Patient's question:
How can pelvic inflammatory disease be diagnosed through a gynecological examination?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, the causes that can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease include: postpartum or post-abortion infection; infection after gynecological surgery. If disinfection is not strict or there is pre-existing chronic inflammation of the reproductive system, it is possible to cause postoperative infection. Alternatively, if the patient does not pay attention to personal hygiene after surgery or does not follow medical advice, such as having sexual intercourse, it can also lead to bacterial retrograde infection and cause pelvic inflammatory disease; neglecting hygiene during the menstrual period can also provide an opportunity for bacteria to cause retrograde infection, leading to pelvic inflammatory disease.Suggestions: Therefore, in daily life, it is important to:
- Avoid various infection pathways, maintain cleanliness and dryness of the perineum, change underwear frequently, and avoid tight or synthetic fabric underwear;
- During the menstrual period, after induced abortion, and after gynecological surgeries such as IUD insertion or removal, if there is vaginal bleeding, sexual intercourse, swimming, tub baths, or saunas must be avoided. Sanitary napkins should be changed frequently;
- Follow medical advice, actively cooperate with treatment, pay attention to rest;
- Maintain regular bowel movements;
- Pay attention to dietary care, strengthen nutrition, and consume light, easily digestible foods.
