Desired help: What is pelvic connective tissue inflammation?
Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic treatment Broad-spectrum antibiotics can be used. After the results of the antimicrobial sensitivity test, switch to a sensitive antibiotic.Surgical treatment Acute pelvic connective tissue inflammation, in mild cases, surgical treatment is generally not performed to avoid the spread of inflammation or bleeding. However, some situations require the following treatments.
① Retained intrauterine tissue with vaginal bleeding When there is active inflammation, treatment should be initiated. If ineffective or with significant bleeding, while controlling infection with medication, use forceps to carefully and cautiously remove the contents of the uterine cavity, avoiding a D&C procedure.
② Uterine perforation If there is no intestinal injury or internal bleeding, laparotomy for repair may not be necessary.
③ Uterine abscess When there is an abscess, the cervix should be dilated to ensure smooth drainage of pus.
④ When an abscess has formed, drainage surgery should be performed based on the location of the abscess. If the abscess is near the inguinal ligament, wait for it to enlarge before performing drainage. If the abscess is located on one side of the vagina, it should be incised through the vagina, as close to the midline as possible, to avoid damaging the ureters or uterine arteries.
