What troubles do women face with pelvic inflammatory disease?

Patient's question:

My only feeling is pain.

Doctor's answer:

Considering the possibility of acute pelvic inflammatory disease, it typically presents with lower abdominal pain, fever, and increased vaginal discharge. The abdominal pain is often persistent, aggravated by activity or sexual intercourse. Ultrasound may show fluid-filled areas. Treatment involves antibiotic medication. Mild cases can be treated with outpatient intravenous fluids, commonly using medications such as ofloxacin or cefoxitin sodium, or a combination of third-generation cephalosporins and metronidazole. Severe cases may require hospitalization.
