Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What are the symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
SymptomsMay include lower abdominal pain accompanied by fever. If the condition is severe, chills, high fever, and anorexia may occur. During peritonitis, digestive system symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distension may appear. If an abscess forms, a palpable mass in the lower abdomen along with local pressure and irritation symptoms may be present. If the mass is anterior, urinary system symptoms may arise, while a posterior location may cause diarrhea, tenesmus, and difficulty defecating, among other rectal irritation symptoms. The primary treatment is antibiotic therapy for infection, with surgical intervention reserved for necessity. Based on experience, broad-spectrum antibiotics should be selected to cover potential pathogens, including Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, mycoplasma, anaerobic bacteria, and aerobic bacteria, among others.
