How to eradicate chronic pelvic inflammatory disease

Pelvic inflammatory disease is a disease that will recur, which makes women miserable. So, how to eradicate chronic pelvic inflammatory disease? The following is a detailed introduction to several treatment methods for chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.

1. General medical treatment

Women should increase their confidence in treatment, improve their nutrition, exercise, and be careful not to be too tired. This will enhance the body's resistance and prevent the recurrence of infection or the spread of infection beyond the scope.

2. Physical therapy

Moist heat can promote blood circulation in the pelvic area, improve the nutritional status of tissues, and enhance metabolism, which is conducive to the absorption and dissipation of inflammation. At the same time, cooperating with relevant medication treatments can promote the body's absorption and utilization of drugs. Common ones include medium and short wave, low frequency therapeutic devices, microwave heating, lasers, positive ion penetration, etc.

3. Antimicrobial treatment

Long-term or repeated combined treatment with multiple antibiotics sometimes has no obvious effect, but it can be used for young people who need to maintain fertility or in acute cases. It is best to use anti-mycoplasma or anti-chlamydia drugs at the same time.

4. Surgery

Surgical treatment is suitable for some patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. These patients suffer from long-term inflammatory stimulation, which causes adhesions around the female genitals. At this time, analgesics have no effect, so the effect of surgical treatment is very good.

Symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease

The pelvis is the gathering place of female reproductive organs and is very susceptible to bacterial infection, which can cause inflammation. There are two types of pelvic inflammatory disease: subacute and chronic. Let's talk about the symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease from two aspects.

Symptoms of acute pelvic inflammatory disease

1. Lower abdominal pain, accompanied by fever and chills;

2. If accompanied by peritonitis, there will be nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, and diarrhea;

3. If a cyst occurs, there may be a lower abdominal mass and local compression irritation symptoms, such as bladder irritation and duodenal irritation;

4. The patient presents with acute illness, high body temperature, rapid heartbeat, abdominal distension, anxiety, tenderness and rebound pain in the lower abdominal muscles;

5. Pelvic examination: The vagina is congested, hot, and has a lot of purulent secretions; the posterior fornix of the vagina is tender to the touch, and the cervix is ​​painful when lifted; the uterus is slightly enlarged and soft, painful, and has limited movement; the adnexal area is thickened, painful, and has lumps.

Symptoms of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease

1. Systemic symptoms are usually not obvious, sometimes with low fever and infectious fatigue. The current medical history is long, and some patients may have neurasthenia.

2. Scar adhesions caused by inflammation and pelvic congestion can cause lower abdominal pain, pain, and lumbar pain, which often worsens during fatigue, sexual intercourse, and before and after menstruation.

3. Due to pelvic congestion, the patient may have increased menstrual periods, ovarian damage may cause menstrual disorders, and fallopian tube adhesion and blockage may cause infertility.

How to prevent pelvic inflammatory disease

1. Pay attention to hygiene, avoid various forms of infection, keep the vagina clean and dry, wash the vulva with cold water every night, ensure that dedicated personnel use dedicated basins, do not dig and wash the vagina vigorously, and do not use hot water, soap, etc. to wash the private parts. When suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease, the amount of leucorrhea is large and thick, so you should change your underwear frequently and do not wear tight-fitting or chemical fiber underwear.

2. Avoid sexual intercourse during sensitive periods. If there is vaginal bleeding during menstruation, after abortion, or after gynecological minimally invasive surgery such as IUD removal, you must strictly refrain from sexual intercourse, swimming, sitting baths, or taking saunas. You must change sanitary napkins frequently. As this will reduce the body's immunity, pathogens can easily enter the body and cause infection.

3. Fever patients usually sweat a lot when reducing fever. They should pay attention to keeping warm and keeping the body dry. Change clothes after sweating and avoid blowing central air conditioning or direct convection wind.

4. Pay attention to personal examination and early detection and treatment. Pay attention to the quantity, quality, color and smell of secretions. If the amount of leucorrhea is large, the yellowish consistency is thick, and there is a foul odor, it indicates that the condition is more serious. If the secretion changes from yellow to white (or light yellow), the amount changes from more to less, and the taste tends to be normal (slightly strange), it indicates that the condition has improved to a certain extent.

5. Patients diagnosed with subacute or subacute pelvic inflammatory disease must follow the doctor's instructions and cooperate closely with the treatment. The patient must rest in bed or in a semi-recumbent position to facilitate localization of inflammation and excretion of secretions.

6. Standard and safe use of medication. Some patients take antibiotics on their own because they suffer from fungal infections and feel a little uncomfortable. Long-term use can cause confusion of beneficial bacteria in the female vagina, resulting in increased female secretions and milky white, bean-like leucorrhea. They should go to the hospital for medical treatment immediately to eliminate fungal vaginitis.

7. Patients with subacute or subacute pelvic inflammatory disease should maintain smooth bowel movements and observe the characteristics of bowel movements to prevent pelvic abscesses from rupturing the intestinal cavity and causing acute peritonitis.

8. Do a good job in contraceptive measures and try to avoid infection caused by abortion surgery.
