Patient's question:
What symptoms does pelvic inflammatory disease present? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) may not present with obvious systemic symptoms, but sometimes it can cause low-grade fever, fatigue, general malaise, insomnia, a sense of heaviness and pain in the lower abdomen, and lower back pain. It may also lead to menstrual irregularities. If left untreated, acute PID can often progress to chronic PID, potentially resulting in infertility.Women with PID should pay attention to maintaining a regular schedule, engaging in moderate exercise, keeping a positive mood, and following a consistent daily routine during treatment. In the initial stages of treatment or during periods of symptom recurrence, it is advisable to avoid sexual activity with a partner. They should also consume more light, warm, and nourishing foods, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits, while minimizing or avoiding fatty, greasy, fried foods. Additionally, spicy, irritating, cold, and cooling foods should be avoided.
