Patient's question:
Is pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) infertility? My period started on the evening of February 23, but today there is still red-colored discharge like white discharge in my lower abdomen. My lower abdomen is slightly swollen and uncomfortable. I had menstrual cramps last month, and I had pelvic inflammation a year ago. I haven't had an abortion. I don't know if this is inflammation. Should I go to the hospital for a thorough examination? Or is it because I ate cold food, and my period hasn't ended yet? Is it inflammation? Can pelvic inflammatory disease cause infertility?Doctor's answer:

Due to the distance, the treatment effect is better, and sunflower seed rehabilitation anti-inflammatory suppositories are used. Generally, 3-4 courses of treatment are needed for milder conditions. The patient understands 2-3 courses of treatment, 14 days, and 1 course of treatment. It can resist inflammation, reduce immunity, self-heal, and increase the incidence of inflammation. Sexual activity should be determined based on relatively stable conditions and good physical recovery.
