Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Married, no children, constant discomfort in the lower abdomen, suspected of gynecological disease. Have been to regular hospitals for multiple check-ups, ultrasound showed no problems, doctors said it might be pelvic inflammatory disease. Is it true that pelvic inflammatory disease may not be detectable on ultrasound? Then what kind of tests can detect it? Have taken many medications for pelvic inflammatory disease with no effect, it's truly painful.Current symptoms: Constant ache in the lower abdomen, slightly painful (seems to get better lower down), often bloated, one spot on the left side of the lower abdomen is more painful, often passing gas when it hurts, could there be a problem with the intestines? Also, I have a bowel movement every morning.
Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to the following in daily life:Avoid all routes of infection, maintain cleanliness and dryness of the perineum, change underwear frequently, and avoid tight or synthetic underwear.
During menstruation, after induced abortion, and after gynecological surgeries such as IUD insertion or removal, if there is vaginal bleeding, sexual activity must be avoided, as well as swimming, tub baths, or saunas. Sanitary napkins should be changed frequently.
Follow medical advice, cooperate actively with treatment, get adequate rest, maintain regular bowel movements, pay attention to dietary care, enhance nutrition, and eat light, easily digestible foods.
