Patient's question:
After giving birth for three and a half months, I had an IUD inserted. After inserting the IUD, I experienced continuous bleeding, which varied in amount. Three months after the bleeding started, I went to the hospital for an ultrasound examination, and they said there was pelvic effusion and recommended removing the IUD.Doctor's answer:
Main clinical symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease: lower back pain or lower abdominal pain, or worsened by prolonged standing, overexertion, sexual intercourse, or premenstrual period; severe cases may affect work. There may also be increased vaginal discharge, menstrual disorders, heavy menstrual flow, dysmenorrhea, and discomfort during intercourse; fallopian tube blockage, infertility, etc. Over time, there may be a weakened constitution, high stress, and frequent neurasthenia. It is recommended to seek timely medical examination at a formal hospital and receive symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a doctor to avoid delaying the condition.
