Patient's question:
A 60-year-old woman had her uterus removed, and now she has been found to have pelvic inflammation. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the main pathogens causing pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) are: Staphylococcus, Escherichia coli, anaerobic bacteria, and sexually transmitted pathogens (such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma, and herpes simplex virus). The main causes of acute pelvic inflammatory disease are postpartum or miscarriage infection, postoperative infection after intrauterine surgery, poor menstrual hygiene, and direct spread of inflammation from adjacent organs. Acute pelvic inflammatory disease can lead to acute endometritis, acute myometritis, acute salpingitis, tubo-ovarian abscess, acute pelvic connective tissue inflammation, acute pelvic peritonitis, sepsis, and septicemia in the body.
