Patient's question:
Laboratory test, careful examination results: I had an abortion on the 10th day, and was forced to have sex with my boyfriend afterward. Since then, I've been feeling some lower abdominal pain, so I went to the hospital. The doctor said I had pelvic inflammatory disease. Afterward, I received intravenous fluids for 10 days and underwent shortwave therapy and audio therapy. I'm also taking anti-inflammatory medication. Now, my lower abdomen only hurts when I press it with my hand, and I feel like I'm talking nonsense. Hello, how much longer do I need to treat it to be completely pain-free and fully cured? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
After an abortion, sexual activity and tub baths should be strictly prohibited within one month. This is because the local resistance of the vagina is weakened after the procedure, making it susceptible to various bacterial infections. The cervix has not fully healed, and any bacterial infection in the vagina can easily spread to the pelvic cavity through the cervix. At this stage, the treatment of inflammation is slow. You have already been on intravenous drips for ten days. If the medication you chose is effective, you should not have any symptoms anymore. It is possible that the medication you used earlier was not effective, and you can no longer receive intravenous medication now.
