How to check if a woman has pelvic inflammatory disease

Patient's question:

I've been feeling a heavy and distended lower abdomen recently, and it's especially painful, especially after doing housework. It gets particularly severe before my period. My period has also become irregular, and sometimes I experience fever and an increase in vaginal discharge. I've lost all my energy. How should I get checked?

Doctor's answer:

1. Ultrasound examination
2. Direct smear of secretions
3. Posterior fornix puncture
4. Laparoscopy for careful examination of pelvic inflammatory disease, preferably performed in a professional and regular hospital.
For patients, if the pelvic inflammatory disease is severe, timely symptomatic treatment and proper medication are necessary. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of pelvic inflammatory disease. In addition, patients need to maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition.
