Patient's question:
I have had chronic pelvic inflammatory disease for a year and have been taking medication. Now, during the gynecological examination, there is no tenderness, and the doctor said the inflammation has subsided, so medication is no longer needed. However, I still feel dull pain on both sides of the pelvis and lower back pain. Sometimes, I also experience a faint, tingling pain as if nerves are being pulled in my thighs?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) can be acute or chronic. It refers to the inflammation of the female internal reproductive organs (such as the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and pelvic peritoneum) and their surrounding connective tissues, as well as the pelvic peritoneum. PID is a common gynecological disease. It is divided into acute and chronic types, with different symptoms and causes. Symptoms may include lower abdominal pain, excessive vaginal discharge, fatigue, back pain, and menstrual disorders. Hygiene should be maintained.For gynecological disease patients, their underwear should be sterilized by boiling in hot water, and used bathtubs, towels, etc., should also be disinfected. If either partner has athlete's foot, they should be treated actively. Additionally, during the treatment of PID, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. The patient should pay close attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities.
