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, for more than a year now, I haven't had any sexual activity, yet I developed 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., recurring within 2 weeks due to pathogenic bacterial transmission; intrauterine hematoma; intrauterine adhesions, postoperative amenorrhea or significant increase in menstrual volume, sometimes accompanied by cyclical lower abdominal pain or uterine enlargement and hematoma.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.
