Patient's question:
In this period, my body has been feeling a bit uncomfortable. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I found out that I had pelvic inflammatory disease, which surprised me. The doctor prescribed some medication for me, like "Gynecological Qianjin Tablets," but I don't know if it will be effective. What I want to ask the doctor is, how does pelvic inflammatory disease occur? Is it contagious?Doctor's answer:
1. Damage caused by direct spread of inflammation from nearby organs: When a woman suffers from conditions such as appendicitis or peritonitis, if not treated promptly, inflammation often spreads, leading to pelvic inflammatory disease.2. Postpartum infection: After childbirth, a woman's body is often weak, and the cervix may not close promptly. If hygiene is not maintained or sexual activity occurs too early, it can lead to viral infections, triggering this condition.
