsen the disease. Treating it will take more time and cause more trouble. A prolonged course of the illness will extend the duration of the cold sensation. You can have your husband engage in more sports activities or spend time with friends to temporarily divert his attention. Pelvic inflammatory disease is not easy to cure. Patients should maintain a positive mindset and face the disease with optimism. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in combating pelvic inflammatory disease and believe that recovery is certain.
