Patient's question:
For the past few days, I've been feeling unwell. After going to the hospital for a check-up, I found out that I have pelvic inflammatory disease. This surprised me a bit. The doctor prescribed some medicine for me, like "Fuke Qianjin Pian," 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 giving birth, 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.
