Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease and vaginitis in the middle of 2011. I am currently taking medication to treat it, and it has been a year already. Now that it's summer, the weather is very hot. My friends invited me to go ice skating, and I really want to go, but I'm not sure if I can because of my condition.Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) refers to the inflammation of the female pelvic reproductive organs, the connective tissues surrounding the uterus, and the pelvic peritoneum. Chronic PID is often a result of inadequate treatment during the acute phase, as it tends to develop over a long period with persistent symptoms. Bacteria from the external genitalia can spread backward to reach the pelvic area via the uterus and fallopian tubes. However, in real life, not all women develop PID, as it only affects a small minority. Various forms of physical activity can be engaged in, especially endurance training like running and mountain climbing, to boost immunity. In addition to treating PID, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet and maintain a positive mood in daily life to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
