Patient's question:
Knowing that I was pregnant, I prepared well to be a bride, but I found out that my boyfriend had another woman. So I had an abortion. However, I haven't had any sexual activity for over a year and now I have pelvic inflammatory disease. I don't know if it was caused by the abortion.Doctor's answer:
Recent Complications: Incomplete abortion, postoperative vaginal bleeding lasting more than 15 days; endometritis, adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc., occurring again within 2 weeks post-surgery due to pathogenic bacterial transmission; intrauterine blood accumulation; intrauterine adhesions, postoperative amenorrhea or significantly increased menstrual volume, sometimes accompanied by cyclical lower abdominal pain or uterine enlargement with blood accumulation.Long-term Complications: Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease; menstrual abnormalities; secondary infertility; endometriosis.
Patients directly face the impact of pelvic inflammatory disease. We should actively adopt treatment measures and avoid delaying medical consultation. If pelvic inflammatory disease does not improve with treatment, it is essential to promptly switch to an alternative treatment plan.
