Patient's question:
...What is now feeling a foul odor in the white discharge, how should it be treated? Since I am unmarried, what is the best treatment method? Thank you, expert!Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an inflammation of the female internal reproductive organs and the surrounding connective tissues, as well as the pelvic peritoneum. The inflammation can be localized to one area or occur simultaneously in multiple areas, and it is classified into acute and chronic types. Acute PID is primarily caused by pathogens, and its clinical manifestations can vary depending on the severity and extent of the inflammation. Patients often experience high fever, chills, loss of appetite, and lower abdominal pain, and may also have digestive and urinary system symptoms. Chronic PID is often the result of inadequate or incomplete treatment of acute PID, poor patient constitution, and prolonged duration of the disease. It may also occur without a typical history of acute inflammation, and can present with acute episodes when the body's resistance is weakened. Patients typically have mild systemic symptoms, such as low fever, lower abdominal pain, and back pain. Other symptoms may include increased menstrual flow and leukorrhea. If ovarian function is impaired, menstrual disorders may occur. Tubal adhesion and obstruction can lead to infertility. Proper hygiene during the four phases of the menstrual cycle, active treatment of vaginitis and cervical inflammation, and regular exercise to strengthen the body are recommended. If surgical indications exist, surgical treatment should be performed. For chronic PID, comprehensive treatment is preferable.
